Harman Kardon Introduces SB 35 and SB 26 Soundbars

Harman Kardon SB 35

"When developing the Harman Kardon Sabre SB 35 we wanted to make the least intrusive possible soundbar without compromising the sound performance, design and finish that Harman Kardon consumers are expecting. The soundbar shape and format is so useful. It blends right in with flat screen TVs and entertainment systems," said Michael Mauser, President of HARMAN Lifestyle. "Now, with Harman Kardon Sabre SB 35 we have achieved what we believe is the slimmest multichannel 8.1 soundbar on the market with only 1.25" depth."

The new Harman Kardon soundbars are the perfect solution for high-quality sound for home theatre, TV shows, sports, music and gaming. All in an attractive, two-piece package designed to blend in seamlessly with existing listening environments. They feature multiple HDMI inputs to easily connect with flat screen TVs or external audio, video and gaming sources. And they offer high quality Bluetooth streaming of music directly from smartphones and tablets, each system is a custom blend of perfectly matched components that work together to produce superior sound imaging without taking over the living room.

Harman Kardon soundbars are compatible with the new Harman Kardon Remote App, available for iPhone, iPad and Android devices. With it, you can stream your music collection from anywhere on your network or portable device directly to the new Harman Kardon soundbars.
