The Vizio VSB210WS is the first sound bar offered by Vizio, who are typically known for their TVs. The VSB210WS is designed to deliver a high performance surround sound experience without the clutter or cost of a full 5.1 multiple speaker surround set-up. Measuring 39.95" wide, 4.82" high and 11.87" deep, the main unit contains four 3" high efficiency mid/bass transducers and two 1" high-performace aluminum dome neodymium tweeters, giving a total harmonic distortion of less than .01%. Featuring SRS TruSurround for an immersive surround sound, it is also one of the first products to utilize SRS Labs' TruVolume which prevents extreme volume fluctuations from channel changes or commercial breaks. The hybrid table top stand and wall mounting bracket allow ultimate installation flexibility for the 7.8 lb soundbar. There is an optional Auto Sync 2.4GHz wireless subwoofer with 6.5" long throw providing a bass frequency response of 35Hz to 80Hz. The subwoofer box measures 39.95” wide, 4.82” high and 4.33” deep and weighs 15.5 lbs. Setup is made simple with only one cable required to connect the soundbar unit to a flat panel TV. The elegant piano black finish with subtle chrome accents make this system as pleasent to the eyes as it is to the ears. The unit without subwoofer costs an affordable $200, and $350 with the subwoofer included.
