LAS VEGAS–We covered all of LG’s major product announcements on Wednesday, but when we swung by the booth yesterday the LLB915 Blu-ray sound bar caught our eye. We’re not quite sure why LG didn’t mention it at the press conference, but the feature set is impressive. Here’s what the product card said.
Key features of the LG LLB915:
Sound bar with built-in Blu-ray player
2 HDMI inputs, 1 output
430 watts of power
Wireless subwoofer
Built-in Wi-Fi
LG’s NetCast suite of streaming media services, including Netflix, Vudu, CinemaNow, YouTube, Pandora, Picasa, and AccuWeather
DLNA-compliant
No release date or pricing announced
The card at the booth also mentioned the LLB915 was “made for iPod”, which implies it has an iPod dock, but we couldn’t see one at the booth. Again, LG hasn’t released any info for this product beyond the product card at the CES 2010 booth, but we’ve requested more details.
From the first glance, the LLB915 appears to have stuffed the functionality of the BD390 standalone Blu-ray player into a sound bar, plus added two additional HDMI inputs for other devices. If it delivers passable sound quality, this could be a product to look for in 2010.

Panasonic is a major manufacturer of home-theater-in-a-box (HTIB) systems, but the company is making its first entry into the sound bar market with the SC-HTB1. The press release highlights its “Clear-Mode Dialogue” feature and advanced bamboo cone speakers, but the most interesting announcement to us is its compatibility with ARC (audio return channel), allowing you to “connect it to the TV with just one HDMI cable.”
An audio return channel is one of the new features of the HDMI 1.4 standard, and theoretically you could connect all your components directly to your HDMI 1.4-compatible HDTV with just a single HDMI cable sending the audio back to the sound bar.
Great in theory, but we won’t know how well it works until we actually get our hands on a review unit. We imagine there could be challenges with analog audio sources that would need to be converted to digital audio by the TV.
There was no pricing or availability announced, so we’ll have to wait for more information about the SC-HTB1.

It seems like your only choices for outside speakers are bland white boxes, rocks, and tree stumps. Now I’m not dendrophobic, but even the best of these don’t really look like tree stumps.
With the Sat30 and Sub10, Polk has made some speakers designed to blend a little more naturally, if less “organically.”
Your first question might be, what maniac reviews outdoor speakers in December? Well, it’s 66 degrees outside, which sure beats the temp in the summer, which can feel like double that. Summer is when we retreat inside.
The Sat30 is about the size of a small light fixture, which is not by accident. One of the installation options is to hang the speakers from the patio roof as if they are light fixtures. Inside is a 3.5-inch “Dynamic Balance Composite Cone” midrange. In front of that is a 0.75-inch “Dynamic Balance Polyurethane Tweeter,” a layout reminiscent of car speakers. The frequency response of the satellites is a claimed 100 Hz to 22 kHz. These sats are “weatherproof.” Polk says their design was tested down to -40 F and up to 185 F. It’s never reached that hot here in the summer, as far as I know.
The Sub10 does a pretty convincing job of looking like a ceramic planter, or at least the base of a ceramic planter. Again, by design. Inside you’ve got a 10-inch “Dynamic Balance Composite Driver” with dual voice coils. These dual coils are powered by separate connections to your receiver/amp.
Because the Sub10 is passive, you’ll be hooking it up to the same speaker terminals as the Sat30s, that is unless you have lots of extra channels on your amp. This results in a 4 ohm load on the receiver/amp (each sat and each “channel” of the sub are 8 ohms). This shouldn’t be a problem for pretty much any modern amp or receiver, though you should read your instruction manual to be sure.
Installation was easy, regardless of how you want to install them. I chose the most time consuming; actually mounting them to some joists in my covered patio. The speakers came with a template for the pilot holes, and there were only two screws per satellite.
Alternately, as I mentioned earlier, you can hang the sats like the light fixtures their design mimics. Or, you can attach them to the included spike and stick them in your yard. They’re also paintable.
What makes reviewing outdoor speakers of any variety a challenge is that the sound is going to vary depending on how and where you install them. For example, if you choose to hang them, the high frequencies are going to suffer if you’re not sitting pretty close to under them. If you mount them to a wall, you may get a bump in the upper-bass frequencies (though often this is a benefit given the wide open spaces they’ll be trying to fill).
I installed them on a joist in a semi-enclosed patio up near the roof. The sub was in a corner in the same area. I chose to run the speaker wires to the sub, and then just have one pair or wires running to my amp. You could also run pairs of wires from each speaker, and the two from the sub, to their own amp channels, or wire them together at the stereo speaker terminals on a receiver.
That said, the high frequency drop-off isn’t too bad, so even if you’re sitting away from their main direction, you still get a decent amount of high end. The tweeter is impressively good, delivering detailed highs without sounding harsh or gritty, which is what I’ve heard in many outdoor speakers.
There is a gap, like with all sub/sat systems, between the lowest notes the sats can provide and the highest that the sub can produce. This lower-midrange/upper-bass area is pretty absent, but I can’t imagine anyone is doing critical listening on their porch, so I’m probably just nit picking.
Bass is good, though is benefitted/harmed by placement. I placed the unit in the corner, which gave a nice boost to the bass, though it was almost too much. At least, standing in the patio area it was. Out further in the yard, it blended better with the sats.
One of the tracks I found that showed off the Sat30/Sub10’s strengths was “Love” from Air’s latest album Love 2. The bass came through strong, and the synths, vocals and percussion filled the space at all volumes.
My advice, if you pick up a set of these speakers, is to experiment with placement of the sub and sats before you mount anything. There are plenty of options, and a bit of adjustment beforehand will probably pay off in much better sound quality in the long run.
The Sat30/Sub10 combo is a well designed and unobtrusive alternative to the bland white boxes or herbologically based alternatives. The sound is better than you’d expect from such inexpensive speakers and will definitely supply you with quality outdoor music, no matter what the weather.

Wireless remote control cars and wireless phones are common these days. And now, here comes wireless outdoor speakers. It seems like manufacturers are doing away with anything wired these days. That’s maybe because wires can be a clutter at times. They tend to get damaged easily too. Have you counted the times when you have to ditch a speaker or two just because the wires got broken? Well, this is just one reason why wireless speakers are gaining popularity these days.
These devices may not be something highly technical. But they are the best additions to your home entertainment system. These devices were made for outdoor use. But they can be used inside the house too. Wireless outdoor speakers come with a compatible transmitter system. This transmitter is to be plugged into an audio device. It works with most audio players, including iPods, CD players, and even a TV. When switched on, the system would send a signal from the transmitter to towards the wireless speaker. This signal would travel through the air.
Once the transmitter and the audio device are associated with each other, the system should work seamlessly. And you’ll get crystal clear and high quality sound from the speaker. Of course, the actual quality of the stereo sound would depend upon who created the speakers and the materials that were used for it.
Wireless outdoor speakers works within a certain range. Find out how far the transmitter’s signal would go to maximize its use. You can try to walk around the house with the speaker. Go outside and take a few steps until there’s no sound coming from it. That’s when you drop out of range. With these speakers, you can listen to your favorite music loud and clear. You don’t have to strain your ears listening to your iPod anymore.
Because the speakers are wireless, you can bring them anywhere you like. Take it on the garage, out in the porch, in the garden, or the garage. Share your favorite songs with your friends and neighbors. Now everybody can hear good music anywhere they want to.
With that, it becomes clear how wireless outdoor speakers can definitely make parties so much fun and exciting. Now, you can hold themed parties easily. Host the perfect bridal shower for your friend by compiling all her favorite songs and play it inside and outside the party area. You can even hold a barbeque party with a cowboy theme next. Just prepare a list of cowboy songs for your iPod and play it using the wireless speakers. Your party won’t get any better than that.

Sound bars have always been a bit of the redheaded stepchild of the home theater world for me, a replica of sorts for those unable to accommodate or afford a proper home theater. Of course I jumped to this conclusion before I had actually heard or even experienced a sound bar system and now that I have, I’m prepared to modify my views. I totally get it now. While I’m not about to ditch my reference home theater, I’ll be the first to admit I’ve enjoyed my time with Vizio’s new sound bar and wireless subwoofer – so much so, I actually found myself carting Blu-rays up to my bedroom system over my reference rig.
The Vizio VSB210WS sound bar retails for a very attractive $349.99 and is sold direct through Vizio’s own site as well as through a bevy of retailers like Costco. Your $349.99 buys you a single speaker that looks a bit like a Bang & Olufsen product (if I’m honest), that houses four three inch mid/bass drivers and two three-quarter inch aluminum dome tweeters. Visually, the main speaker is quite stunning and is wall mountable or table ready via its attached stand. However, upon closer examination – especially to the touch, the materials are a bit “budget” – but then again, how often do we physically interact with our speakers? The grill is technically removable, but I get the feeling Vizio would prefer you didn’t. A peek behind the curtain reveals the drivers are situated in stereo configuration with the tweeters resting along the outside edges of the sound bar. While the driver placement is better left a mystery, the inputs offered are not; located dead center on the back of the sound bar. The VSB210WS’s sound bar features two stereo RCA inputs and a single optical Toslink input allowing for a total of three sources to be connected to and switched between via the main sound bar’s remote. Source as well as input and volume control can also be handled via the VSB210WS’s top mounted manual controls, though I doubt many users will rely to heavily on these.
Along with the Vizio VSB210WS’s main speaker it also comes complete with a wireless powered subwoofer, which features a Class D amplifier driving a six and a half inch long throw driver, giving it a reported frequency response of 35Hz up to 80Hz. Not exactly a barnburner but then again the VSB210WS is built for convenience, stealth and affordability, not earth-rattling bass. The VSB210WS’s sub can be placed virtually anywhere within 60 feet of the main sound bar so long as the two share a line of sight and there is a nearby power outlet. The sub itself features no crossover and/or volume controls, those are handled by the VSB210WS’s remote, which I’ll get to later.
Unlike sound bars from the likes of Yamaha or Polk, the Vizio VSB210WS doesn’t decode and/or playback Dolby or DTS formats in a sort of faux surround sound presentation. The VSB210WS uses SRS TruSurround HD to reproduce a virtual surround sound experience from any mono, stereo or matrix encoded content. Along with the SRS TruSurround HD processing, the VSB210WS also has SRS TruBass and SRS Dialog Clarity for enhanced bass and vocal response and SRS Definition for sound enhancement and SRS TruVolume to eliminate the volume spike between program material and louder than thou television commercials. Take that Sham Wow guy.
Aside from the sound bar and subwoofer, the VSB210WS can also support up to three SRS wireless headphones and control them via the remote. Speaking of remote, the VSB210WS’s isn’t all bad. It’s compact and very thin yet feels good in the hand. There is no backlighting or even glow-in-the-dark keys here, but with only nine buttons of control, you quickly memorize the remote’s layout. From the remote you can control power, input and volume, as well as activate the various SRS features, as well as turn the sub up or down.
The VSB210WS doesn’t have a display screen nor a video out to accommodate an on-screen display, so all of the remote’s commands are displayed via a series of small white and red lights that can be a bit difficult to decipher at first but after about a day’s use begin to make total sense.
The Vizio VSB210WS arrived right on the heels of the Anthem D2v A/V processor and boy talk about polar opposites. The hardest part about installing the VSB210WS is taking it out of the box. I placed the VSB210WS below my Samsung LCD HDTV which resides in my bedroom and set the wireless subwoofer next to my bedroom rack a few feet to the side of the sound bar and voila. Oh, and I connected a single optical cable (not included) from my Samsung’s optical audio out to the VSB210WS’s single optical audio in, which automatically muted the Samsung’s internal speakers. Okay, that was it.
Once powered up I didn’t bother with the manual and pretty much had the VSB210WS figured out in about two minutes. It’s that easy. Getting the subwoofer to communicate with the sound bar was a snap. However getting it to blend seamlessly with the sound bar took some time and a wide range of source material for me to find the proper balance. I say balance because the subwoofer level control isn’t a picture of precision, as I found a click of the remote plus or minus would result in just a bit more adjustment than I was hoping for. Nevertheless, I found a reasonable setting and once set I never gave it another thought. Vizio would have you believe that you can place the sub virtually anywhere, it is wireless after all, but don’t be fooled for the rules of proper subwoofer placement still apply and will pay dividends in the overall sound quality if adhered to.
Since the VSB210WS was hooked up via a single optical cable from my Samsung LCD my sources were limited to what was hooked up to my television, mainly an AppleTV, Sherwood Blu-ray player and AT&T U-Verse HD DVR.
Also, I should point out that I carried out the review with the VSB210WS’s SRS Surround feature turned on, for when it’s off the VSB210WS’s sonic performance becomes decidedly one-dimensional and boxy if I’m honest. The SRS processing transforms the VSB210WS’s sound so dramatically, I’m curious as to why Vizio made it an option you can turn off and on. Leave it on and break the button that can toggle it off – I did.
Conclusion
Despite the current economic situation our need for entertainment continues to grow, though our ability to pay for costly entertainment-driven expenses and/or luxury goods, like a dedicated home theater, is dwindling. What’s a person to do?
HDTV’s are getting cheaper everyday, a charge no doubt led by Vizio, one of the nation’s largest HDTV manufacturers, and now with the introduction of their VSB210WS sound bar the promise of an affordable complete home theater solution may be upon us. While not quite as robust or completely immersive as a traditional 5.1 or 7.1 home theater system, the Vizio VSB210WS sound bar gets you more of the way there with less than any other sound bar before and all at a price seemingly everyone can afford. If you’re looking to build a no-frills home theater for a small to medium sized living room or simply want to add a bit of cinematic punch to your bedroom or office system the Vizio VSB210WS is a great way to go.

The Totem Acoustic Wind Design is a unique-looking floor-standing loudspeaker that combines a rakish appearance with extremely high-quality drivers and construction. At $13,995 per pair suggested retail, the made-in-Canada Totem Wind Design is clearly a high-end loudspeaker – and looks like one. Its cabinet is tapered from bottom to top and features a number of angular beveled surfaces, which not only look striking, but also position the drivers at precise angles for optimum imaging both on- and off-axis. The finishes are stunning – the pair I encountered was done in a gorgeous, perfectly done high-gloss red. The Wind Design is also available in gloss blue, white and black (standard Wind series models have a choice of more traditional wood finishes), and the multilayer polyester paint finishes are environmentally friendly.
The Wind Design is a three-way, four-driver speaker system, incorporating an eight-and-one-half-inch cast-frame, long-throw woofer, dual five-and-one-half-inch cast-frame midrange drivers featuring a three-inch voice coil and wrap-around neodymium magnet structure, and a one-inch alloy-dome tweeter mounted in its own low-resonance chamber. The woofer and midrange drivers are also housed in separate but interlinked sub-enclosures, and the cabinet is of a monocoque design, a construction technique that supports structural load by using the loudspeaker’s external skin, as opposed to an internal frame. This design, along with a unique “skid plate” bottom plate, helps to dissipate unwanted sonically deleterious internal vibrations.
The speaker measures 44.3 inches high by 10.7 inches wide by 14 inches deep. It has a frequency response of 24Hz – 21kHz, plus or minus 3dB in-room, 87dB sensitivity and a nominal impedance of four ohms. The crossover points are 195Hz and 2.5kHz, using what designer Vince Bruzzese calls “very shallow progressive proprietary second order” crossover slopes, featuring high-quality Mundorf gold and silver foil capacitors. The crossover has been recalibrated and specially tuned (compared to the standard Wind model) for use in the Wind Design. The recommended amplifier power range is 80 to 250 watts. The speaker features many additional refinements, including a tilt adjustment for setting the angle of the front of the speaker.
If I could sum up the sound of the Totem Wind Design in one word, it would be “involving.” For me, one of the immediate criteria of a loudspeaker is whether it draws me into the music and sound, or somehow puts me off. This is as much an emotional as an analytical reaction, but conveying the emotion of the music is what high-end audio is supposed to be all about, isn’t it? The Wind Design drew me in.
The bass is full, extended and powerful, with a low-frequency response to 21Hz. This is a true full-range speaker, with no subwoofer required to hear deep bass. The midrange is clear and, well, involving, and the treble is pure. The overall presentation is smooth, detailed and rich, without any trace of being forward, bright or recessed. Imaging was convincing and the soundstage went far beyond the boundaries of the speakers in width and depth, creating an aural landscape that made for an utterly compelling sonic presentation.
High Points
• The Wind Design is striking in appearance, with a choice of stunning red, blue, black or white high-gloss, environmentally friendly finishes.
• It delivers true high-end sound: smooth yet detailed, full-range, involving and powerful, with exceptional imaging and soundstaging.
• The Wind Design’s frequency response goes down to 21Hz, meaning it can reproduce true deep bass with no subwoofer required.
Low Points
• Like any other loudspeaker with an idiosyncratic appearance, its looks won’t be for everyone.
• Its 87dB efficiency rating means that it will require more amplifier power to play at a given volume than more efficient speaker designs do, and you’ll need to think carefully about what amplifier you want to use (this is true of any high-end speaker).
Conclusion
The Totem Acoustics Wind Design loudspeaker offers a compelling combination of striking design and musically compelling sound quality, with a smooth tonal balance, excellent resolution, imaging and soundstaging, and true, authoritative deep bass. Above all, the Wind Design draws you into the music. There aren’t many exceptional loudspeakers out there. This is one of them.

Canton, Germany’s largest and best-selling manufacturer of high-quality loudspeakers, has announced the introduction of two new models in its acclaimed Vento loudspeaker series. The three-way floorstanding Canton Vento 880 and the two-way Canton Vento 810 compact bookshelf speaker are the first models in the line to incorporate the company’s 6-inch aluminum cone woofer, giving them a front baffle that is a full inch narrower than other Vento models.
Both the Vento 880 and Vento 810 include the company’s acclaimed ADT-25 aluminum-manganese dome tweeter, with Canton’s flared “transmission” style front plate and advanced suspension for outstanding off-axis linearity and high frequency dispersion. Each also features a newly refined 6-inch woofer that affords them a slimmer footprint while maintaining the highly musical deep bass response that the series is known for.
The Canton Vento 880 DC is a three-way bass reflex floorstanding model, featuring a pair of aluminum cone woofers, and a matched 6-inch aluminum midrange driver. At 39-inches tall, and just under 8″ wide, the speaker’s slim line cabinet is further accentuated by the Vento series’ hallmark curved side panels. It also features Canton’s exclusive DC technology, which uses a proprietary high-pass filter to eliminate signals below the audible frequency range, which can otherwise generate high levels of unwanted harmonic distortion in the audible lower bass range. DC technology allows the speaker to provide clear, linear bass reproduction at frequencies lower than comparably-sized conventional speakers.
The Canton Vento 810 is a compact two-way speaker that is the smallest model in the Vento lineup. With a single 6-inch aluminum woofer, and a compact design, the speaker is ideal for use as a small monitor for audiophile-grade music reproduction, or as a satellite or surround speaker for a full-fledged home theater system.
Like the rest of the Vento line, both the Vento 880 DC and Vento 810 each feature gold-plated speaker terminals, including biwire/biamp capability for the 880 DC. Each model is available in the line’s hand-rubbed black, white, or silver piano- lacquer finish, as well as a stunning high-gloss cherry veneer finish.
The Vento 880 DC and Vento 810 are both currently available at suggested retail prices of $2,250 and $800 each, respectively.

ProMedia 2.1 Wireless FAQs
How is the new ProMedia 2.1 considered wireless when I have to use wire to connect the speakers to the subwoofer and then plug it in?
There are many misconceptions about wireless audio. Often, when people see the words “wireless” and “speakers” together, they assume the entire sound system is wire and cable free. However, no such speaker system exists—unless it runs off of batteries. Speakers need a power source to drive them and that source needs to connect to electricity.
With the ProMedia 2.1 Wireless, the subwoofer is the power source. This heavy-hitter plugs into a wall outlet and the two speakers connect to it via wires. Wireless, in the case of the ProMedia, means no wires attach to the computer. This allows users to move their laptops freely around the room without ever losing their 2.1 sound.
How do I re-sync the ProMedia with its wireless transmitter?
The ProMedia and USB wireless transmitter are synced together when they leave the factory. It’s very rare they would ever become un-synced. However, should it happen, there is a button on the subwoofer and a button on the transmitter that you push to get them in tune again.
