The  simplest  and  least  costly  remedy  to  the  thin,  harsh  sound  that  commits  such  injustice  to  the  stunning  picture  quality  of  contemporary  tellies  is  to  add  a  soundbar;  choose  a  good  one  and  you  will  enjoy  richer,  clearer,  more  powerful  sound,  greatly  enhancing  the  viewing  experience.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWharfedaleȇs  new  Vista  200  stereo  soundbar  is  an  ideal  affordable  solution,  delivering  a  major  sonic  upgrade  despite  its  low-profile  design  and  thoroughly  modest  £150  price  tag.  90cm  in  length  and  just  6.2cm  high,  its  long  and  slender  form  sits  unobtrusively  beneath  the  screen  without  spoiling  even  the  most  stylish  TV  aesthetic.  Whether  placed  on  a  TV  stand  or  mounted  on  a  wall  using  the  supplied  bracket,  its  smart,  gloss-black  finish  always  looks  the  part.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \n\nNestling  behind  the  metal  speaker  grille  is  a  pair  of  high-quality  dynamic  driver  assemblies,  positioned  at  either  end  of  the  soundbarȇs  length  to  ensure  spacious  stereo  sound  and  augmented  by  two  reflex  ports  to  aid  bass  response.  These  drivers  are  powered  by  2x30W  stereo  amplification,  producing  a  sound  that  is  crisply  detailed  yet  tonally  rich  –a  powerful,  highly  intelligible  delivery  that  ensures  voices  are  clear,  sound  effects  are  impactful  and  music  is  full-bodied  and  engaging.  In  addition,  three  2  equaliser  settings  labelled  ȆMovieȇ,  ȆMusicȇ  and  ȆNewsȇ  provide  a  degree  of  sonic  tailoring  to  suit  whatever  the  user  is  watching  or  listening  to. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \n\nConnecting  the  Vista  200  to  a  TV  is  simple.  There  are  three  digital  inputs:  HDMI  (ARC),  optical  and  coaxial.  There  is  also  a  3.5mm  analogue  input,  which  means  you  can  connect  a  TV  (or  an  audio  device)  via  an  RCA  or  headphone  output. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \n\nThe  Vista  200  also  has  Bluetooth  built  in,  enabling  users  to  pair  devices  like  smartphones,  tablets  and  laptops  and  benefit  from  the  soundbarȇs  rich,  room-filling  sound  when  streaming  music  or  watching  video  content.  In  addition,  if  your  TV  supports  Bluetooth  you  can  connect  it  to  the  soundbar  wirelessly  rather  than  using  a  cable,  if  you  so  desire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \n\nThe  Vista  200  comes  supplied  with  its  own  remote  control,  which  covers  all  functions.  For  added  convenience,  those  connecting  the  TV  via  HDMI  (ARC)  can  use  their  TVȇs  remote  control  to  adjust  volume  (assuming  the  TV  is  HMDI-CEC  compliant).  When  connected  in  this  way,  the  soundbar  also  powers  up  or  down  automatically  when  the  TV  is  switched  on  or  off.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \n\nBut  wait,  thereȇs  more!  While  the  Vista  200  soundbar  is  available  from  mid-August,  a  second  option  –the  Vista  200S  –  will  join  it  this  autumn.  The  Vista  200S  bundles  the  same  Vista  200  soundbar  with  a  compact,  slimline  active  subwoofer.  Measuring  90x7x9.5cm  (WxHxD),  it  packs  in  a  165mm  driver  and  60W  amplification,  delivering  deep,  punchy  bass  to  augment  the  soundbar  and  ensure  an  even  more  powerful,  room-filling  performance.  The  subwoofer  connects  to  the  soundbar  wirelessly,  so  no  trailing  cables  to  worry  about,  and  bass  levels  can  be  adjusted  via  the  supplied  remote  control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n•\tBluetooth\u003cbr\u003e \n•\tHDMI (ARC)\u003cbr\u003e \n•\t1 x Optical digital input \u003cbr\u003e\n•\t1 x Coaxial digital input \u003cbr\u003e\n•\t3 EQ settings \u003cbr\u003e\n•\tRemote control \u003cbr\u003e\n•\t60 Watt amplification \u003cbr\u003e\n•\t900mm x 70mm x 95mm (WxHxD)","brand":"Wharfedale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57414514377036,"sku":"WHARFEDALEVISTA200","price":124.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/files\/Wharfedale-Vista-200.jpg?v=1777549128","url":"https:\/\/www.stoneaudio.co.uk\/products\/wharfedale-vista-200-sound-bar","provider":"Stone Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
