Compact soundbar with wireless subwoofer for rooms up to 20 square meters.
Features Dolby Atmos for a 3D soundstage and optional wireless rear speakers for 4.1 channels.
Extensive connectivity options include HDMI (eARC), Bluetooth AAC, and more.
Teufel Audio has unveiled the Cinebar 11, a sleek soundbar equipped with a wireless subwoofer, designed to deliver an immersive audio experience for rooms up to 20 square meters. Boasting eight long-throw drivers and eight dedicated amplifiers, the Cinebar 11 ensures detailed and powerful sound reproduction. The included T6 subwoofer can be positioned either vertically or horizontally, allowing for discreet placement under furniture without compromising bass performance.
Supporting Dolby Atmos, the Cinebar 11 creates a three-dimensional soundstage that fills the room, closely mimicking a cinematic environment. While the soundbar itself is a 2.1-channel system, the addition of optional EFFEKT 2 wireless rear speakers can expand it to a 4.1-channel setup, enhancing the surround sound effect. Connectivity options are robust, featuring HDMI (eARC) with 4K passthrough, Optical, AUX-in, and Bluetooth with AAC support, enabling seamless integration with various devices including smartphones, tablets, and PCs.
The Cinebar 11 offers versatile sound modes tailored to different listening scenarios, such as a night mode that reduces dynamics to avoid disturbing neighbors, and a dialogue enhancement mode for clearer speech. The soundbar’s design is both functional and aesthetic, featuring a refined metal grille, a bright VFD display with adjustable brightness, and touch-sensitive control buttons. Additionally, the Cinebar 11 can be wall-mounted, providing flexibility in installation to suit different living spaces.
Priced at €450, the Teufel Cinebar 11 is available in black and white finishes, catering to diverse interior styles. This latest iteration maintains the price point of its predecessor while introducing Dolby Atmos support, offering audiophiles a balanced combination of advanced audio technology and elegant design. Whether enhancing a home theater setup or serving as a sophisticated addition to a living room, the Cinebar 11 stands out as a compelling option in the competitive soundbar market.
