The prime advantage of this soundbar is that it can switch between six different inputs. It autoplays audio 2.0 content but we did not fully test this – assume MP3 and WMA support. The USB port is 2.0A with a maximum 5V/1A output. You need the separate infrared remote to change inputs and select pre-sets from Music, Movie, News and 3D etc. Note that apart from HDMI, all other ports are PCM 2.0.ĪRC (Audio return channel) means that the TV remote can control the volume. The HDMI ports support Dolby Atmos at compressed if you use a HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 cables (it is not HDMI 2.1 eARC 48Gbps for uncompressed).

The EKO 2.1.2 has loads of ports and options that you typically don’t find on a lower cost soundbar. Setup is a breeze: plug in power, HDMI cable (not supplied) and the subwoofer pairs automatically. You can place the soundbar on the TV cabinet or wall-mount it with the brackets provided. But the bar seems quite substantial for its 960 x 83 x 73 mm size, and the wireless sub with its 370 x 306 x 90mm box. Let’s face it, most soundbars are black plastic with a perforated metal speaker grill, and this is no different. Soundbar and wireless sub details WebsiteĢ.1.2ch Dolby Atmos Soundbar with Wireless SubwooferĮKO is an Australian brand backed by Ayonz with more than 20 years of experience working with consumer lifestyle brands in Australia, Asia and Europe. Don’t worry, any Dolby Atmos all-in-one soundbar does this, and it is all about how well it does it. In essence, it phases sound across the speaker array. The speaker system uses ‘psycho-acoustics’ to trick your ears into hearing 3D spatial (height) sound.
#Soundbar with wireless sub drivers
Sound is then output through the system’s seven drivers (aka speakers), including the sub. The EKO 2.1.2 has a genuine DA decoder that takes the DA metadata (about 128 channels or sound objects) from DA-enabled content over HDMI ARC and downmixes the audio to its 2.1.2 channels. Dolby Atmos (DA) is a much used and abused term – we have seen toasters claiming DA sound! Dolby Atmos is generally regarded as a minimum of 5.1.2 or even 7.1.4 (the last two digits are the number of upwards-firing speakers). Now the 2.1.2 model is a Dolby Atmos-capable soundbar, not a Dolby Atmos soundbar, and EKO is all for helping shoppers understand the distinction.
