Harman Kardon introduces the Citation MultiBeam 1100 Dolby Atmos soundbar with 11 built-in speakers for a total output of 630W . With a length of 1.15 m , it is perfectly sized for a 55-inch TV.
The cost of new items – 800 Euros , which makes it a formidable competitor to the popular analogue Sonos Arc , which also has 11 speakers and supports Dolby Atmos . However, Harman Kardon has a couple of advantages.
The first is the ability to pass 4K HDR video through its HDMI input and output . And secondly, it is more connectivity options. So, both devices support AiPlay2 , but the Citation MultiBeam 1100 also offers Chromecast , Alexa Multi-room and Bluetooth 5.0 technologies .
Of the 11 speakers in the soundbar , 8 are full-range speakers, including 6 facing forward and 2 facing upwards. They are complemented by 3 tweeters – a central one and two side ones located at the corners. As a result, the channel configuration of the Citation MultiBeam 1100 is 5.1.2 .
If you think that the device lacks low frequencies, it can be supplemented with an external subwoofer, for example, Citation Sub S priced at 400 Euros .
