Orbitsound announces SB60 airSOUND Base 5-speaker system for your TV

Orbitsound SB60

British audio company, Orbitsound, has been gunning for the spot just under your TV for a while. It’s newest device, the SB60 airSOUND Base, is the latest contender for this front-room real estate. The one-box solution measures 60cm x 30cm x 8cm, and squeezes in two front-facing speakers, another pair of “side-firing” ones (to add width,) plus a subwoofer for… well, you know. There’s an optical connection for the TV audio, or a 3.5mm jack if you want to pipe anything else through it. The airSOUND Base’s all black finish will likely match most of the sets you’d want place on top, though there is a changeable silver grille if this is more to your taste. Orbitsound claims it’s particularly suitable for 32- to 42-inch screens, but can handle many others right unto 55″. The SB60 airSOUND Base goes on sale in the UK today for £299.

Orbitsound Releases The M Series Soundbars With Bluetooth ConnectivityOrbitsound, a UK based audio company, has announced the release of its M range of soundbars.  The latest offerings are the M9 and M12 soundbars with Bluetooth connectivity and a wireless subwoofer. Both models come with Orbitsound’s propitiatory spatial sound technology.

The newest Soundbars look somewhat the same as the T series, but the M series comes with upgrades to the soundbars. The biggest update is the Bluetooth capability, allowing users to connect a smartphone, tablet or any other Bluetooth enabled device to the Soundbar. Previous models included a docking station, which has been removed. Also with the M series is a wireless subwoofer that uses a bespoke low-latency 2.4GHz connection. It has volume control included on the back of it. The M series comes with settings memory, which basically saves the volume, the source and other settings, so that the next time you plug in your favorite device, you do not have to manually change the settings.

The system comes with a Bluetooth remote control. Priced at roughly $450 for the M9 and $600 for the M12, the Soundbar is expected to hit the stores in March.
