Yamaha Audio SR-C30A Compact Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer and Bluetooth, Black

Impressive sound with good connectivity. The subwoofer is essential.
I needed a soundbar for my new home office, as my monitor does not have built in speakers. Standard speakers would not work for my situation, as desk space is already limited and I opted for a pretty large 32″ monitor, hence my exhaustive search for a suitable soundbar to fit in the space underneath the monitor.After much online research, reading reviews, visiting the local big box stores for in-store listening etc, I pulled the trigger on this soundbar/ subwoofer combo. I could not be happier that I did. Now, Yamaha does not need this review or my support- they are doing just fine without me. But I am so impressed by the sound at this price-point that I felt compelled to leave a few words. I am 100% happy I purchased this. I had listened to the similar, smaller SR-C20A (in a store) and was somewhat underwhelmed despite all the positive online reviews. However, I realized that many of the other YouTube and online reviews are comparing that soundbar against others which are similarly priced (and so they probably sound even worse). Therefore, I guessed that getting a similar speaker to the SR C-20A by the same manufacturer, but with a SUBWOOFER would make a huge difference, and I was right. The sound of the SR-C30A is full, balanced, and does not perceptively distort at louder levels (and the system does get loud). Music is detailed and rich with good depth, and the sub provides as much bass as you could need, and realistically ask from this type of system. The soundbar with the sub disconnected sounds thin and uninspired, but with the sub connected is amazing (and I only have it turned up to a very low level to add a bit of depth).The biggest downside is that (at least at the time of my purchase) there was quite a leap up in price from the SR-C20a to the SR-C30a with the subwoofer. However, I feel that having a good sub is essential for any quality music or movie listening, and I could not be happier that I shelled out the extra cash for the SR-C30A. The only other faults I can find are that the “remote control experience” feels very basic, and that there is no adjustable equalizer (both of which I expected and neither of which I can complain about for a system of this price). I would easily buy this soundbar system again if I needed to, and recommend it to others who are in the need for one. I am completely satisfied with my purchase.

Awesome Sub. Small Sound Bar Fits my TV but Quality Suffers for Music. EZ Fix.
I ordered this sound bar specifically for its small size to fit between the legs of my 42 inch TCL TV.As a sound bar for movies, I give the SR-C30A 5 stars. Dialogue is great on the bar speaker and the sub is phenomenal for the price. You hear this sub with your ears and bones. It is tight, punchy, responsive, and produces immersive base. This is a 5 star sub matched to a 3 star sound bar. I would not recommend purchasing the sound bar without the subwoofer.The remote is simple to use, Bluetooth works well, and the sub connects quickly. There is no on-off switch for the sub so it must have an automatic stand by mode. There is an app that is basically a copy of the remote. The sound bar can get very loud without distortion.My main complaint is that when listening to music (especially guitar or piano) the lack of a solid midrange is noticeable. There is an obvious ‘quality’ frequency gap between the sub and bar speakers. When the sub is not involved, there is no immersive feeling due to the size of the sound bar. Turning clear voice on and switching to ‘standard’ on the remote settings helped. If you listen to bass heavy music, you will not have this problem.This sound bar is also highly sensitive to the original quality of the audio recording. ‘Bootleg’ live recordings lack depth. The system does a good job of sounding rich at low volume levels for high quality audio.I frequently use the 3.5mm input jack with a portable mp3 player when not using my computer -to- TV -to- sound bar connection. This makes for a quick and energy efficient listening experience. The quality is virtually indistinguishable from an optical input.My solution to the lack of midrange for music was to add a splitter and a self powered monitor speaker. There is no delay using the splitter and I have tested two separate self powered speakers. Now the system is nearly perfect for my needs at a fairly low cost for the quality of sound, small size, and convenience. The system is used in a 15 x 16 foot bedroom.I have been tinkering with car, home, and instrument audio builds for over 25 years.

excelente equipo! sonido de lo mejor si lo colocas de la forma correcta es tal cual en el cine

Bon produit très bonne basse . Le volume maximum n’est pas fort mais aucune distorsion même le volume au bout.Super barre de son je la recommande. Les basse son très bonne et la barre en elle-même a une sonorité incroyable. C’est sur c’est du YAMAHA

Los bajos son buenos, solo hay que equilibrar bien los bajos y los medios, para poder disfrutar!Lo que no me gustó es la conexión del subwoofer, ocasionalmente se desconecta del la barra!Esto puede ser por la ubicación!
