Improving dialogue in movies and Dolby Atmos sound is Harman Kardon’s bet for its next sound bar



Sound bars have become an almost indispensable complement to our flat tvsespecially if we do not have much space available in the furniture and we cannot bet on another alternative such as classic stereo speakers or more complex home theater systems.

In this context, one of the manufacturers that continues year after year to improve its catalog of available models is harman kardonwhich have just announced the arrival in their ranks of a new member of the Citation product line under the name of MultiBeam 1100.

We are facing a model designed to accompany televisions of 50 inches or more with a 1150mm width and a height of 65 mm that we can place on the furniture or hung on the wall and that promises a sufficiently powerful sound no need for external subwooferalthough there is also the option of adding a separate one if we wish to have a set of 5.1.2 channels and more solvent bass.

Compatible with soundtracks in Dolby Atmosthe bar makes use of MultiBeam technology with a total of 11 different drivers that generate a combined power of 630 watts. Two woofers located at the top stand out for the Atmos effects, three 50-watt tweeters for treble and eight 60-watt mid-bass woofers.

We also have the PureVoice technology of Harman whose mission is highlight the voices over the rest of the sounds to allow clearer and sharper dialogues that are reproduced directly by the dedicated center channel integrated in the bar.

The rest of the equipment’s functions are completed with compatibility with AirPlay, Alexa, Chromecast integrated as standard, Bluetooth interface to send music from mobiles and connectivity HDMI eARC to connect it to the TV.

In addition, the manufacturer has very wisely chosen to incorporate a system of acoustic calibration to adjust the sound response of the equipment according to its position in the room. We can control all this from the LCD screen or from its remote control.

Dolby Atmos and DTS:X offer great sound, but is it worth upgrading?

Price and availability

the sound bar Harman Kardon Citation MultiBeam 1100 will go on sale in May for a price of 999 and will be available with the front fabric in black and gray.
