2.1 configuration device is aimed primarily at gamers who are not willing to shell out the big bucks for a full-blown surround sound system.\u00a0And in between games, it will provide excellent movie viewing with support for Dolby Atmos, DTS: X and DTS: Virtual X, says the manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>The soundbar offers three audio modes for games, developed with input from the sound engineers at Square Enix.\u00a0First Person Shooter mode provides accurate localization of the sound source, allowing you to determine from which side the noise of footsteps or the clang of enemy weapons is heard.\u00a0Voice mode enhances the clarity of character dialogue, while Role-Playing Game is optimized for Final Fantasy XIV Online.<\/p>\n<p>The price and launch date of the device have not yet been announced, but it is known that the standard version of the SoundSlayer SC-HTB01 costs about $ 300.<\/p>\n<!-- FeedbackWP Plugin --><div        class=\"rmp-widgets-container rmp-wp-plugin
