James Loudspeaker, distributed by Convergent Technologies, has introduced a series of 2.1 soundbars, delivering left and right-channel audio as well as bass energy from a centre-mounted built-in subwoofer.

These LR-S format soundbars, which can be customised to match nearly every flat-panel display, are ideal for bringing clarity and full-range sound to applications where an external subwoofer is not an option.

James Loudspeaker initially engineered the LR-S soundbar based on market demand from commercial integrators wanting a premium audio solution for boardrooms, conference rooms, lobbies, retail showrooms and nightclubs.

Now, residential integrators have adopted the LR-S format for bedrooms and other zones where a flat-panel TV is present but surround sound generally isn’t a requirement.

Currently available in the company’s SPL5, SPL6 and SPL8 Series soundbars, the LR-S versions offer high-output, superb clarity and bass extension below 60Hz from nearly any size form factor.
