Fans of high definition TVs rave about the unbeatable picture quality they produce but rarely even mention the sound. That’s because their TVs don’t give them much to talk about. That’s where the Harman Kardon SB 16 comes to the rescue.

Harman Kardon knows that while nearly everyone wants better TV sound quality, few want to sacrifice a lot of real estate to speakers and amplifiers. The SB 16 provides an elegant 2.1 speaker solution that takes up little space but delivers spacious sound. The sound bar houses left- and right-channel two-way speaker modules to bring dialogue and music to the forefront. Its built-in amplifier comes out miles ahead of typical TV-powered sound. Just connect your TV, Blu-ray player or satellite/cable box with the included cables and you’re on your way to a greatly enhanced entertainment experience.

Most televisions today don’t produce much bass. The SB 16 comes with a 100-watt wireless subwoofer. Its 10″ driver guarantees you’ll get the kind of low, tight rumble that makes action scenes something you can feel in your gut. And film scores play a bigger role, with all of the instruments present in full range. And because the sub is wireless you can place it wherever it’s convenient for you.
