Projectors Reviews, price and comparision

To pay off, a sound bar speaker system must do two things: sound better than your TV speakers and sounds louder than your TV speakers. If not, can the sound from your TV amp why bother? The Insignia NS-BAR-A home theater sound bar retails for only $199.99 (exclusively at best buy), so that there seem to be experience on paper, an affordable way to your television. Unfortunately, there is no to justify the Oomph and loyalty to the efforts.

Design
The 3.5 from 38 of 4.6 inches (HWD), 7-pound sound bar is a simple trapezoid-shaped block only by a rectangular black insignia logo in the middle of his soft distinguished grille. Buttons, including a light power button, sit in the middle of the upper edge of the bar control. The back of the sound bar has a 3.5 mm line-in, a stereo RCA input, a subwoofer output, two switches cable jack for the use of the sound bar with other, optional devices such as subwoofer and a INcontrol, to connect and control the system with an insignia HDTV. The device is missing an optical audio input, that could have provided easier both (one cable), and higher quality audio connections with HDTVs, Blu-ray players and other devices home theater. Because the sound bar offer not even simulated surround sound, the lack of a 5.1 channel enabled optical input is not a breaker, but it is certainly a missed convenience. At 38 inches is the insignia sound bar baking 36 to 42-inch HDTVs, line up with if you could use with all size.

The 6, 8-inch remote control is blocky and easy levels with buttons for power, input, volume, subwoofer and Audyssey dynamic volume. Considering the sound bar not subwoofer and dynamic volume come with a settings rather than for a single button off Audyssey had light, medium, and heavy level, the remote control would have been much, much more compact.

While it has some interesting features on paper, the insignia system is a very simple barebones device in practice. If you from your home theater with nothing other than best buy products from Rocketfish and insignia brand deck you can wirelessly collect things such as a Rocketboost wireless card to stream audio to the sound bar or do taxes the sound bar with your TV remote control with a INcontrol cable. These functions are worthless if you want to use other device brands, though, so they can ignore you if you are only a few specific elements buy enough and donated only by best buy. In addition to Rocketboost and Incontrol integrated to prevent the Audyssey dynamic volume sound bar for advertising/songs/fighting from getting too loud. It is really only useful for TV watch out, if the volume of the programming and commercials can vary game. It is a little easier, and found on the (the Vizio VHT510 system ($389.99, 4-star), the SRS Labs TruVolume HD uses.)

Performance
With 120 Watt Peak power and no subwoofer (commissioning all 120 Watt of the sound bar alone) the system should have much punch. It sports two 3, 5-inch woofers, two 2-inch midrange driver and a 0, 8-inch tweeter. In practice all these drivers only pump out a modest stereo soundscape. I tested the sound bar speaker with John Carpenter's escape from New York, and while certainly everything by the whirring of helicopters on the 1980s synthesizer-heavy soundtrack expressed it well enough, the speakers on the Sony HDTV have tested that I kick it not noticeably better sounding audio as it out. It has certainly louder but higher sound rough and fuzzy at higher as TV volumes sounds like dialog box.

Our standard bass test track, the knife "silence scream," revealed a strange mood on the sound bar. At medium volume of song thumping bass sound decent (but not great), but if I maxed out the volume cut out low end completely, reducing the bass too vaguely popping sound. While this prevented blowing out from the sound bar, it also it prevents a satisfactory full sound on the highest volume stretches levels.

The Insignia NS-BAR-A home theater sound bar your TV in General anemic speakers a decent amount of kick added, but a good speakers substitute prevents the poor quality of the audio it. While others sound bar systems we have reviewed, the Vizio VHT510 and the Samsung HW-D400 costs $499.99 (4 star) with at least twice as much as the insignia, she deleted also far superior sound.
