Overview
The excitement of installing surround sound is so often countered by the headache of how to handle - and how to hide - the metres of cabling that goes with it.
Not so with the MusicCast BAR 40 SW. Its elegant and compact soundbar connects to your TV with a single cable whilst the sub-woofer, with its smart piano-black finish, won't look out of place on display; alternatively it can be hidden discreetly elsewhere in the room. The two parts of the system connect wirelessly so there's no need for running cables.
On its own, the MusicCast BAR 40 SW offers DTS' jaw-dropping Virtual: X Surround technology, making sound seem to come from around the room.
When you're ready to extend the system, just add compatible MusicCast Surround wireless speakers to instantly transform the system into true surround sound.
And, with MusicCast multi-room technology built in, it's compatible with Bluetooth, Airplay, network audio and internet radio and podcasts - as well as streaming sources such as Spotify.
