![]() While the VSB210WS package includes both the soundbar and the sub for $350, you can also buy the soundbar separately, as the VSB210 ($200). However, in my case, this happened automatically when I plugged everything in. A Link button on the back works the wireless-connection miracle. Like the soundbar, the sub has an outboard wall-wart power supply. The 6.5-inch sub has a non-rectangular MDF enclosure, just over a foot tall, that curves around the back. Two curved-metal feet can be repurposed as wall mounts. The back panel has two stereo analog inputs, an optical digital input, and a power jack. LEDs inside the right-hand side of the grille serve as indicators for master volume, sub volume, and the status of TruVolume and TruSurround. TVOL toggles SRS TruVolume, while TSHD toggles SRS TruSurround. It includes controls for Power, Bar volume up/down, Sub volume up/down, Mute, Input, and buttons that activate the enhancements described below. The top controls duplicate those on the tiny remote, so the remote can spend a few years between the sofa cushions without incapacitating the product. ![]() Inside the back-ported enclosure are two 0.75-inch aluminum-dome tweeters and four 3-inch paper cone woofers, all powered by two channels of 20 watts each. The VSB210WS includes a nearly 40-inch-wide soundbar speaker with a shiny black plastic enclosure that’s slightly dressed up by aluminum end caps. The now publicly traded SRS Labs holds more than 300 patents and licenses audio technologies to HP, LG, Samsung, and many others. Hughes Aircraft was once a major aerospace and defense contractor before it broke up and various other corporations absorbed its pieces. SRS Labs spun off from Hughes Aircraft, which was the company founded by Howard Hughes. Vizio licensed the processing for this soundbar speaker from SRS Labs. The very attractive-looking soundbar speaker comes with a wireless subwoofer and enough name-brand audio processing to furrow brows at the Pentagon. Somehow, that makes the next few details all the sweeter. But before you read any further, keep in mind that this 2.1-channel soundbar and subwoofer package sells for $350. It would be unjust to the Vizio VSB210WS High Definition Sound Bar to dwell too long on its price. So Vizio, quite logically, added a soundbar speaker to its product line. Of course, flat-panel fun is only 50 percent of the home theater equation. In just a few short years, this Irvine, California–based company has come out of nowhere to become the number-two brand in LCD HDTVs. Wireless sub works with no setup hassles.Price: $350 At A Glance: First soundbar to use SRS TruVolume audio processing
