Billed as “a true game changer in the high-performance sound bar landscape,” Definitive Technologies’ W Studio Micro brings what just might be the slimmest sound bar we’ve seen. More importantly, it adopts that ultra-slim profile without compromising sonic performance, ensuring you still get to enjoy the outfit’s studio-quality sound, all while adding an ultra-minimal footprint to your media cabinet.
A part of the outfit’s Wireless Collection, the sound bar measures just 1.75 inches in height, ensuring it will fit comfortably in front of even the lowest TV stands. Despite the unusually compact enclosure, it boasts solid audio hardware, ensuring it can deliver on the outfit’s promise of “elevated sound quality and impact.”
Inside the Definitive Technology W Studio Micro’s brushed dark aluminum enclosure sits a 3.1-channel amplifier powering four 3-inch drivers and three 1-inch aluminum dome tweeters, equipping it with hi-fidelity sound despite the less-than-imposing size. The included subwoofer is considerably bulkier, but the wireless configuration means it can be placed at a more inconspicuous part of your home theater setup. It comes with two optical inputs and one AUX input for hooking up your TV and audio players, along with onboard WiFi for streaming your favorite online services and DTS Play-Fi for streaming music in your own library. An accompanying app (iOS and Android, with a special version for Kindle Fire devices) allows you to set up the rig and start streaming wirelessly in minutes.
Available now, the Definitive Technology W Studio Micro is priced at $899.
