Proprietary metal-processing technology protects the wire's surface at every stage of drawing and fabrication. When high-purity low-oxide copper is kept as soft, pure, and smooth as possible, it becomes a wonderfully low-distortion conductor. In a conventional cable, electrical and magnetic interaction between strands is one of the greatest sources of distortion, often causing a somewhat harsh, dirty sound. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving a very clean, natural sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirection-Controlled Conductors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll drawn metal strands or conductors have a non-symmetrical, and therefore directional, grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise is drained away from where it will cause distortion. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. When applicable, arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality. For most models of AQ cable, the arrows not only indicate the direction that optimizes metal-directionality as part of Noise-Dissipation, but also indicates non-symmetrical attachment of shield and GND in order to optimize full-system performance. A fundamental aspect of AudioQuest's multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology, Direction-Controlled Conductors ensure induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal-Layer Noise-Dissipation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured radio-frequency interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation. Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise\/RF energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical \"reference\" ground plane, which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. Noise-Dissipation \"shields the shield,\" absorbing and reflecting most of this noise\/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHard-Cell Foam Insulation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is similar to the Foamed-PE used in our more affordable Bridges \u0026amp; Falls cables, and is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTriple-Balanced Geometry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur Triple-Balanced Geometry uses a separate ground-reference conductor, so the cable's shield is never used as an inferior conductor.

His other goal was to make products that would last a very long time. You can certainly tell Saul Marantz delivered on both of these as most of the early Marantz products from separates to stereo receivers command very high used prices, still work well, and have that natural Marantz sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/shop-by-brand\/marantz\"\u003eMarantz\u003c\/a\u003e is so serious about keeping that natural sound that they train engineers to be what they call a Sound Master.

These had a new faceplate with the classic Marantz porthole display front and center. The new Stereo 70S follows in this tradition with the same look as those great units but in a slimline chassis meaning it is only 4.1 inches tall. It now looks much more like a nice two-channel piece of gear with the omission of all the little buttons and knobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eWe think this is a big step up in design over the NR1200 unit the Stereo 70S replaces. And funny enough, it was 70 years ago, and 1953 when Saul Marantz founded the company so the name is very fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eMarantz has taken what was already a nice unit in the NR1200 and really upped the game from a video standpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe NR1200 came about as Marantz was observing a new type of music lover emerging who was primarily interested in good sound, but also wanted to have their TV in the same room as their stereo system. This new listener does not really care about surround sound but does want better audio from their TV experience and the best possible audio for the money with stereo listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eWith their history of making amazing sounding two-channel components and home theater products with some of the best features and sound on the market, they came up with the idea of combining those two technologies into a compact unit that had natural Marantz sound with some useful video switching plus convenience features and options usually only found in full-fledged surround AVRs. The NR1200 was the result and the Stereo 70S is an even better follow-up to its success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/High-Marantz-Stereo-70s-In-situ-Black-02.jpg\" alt=\"Marantz Stereo70s in black in a wooden console under television\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Stereo 70S is pretty compact in size at about 4 ½” tall, roughly 15” deep, and the standard audio component width of 17”. What is interesting, is it weighs more than a lot of 5 and 7-channel home theater receivers at 18.5 pounds, mostly due to the large power transformer which helps give it that warm, natural sound. Keeping the compact height while maintaining great sound was really important to their engineers as they wanted the Stereo 70S to be able to sit on top of a credenza and not look out of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eMarantz also does not mess around with the power ratings and tries to make you think it has more power than it really does. You’ll find it rated with both channels driven at .08% distortion across the full audio band of 20-20,000 hz at 75 watts per channel. Had they used the spec many brands use of just measuring at 1000 Hz and higher distortion, it would deliver 100 watts per channel. Its very beefy power amp section should be more than plenty for almost any speaker that would make sense to pair with the Stereo 70S, especially things like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/shop-by-brand\/bowers-wilkins?series=755\"\u003eBowers \u0026amp; Wilkens 600 serie\u003c\/a\u003es, which would make a great match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe elegant front panel looks similar to their latest releases with the look of carbon fiber on the sides and a raised section containing a few key controls. On the Stereo 70S you’ll get a larger input knob with smaller ones for a speaker selector for the two possible pairs, balance, bass, treble, and then another larger one for volume. The power button on the left is symmetrically placed with the dedicated ¼” headphone jack on the right. The Marantz porthole which gives you a view of what you are controlling is in the center. Ever since the early days of the classic Marantz integrated amps, their front panels have kept this great simple, but totally balanced look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eWhen we \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/6awZ-WDWGR0?si=RXGrGJm7tHG84KQg\"\u003etested the NR1200\u003c\/a\u003e back in 2019, we felt the volume knob was a little flimsy. Marantz must have listened as the Stereo 70S volume knob feels very solid and tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/STEREO_70s_U1B_Tone_Control.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of bass, treble and volume knobs on Marantz Stereo70s in black\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFrom a feature standpoint, the Stereo 70S is very similar to their better home theater receivers with just two-channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eYou’ll find 6 video inputs, 3 of which are capable of 8K, and one output which also serves as an Audio Return Channel connection for TVs that have this. New for this year is the ability to upscale any 1080P or 4K signal to 8K, which you can select in the very intuitive setup menu. Speaking of the menu, this is a good one. It has a wizard to walk you through everything which is nice, but if you take a deeper dive, it has great on-screen explanations for every single choice helping you get the best from your new Stereo 70S.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eAll of the video inputs support the formats you expect in a nice home theater receiver with HDR, HLG, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dynamic HDR. ALLM or Auto Low Latency is there too and it has a pass-through for gaming where you can select the pass-through input you desire in the setup menu. They all also support VRR or Variable Refresh Rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/High-Marantz_Stereo70s_b_U_StudioB.jpg\" alt=\"Marantz Studio 70s - back view\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe input setup menu is very flexible and allows you to select an analog or digital source to go along with your video signal for those of us who like to listen to the local announcer on the built-in FM tuner or included Tune In internet radio while we watch the national video feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eOn the audio side are 3 analog inputs, a coax and toslink digital input, and a USB A host input. Vinyl lovers will appreciate the nice moving magnet phono input. This uses the same phono preamp as their more expensive receivers have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe speaker connections are all gold plated with the ability to use either bare wire or banana plugs. These are a little nicer than you normally see in the price range and should allow you to torque down the bare wire pretty well and the bananas had a nice tight fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThere is a main preamp out and a zone two one which would let you add more power and\/or another amp to power a second zone. While the preamp outs are always active, in the menu, you can select a preamp only mode which disconnects the loudspeaker outputs thereby creating a lower distortion and higher max voltage out. This feature means customers can find a sensible upgrade path should they eventually desire more power or an even higher quality amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eYou’ll find a subwoofer one and subwoofer two connections on the rear, but bear in mind they are in parallel and not discrete. But for what is a two-channel receiver, you get far more control over the subwoofer than you do in most. You can select the crossover frequency in 10Hz increments up to 120hz, then it jumps in bigger steps. There are adjustments for the main speakers' distance and the sub, along with level controls for each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThere is also a neat feature called Smart Select on the remote with four buttons. These let you take 4 sources and do all kinds of configurations you can pull up with these buttons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFinally, the rear has wifi antenna connections, a Bluetooth antenna connection, an ethernet connection, and the normal Marantz control ports which let you talk to other Marantz products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eLike all Marantz products, their streaming Heos system is included. This will give you a world of access to many Hi-Res streaming music services. You also have Airplay 2 and Bluetooth. Voice control lovers will appreciate the updates this year with Google Assistant, Alexa, Siri, and Josh AI all being choices you could use. But we have to say, for basic listening, the remote control is pretty elegant too and easy to read and use. The remote includes a backlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/High-Marantz-Stereo-70s-In-situ-Black-10.jpg\" alt=\"Marantz Stereo70s in black on a shelf next to a speaker\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eAnother neat feature is a Marantz technology called M-DAX. This will improve the sound of low-res audio, which would come in very handy for Pandora streaming lovers. And you can easily defeat it for your true high-fidelity sources. It's also easy to put the Stereo 70S in different modes from the remote. The listening modes are “Stereo”, which will include M-DAX if it is on and the tone controls; “Direct” which will bypass M-DAX and the tone controls, and finally “Pure Direct” which turns off the display circuitry to give you that last bit of noise reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eOk, that is a lot of features, so now let's talk about what Marantz used to make this new receiver sound so good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe DAC’s inside the Stereo 70S can handle Hi-Res Audio up to 24\/192 and DSD up to 5.6 megahertz. The power amp portion is very similar to what they use in their more expensive audio-only integrated amps. The power amp section is a fully discrete Class A\/B design just like what you find in high-performance separate power amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eBut the real magic came in with the addition of HDAM. Marantz developed HDAM or High Dynamic Amplifier Modules back in 1992. They consist of fully discrete circuitry with hand-selected components to give you the quietest possible signal path in the preamp stage of their products. This is the first time HDAM has shown up in a Marantz slimline 2 channel receiver. Units we have heard with HDAM have an almost completely silent background which helps allow all of those tiny details in your music to come to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003ePerformance Testing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eWe connected the Stereo 70S up to a pair of Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins Anniversary Edition 606S2 on their dedicated stands and plugged in their entry-level but very good ASW608 subwoofer. We loved the way we could use the Marantz menu to really dial in the subwoofer just like on a nice home theater receiver. In our space, we wound up with the crossover set at 80hz, but it was great to be able to experiment quickly using the remote and a TV we had connected. It makes integrating a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/home-audio\/speakers\/subwoofers\"\u003esub\u003c\/a\u003e into a 2 channel system super simple. For those of you new to integrating subs, you might want to check out our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/home-theater-subwoofer-placement-options\"\u003evideo on how to integrate a subwoofer\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eWe then used Tidal with Heos to stream a few of our favorite test tracks, then we used a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/pro-ject-debut-carbon-evolution-turntable\"\u003ePro-Ject EVO turntable\u003c\/a\u003e to check out the phono preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eI have to say, this is one heck of a great-sounding unit for its cost. HDAM is just dead silent so your music seems to come from a completely black background with excellent imaging. With the sub engaged, we could rock out in our fairly large room with never a sense of strain. We did later try it without the sub and found the bass could get a little out of control if we really pushed it, but for what this unit is, it did a great job. We can’t expect it to sound like the bigger Marantz units that cost 2-3 times as much. And the best part is, even after our fairly long listening session, there was zero sense of strain. The Stereo 70S captures that pure and natural Marantz sound people have loved for 70 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/High-Marantz-Stereo-70s-In-situ-Black-01.jpg\" alt=\"Marantz Stereo70s in black on a bookshelf\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eOverall Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eMarantz has done a wonderful job of integrating a host of great features into a unit that can really hold its own in the two-channel world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIf you are someone with a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/home-audio\/speakers\/soundbars\"\u003esoundbar\u003c\/a\u003e or have a basic streaming speaker and are ready to move into the fun world of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/home-audio\/components\"\u003eseparate audio components\u003c\/a\u003e, the Marantz Stereo 70S and a modest pair of bookshelf speakers will blow your mind at how much better it sounds. You’ll have all of the video switching you need for TV viewing and have something that your vinyl friends will be very impressed with when they hear it on your turntable. It will look great, is easy to use, can grow with you, and sounds fantastic for its price. While you probably can find a pure analog only two-channel integrated amp at about this price that might sound better, you will not find anything we know of with all this nice connectivity that sounds this good.

In fact, our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/lX9RgznT8T4\"\u003eYouTube review\u003c\/a\u003e is one of the most watched videos on that soundbar in the world. JBL really pushed the boundaries of soundbar technology with the Bar 9.1, so we were excited to get their latest flagship, Bar 1300X, in our hands and put it to the test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eDetachable Surround Speakers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \n    \u003cp\u003eOne of the most distinctive features of the JBL Bar 1300X is its detachable surround speakers, similar to those first introduced on the JBL Bar 9.1. At Audio Advice, we love when audio engineers push the limits and test new ideas to bring more immersive sound into your home. The rechargeable detachable speakers were arguably one of the main reasons the Bar 9.1 was so wildly successful, and JBL brought them to another level on the Bar 1300X. Oh, and these new ones are rated to last up to 10 hours per charge! These can be placed on shelves behind you or speaker stands, or they even come with a mounting bracket to attach them to your walls if you wish.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n    \u003cp\u003eInstantly, you can feel the difference in weight between the 9.1 and 1300X wireless surrounds. These are about 70% heavier than the previous generation and are also slightly larger. Each surround speaker features one racetrack driver and ¾ inch tweeter facing forward, a 2.75” full-range driver and a passive radiator on the top, and another passive radiator on the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eOne standout feature that sets these speakers apart from their predecessors is the ability to charge them via USB-C, freeing you from the need to connect them back to your soundbar. Further adding to their convenience, each speaker has its own power button and can even be paired together without the soundbar. In fact, during our testing, we were able to take the surrounds outside, connect them together, and use Bluetooth to create a stunning stereo setup without needing the soundbar at all! This feature is undeniably cool as you essentially get a pair of wireless stereo speakers that you can take with you on the go or out to the backyard while you grill up some dinner. Alternatively, you can use only one and enjoy its impressive sound quality as a powerful portable Bluetooth speaker. And, if you wish to watch a movie on your laptop on the go, these speakers are Bluetooth 5.2 compatible, ensuring you don't have to worry about any audio syncing issues. This is in contrast to the soundbar itself, which is only Bluetooth 5.0 capable. Therefore, we recommend sticking with music only if you want to stream to the soundbar itself or using another streaming option for other content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003e1170 Watts of POWER\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis 11.1.4 soundbar boasts 1170 watts of total power which is enough to produce a powerful surround sound experience and really pull you into your movie. The soundbar itself, without the detachable speakers, has six racetrack drivers on the front, two as the left channel, two as the right channel, and two in the middle as the center channel. Five ¾ inch tweeters on the ends act as the wide left and right, two on the front left and right act as the surround left and right, and one dead center for the center channel. Finally, four 2.75” full-range drivers are on the left and right on the top of the soundbar, both angled slightly differently to help disperse the height sound effects. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/JBL-Bar-1300-Xray_Final.jpg\" alt=\"JBL Bar 1300x\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eDolby Atmos®, DTS:X, and MultiBeam™ Surround Sound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eAt Audio Advice, we believe the best way to experience Dolby Atmos or DTS:X sound is with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/home-audio\/speakers\/wall-ceiling-speakers?product_class=581\"\u003ededicated in-ceiling speakers\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/home-audio\/speakers\/wall-ceiling-speakers?product_class=629\"\u003eon-wall speakers\u003c\/a\u003e that are perfectly positioned within Dolby spec. To do this, you’ll need to cut holes in your ceiling, run wire through your walls, and set everything up correctly to have the best possible experience. Our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/home-theater-design\"\u003eHome Theater Design Tool\u003c\/a\u003e tool can give you a taste of what that looks like and how complex it could be for a beginner or someone with a small space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003cp\u003eThe next best way to experience one of these immersive formats is with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/home-audio\/speakers\/dolby-atmos-speakers?product_class=468\"\u003eup-firing speakers\u003c\/a\u003e. This is the exact technology used in the Bar 1300X, and it works by shooting sound up at an angle to your ceiling and then bouncing back down to your listening area. Now for this to be effective, you’ll need an 8 to 12-foot ceiling with nothing blocking the way of the soundwaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n  \u003cp\u003eJBL takes this tech one step further with the Bar 1300X and includes their proprietary MultiBeam surround sound technology. MultiBeam technology is a signal processing technique that uses digital algorithms to widen the soundstage and create a more immersive listening experience. It works by analyzing the incoming audio signal and intelligently distributing the sound to different drivers in the speaker, creating a more spacious and realistic soundstage. This technology is designed to enhance the listening experience, especially when watching movies, TV shows, or listening to music, by creating a 3D surround sound effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eJBL One App\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eWith the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/jbl-one\/id1610239857\"\u003eJBL One app\u003c\/a\u003e, you can conveniently customize EQ and manage all your compatible speakers from a single platform. The app allows for easy setup of the soundbar, personalization of settings, and seamless browsing of integrated music services to discover new favorite songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eSince every room is different, JBL engineers have spent countless hours designing algorithms to calibrate the Bar 1300X to sound the best for any room you place it in. Simply use the JBL One app and it will walk you through the steps and measure your room to optimize the sound. While you can adjust the sound using the app, we highly recommend using the Room EQ for the best performance. We believe this is one of the most important steps, and we love when processing is included. When we tested this feature in our testing lab, it proved to enhance the Dolby Atmos effects greatly and helped bring the Bar 1300X to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eAlexa, Google Assistant, \u0026amp; Siri\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWe see many people placing the Bar 1300X in a living room, bonus room, office, or even a bedroom. We love that it will support all your favorite voice assistants, and you can easily just ask for it to play your favorite song in the morning or ask what the weather will be like tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003ePureVoice Dialogue Enhancement Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThis technology utilizes advanced algorithms to enhance the clarity, richness, and depth of voices in real-time, ensuring that every word is delivered with stunning precision and accuracy. Whether you're listening to music, watching a movie, or participating in a conference call, JBL PureVoice Enhancement Technology guarantees that you'll hear every detail with unmatched clarity and fidelity. With this technology, JBL has set a new standard for audio quality and performance, making it a must-have for anyone who has difficulty hearing characters' voices in movies, even when the surround sound effects are at their peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eI\/O\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOn the back of the soundbar, you’ll find a standard C8 power input (cable included), a USB input that is capable of firmware updates or streaming MP3s from a USB drive, an ethernet input, three HDMI 2.1 inputs, one HDMI eARC section, and an optical input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003cp\u003eWith three HDMI inputs, you can easily plug your gaming console, Blu-ray player, and cable box directly into the soundbar and have one single HDMI cable from the eARC connection to your TV and control the volume with your TV remote. You’ll be able to enjoy 4K\/120 fps content with uncompressed Dolby Atmos, HDR, and Dolby Vision passthrough. We love the ease of use of being able to plug in the latest-gen Xbox or PS5 and enjoy 4K content at 120 fps. Once you experience high frame rates in 4K resolution while gaming, you will never want to go back!

The subwoofer can handle the low-frequency sounds, freeing up the soundbar to focus on delivering effortless, clear mids and highs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eJBL has included a 12-inch subwoofer that is just full of power. And the best part of it? It’s wireless! You only need an outlet nearby, so you won’t have to worry about running a wire from your soundbar to your sub. Many people may end up just placing the subwoofer on the floor next to the soundbar location, but we’d recommend you take it one step further if possible. There are many techniques for finding the best position for your sub, depending on your room dimensions. \u003ca href=\"#performance\"\u003eCheck out our performance section to find our thoughts on the 12 inch sub during our testing\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eTo learn more about subwoofer placement and calibration, check out our in-depth guides here:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\" class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/home-theater-subwoofer-placement-options\"\u003eSubwoofer Placement \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_half col_last\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/how-to-setup-calibrate-subwoofer\"\u003eSubwoofer Calibration\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eWi-Fi with AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music, and Chromecast\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eYou can access more than 300 online music streaming services via AirPlay, Alexa MRM, and Chromecast built-in™.

The soundbar is made of high-quality materials, giving it a sturdy and durable feel. The front of the soundbar is covered with a metal grille, giving it a clean and stylish look. The JBL logo is emblazoned on the grille, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eIn addition to the impressive design, the JBL Bar 1300X also has excellent build quality. The soundbar is solidly constructed, with no flimsy parts or creaking when handled. The detachable speakers also feel robust and well-made with strong magnets, so there is no wobbling or instability when attached. There is a cutout on the back to show all the I\/O options, and on the top, there are buttons for input selection and volume control. The rest of the controls live in the small remote that is included. On the front behind the grille is a LED display that will tell you your volume level, power state, and source selection.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n    \u003cp\u003eThe remote has some nice quick access buttons, such as a button with a heart shape on it that you can set to instantly play your favorite song. JBL calls this their new “My Moment” button. A button to control the output of the rear speakers, a button to control the bass output, and a button to change the Dolby Atmos effects from low, medium, or high, depending on how loud you want them to be. In addition, it has a power button, mute button, TV button, Bluetooth button, HDMI source button, play button, and a quick access calibration button. In our testing, we only used the remote to change and try out the different settings, but once we had it set up to our liking, we used the TV remote pretty much exclusively.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n    \u003cp\u003eWhen you detach the surround speakers, you’re left with ends that don’t look as polished and clean as the rest of the bar. JBL has included some end caps that you can easily pop on to complete the look and cover up the ends, and we think this addition is much needed. It was one of the few complaints we had when reviewing Bar 9.1. The included subwoofer is very sleek looking with its brushed metal-like design and only a small JBL logo on the top. When you flip it over, you’ll see its rubber feet that isolate it from the floor and its exposed 12-inch down-firing woofer.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n    \u003cp\u003eOverall, the build quality and design of this soundbar reflect its price tag and premium nature.

Recently, we released our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/best-soundbars\"\u003efavorite Dolby Atmos soundbars list\u003c\/a\u003e, but that was before we had the opportunity to test the Bar 1300X. After putting it through its paces, we can confidently say that it deserves a place on that list and would recommend it over the Bar 9.1 any day. Let's dive into how we set it up and what we heard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003cp\u003eWe understand that not everyone has the perfect room, which is why the Bar 1300X is a great fit for those who need flexibility with rear speakers that can be removed when not in use. To see how it would perform in a real-world environment, we set it up in a generously sized bedroom measuring approximately 14 feet wide by 18 feet deep, providing a thorough test for this soundbar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003cp\u003eThe soundbar, complete with detachable surrounds, measures about 54 inches in length, which was slightly larger than the dresser it was placed on, but once we removed the detachable sides and put on the endcaps, it fit perfectly at around 40 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n    \u003cp\u003eWe connected the soundbar to a 75-inch Sony TV via its eARC HDMI port and ran an XBOX Series X and Apple TV 4K directly into the back of the soundbar to act as an HDMI switcher. However, we typically recommend people plug their gaming consoles directly into their TV to minimize any lag. But if you wish, using the 3 HDMI ports on the back of the soundbar will eliminate the need to connect anything else to the back of the TV. Using the JBL One app, we calibrated the soundbar with the detachable surrounds on it, then moved them to the listening position and where they would be as rears (in our case, on the nightstands). From there, we checked for updates, accessed the EQ, used the app as a remote, set up the My Moment feature, and adjusted the detachable speaker volume. If your audio doesn’t match up with your video, JBL gives you the option in the app to adjust the audio delay time up to 250 ms to match your video perfectly. Having this feature on a soundbar is a really nice touch!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eAfter calibrating the soundbar, we carefully placed the detachable surrounds on the nightstands, ready to enhance the movie watching experience. We eagerly put on two films that never fail to test the sound quality of any system: The Irishman and Captain Phillips. In The Irishman, a scene featuring four characters conversing in a car immediately showcased the depth and naturalness of their voices. Meanwhile, in Captain Phillips, the chaos of a ship under attack led to a barrage of gunfire and other noises, typically causing Tom Hanks voice to get lost in the mix with other low-end sounds. However, JBL's 12-inch subwoofer expertly handled the bass, leaving his dialog very easy to understand. The PureVoice technology used in the soundbar proved impressive, but it lacked any adjustment options, leaving us to assume that it was working properly. We only wish there were an option to turn it on or off or adjust its settings to our preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eNext, we cued up The Adams Project, which boasts an epic fight sequence with immersive height and surround sound effects. With the detachable rears positioned behind us, the difference was immediately palpable - we were fully absorbed in the scene as if the atmos effects were bouncing off the ceiling and enveloping the entire listening area. The sound of a passing ship overhead was especially impressive, as we could hear it approach before it even came into view. The bass rumbled the room and was fast and tight with massive power. We were thoroughly impressed with the overall performance during any action movie we tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eUsing the remote, we also experimented with adjusting the Atmos effects and bass levels. In the end, we left the bass at its lowest setting (1-5) and the Atmos at the mid-level (out of low, mid, high), although we appreciated the ease with which we could tweak them depending on the content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eAfterward, we repurposed the detachable surrounds as a pair of stereo Bluetooth speakers to use outside. This nifty new feature is a game-changer, as it effectively gives you two portable Bluetooth speakers bundled with your soundbar. The sound quality held up well in a small outdoor area and even proved impressive when connected to our laptop for some casual YouTube watching. While not the strongest in terms of bass, they certainly got the job done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eOverall, we are happy to place the Bar 1300X on our recommended list as one of the best Dolby Atmos soundbars available today. The surround sound feature and versatility set it apart from its competitors. We recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their home theater experience that may not have the perfect room and needs the flexibility of detachable surrounds.\u003c\/p\u003e     \n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC05484.jpg\" alt=\"JBL Bar1330x\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eOverall Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eWhile not quite the same immersion as a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/home-theater-design\"\u003efull home theater installation\u003c\/a\u003e with separate speakers all around the room, Atmos-enabled soundbars with upward-firing speakers built in \u0026amp; a wireless subwoofer is a fantastic way to experience \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/what-is-dolby-atmos\"\u003eDolby Atmos\u003c\/a\u003e in a living room or any bedroom.

IMAX enhanced uses DTS which can adapt to various speaker layouts. The great news is, no matter how that new movie was mastered or that classic one was remastered, the AVM90 has you totally covered no matter how the soundtrack was produced. And for those of you using a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/home-theater\/televisions\"\u003eTV\u003c\/a\u003e capable of Dolby Vision, you will be pleased to know the AVM 90 supports Dolby Vision as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/51856173078_eb9ee18ca3_k.jpg\" alt=\"Anthem AVM90\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003e8K Ready\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AVM90 comes with HDMI 2.1 full 8K video capabilities built-in.

There’s a range of adjustment from 0-500ms, which is very wide compared to some other products.

All you have to do is look up the IP address of your processor, (which you can find by selecting the network display) then you have full access to every single part of the setup right from your laptop! This also means you can sit in your primary listening position and quickly fine-tune the settings to really dial in the audio if you wish. For those of you who have your processor in a rack that does not have easy line of sight from your primary listening position, being able to make adjustments wirelessly from laptop is a huge benefit versus most systems that require a direct connection to the processor for calibration and setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/51856419854_c109258fa7_k.jpg\" alt=\"Anthem AVM90\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eAnthem Room Correction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/anthem-room-correction-genesis-overview\"\u003eARC Genesis\u003c\/a\u003e is one big reason we love Anthem gear. The room correction they developed called ARC is simply one of the best on the market. The room itself has a tremendous impact on the ultimate sound of your system. The problem is every room will cause certain frequencies to be too loud and others to be canceled out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnthem Room Correction takes measurements of the room and smooths out the response. We have been beta testing the new version launching concurrently with the AVM90 and really love its ease of use and new capabilities. It adds even more great features to better phase align subwoofers to main speakers plus sets distances and levels. The result is extremely impressive. In room correction, the quality of the microphone has a big effect on the end result. The AVM90 comes with the same improved microphone as the AVM70. They even designed the microphone to be directional so the dot on the front faces forward just like a moviewatcher faces forward in theater seats. The end result is an even better calibration. The new microphone is a step up from the prior one, looks much beefier, and has a little indicator you will need to point exactly towards the front of the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are most excited about the tech Anthem is using in the new version of ARC Genesis to blend the subwoofers with your speakers. It is pretty easy to use a tape measure to get the distances correct on your main speakers, but nailing subwoofer blending has been a task that can take some work. Most subs add some delay through their built-in digital signal processing and it was a bit of trial and error in the past to get them aligned properly. It makes such a massive difference in the sound that we have made a video just on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/how-to-set-up-a-subwoofer\"\u003ehow to calibrate multiple subs together\u003c\/a\u003e. ARC Genesis now makes this simple and takes it a step further by looking at the phase response of both your main speakers and your subs to time-align them into one cohesive unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/imac-illustration-1-1536x970-1.jpg\" alt=\"Anthem Room Correction\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorically, if you wanted more than 2 independent sub outs, you were spending over $20,000 on a processor. The AVM90 has it. This enables your combined sub output to be phase aligned such that you get the best response curve across your seating positions. We can tell you from experience, watching a movie or concert using a system with 4 fine tuned high performance subwoofers is like nothing you have heard before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our testing, we connected four subs independently to the AVM90. Once we had everything else connected and ARC Genesis run, our jaws dropped at how much time it saves and how great the bass impact is in the room across all key listening positions. We did find that if you want to go true audiophile-level, you may want to tweak the room gain and deep bass after ARC has run, but we walk you through that in the ARC Genesis Tips \u0026amp; Tricks video.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd speaking of subwoofers, ARC Genesis gives you the option to run your main speakers’ full range and send bass to a subwoofer at the same time for those audiophiles who prefer their left and right speakers to just roll off naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother thing we like about ARC is the fact it has 4 presets. This means you could set up one room correction for the best sound at your own favorite seat. You could do another that optimized across 2-4 seats for date nights, another for a room full of guests, and another for late-night listening with your subwoofers turned down or off. And along with these 4 ARC presets, they also have full adjustments for level, crossover, and distance for each one. For those of you who geek out on getting the most from your system, this literally has it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/51855133032_88a6b8d071_k.jpg\" alt=\"Anthem AVM90\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eAudiophile Level DAC's\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the AVM90, Anthem uses very high-end audiophile-level DAC's that work at 32bit\/768kHz. This is one of the improvements that came from the delay in the initial shipments of the AVM90. The Anthem engineers had more time to evaluate all of the best DAC’s available. We’ll digress a bit here, but one of our all-time favorite surround sound processors from a pure audio standpoint was the Classe SSP800. It just sounded like a high-end piece of two-channel gear. Interestingly enough, a few of the team at Anthem used to be associated with Classe and had their own personal SSP800’s to compare the test samples they made when developing the revised AVM90. They totally nailed the audio in the AVM90, it sounds much better than our old SSP800 for pure two-channel audio, which is saying a lot. With the AVM90 your sound will be smoother and sweeter with deeper bass extension and a more effortless presentation. If you are considering either the AVM70 or 90 and plan to use your home theater for music listening, you will definitely appreciate the great DAC’s in both of these units, but the AVM90 is a substantial jump up in audio quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eOverall Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/videos-reviews\/anthem-avm-home-theater-processors-review\"\u003eAnthem processors\u003c\/a\u003e have always done a fantastic job at spatial imaging. They can locate effects in precise positions with special effects panning across or around the room sounding totally natural. With the better DAC’s and improved power supplies the AVM90 got even better. In our listening test, it could float effects with pinpoint accuracy all over the home theater soundfield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI know a lot of you watching this are probably considering both the AVM70 and AVM90.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe question comes down to whether the AVM90 is worth the additional cost for your situation than the AVM70? Honestly, for most people, the AVM70 will be a perfect fit and offer excellent sound and spatial imaging in a great home theater. But, if you have the budget and want to get the very best sound and movie experience you will love the AVM90. Now that Apple, Tidal, and Amazon all have Atmos music, the music experience in an Atmos-enabled theater is unparalleled and is only getting better as new music is mastered in Atmos.

They come from a company known for their uber high end audiophile headphones and add noise canceling and wireless along with their great sound and fantastic design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Focal Bathys\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC05068.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocal is headquartered in France and has been around more than 40 years. Focal makes very high end audiophile products from headphones that cost $5,000 to speakers that sell for $250,000. Any company that plays in the stratosphere of ultra high performance like Focal needs a superb team of engineers who are all driven to design the best sounding products possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd, when you create products in the extreme high end category, the engineers usually find a way to bring some of the great tech they discover into their much more affordable products. That is exactly the case with the new Bathys wireless headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo what makes these so special? First, they are terrific travel headphones that are a step above the normal Sony and Bose models you will see people wearing on planes. Second, they double as terrific sounding home and office headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Build Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo what is with the name Bathys? It was inspired from the word bathyscaphe, which is a small submersible vessel used for deep sea dives. When you are down that deep, \u003cstrong\u003ethere is nothing but silence and calm, which is how Focal feels your experience will be when wearing these headphones.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have seen any of the other \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/headphones-portables\/headphones?brand=231\"\u003ehigh performance Focal headphones\u003c\/a\u003e you know they have a very distinctive look, which Focal carried forward with the new Bathys. They have that great curved design with the perforated aluminum back where the perforations get tighter in their pattern pushing the Focal logo towards the front. It just looks super cool. But there is a side benefit to this look — with most headphones, you have to go find the R or L to know which way to put them on. With the Bathys, you just put the logo side towards the front and don’t even have to look for the R or L, pretty cool! When you look around the airport lounge, you see lots of people with standard black travel headphones. Not these. They not only sound better, but they look the part — just like a supercar standing out in a parking lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Focal Bathys\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_3200.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe materials used in the Bathys are mostly aluminum, leather, and magnesium, with the only colors being black and a silver gray.\u003c\/strong\u003e Focal’s higher end headphones, like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/focal-clear-mg-over-ear-headphones\"\u003eClear MG Open-Back Over-Ear Headphones\u003c\/a\u003e, for example, are known not only for amazing sound, but a level of comfort that exceeds other brands. We have always thought their headphones were super easy to wear. This was even more important for them with the Bathys with the travel use case. These weigh only 12 ¾ ounces which is very light for a headphone of this quality level. A lot of noise cancelling headphones like Sony and Bose are more on ear than over ear, which can reduce the long term comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bathys have very deep and wide earcups, making them a great fit for everyone. \u003cstrong\u003eThe pads themselves are ⅞” thick and almost ¾” wide.\u003c\/strong\u003e There is then a gap of about ¼” between them and the soft cover for the driver giving room for people with larger ears. \u003cstrong\u003eThe opening for your ear is also much bigger than a Sony or Bose at roughly 2 5\/8” tall and about 1 ¾” wide.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire surface of the cups are real soft leather over a very nicely squishy memory foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headband is also covered in soft leather over memory foam that is ¾” thick where it touches the top of your head. The magnesium yokes adjust quite freely and were really easy to get a comfortable fit. Like most good headphones, the adjustments in or out on the headband click in place in small increments to make it easy to fine tune them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe wore them for several hours, and \u003cstrong\u003eeven after a long time, we did not experience much heat build up or any discomfort,\u003c\/strong\u003e which is exactly what we would expect from Focal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Focal Bathys Earcups\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_3199.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking at the features you can access from the headphones, \u003cstrong\u003ethe right earcup has the button you press to initially connect bluetooth, volume\/mute, the on\/off or DAC switch, a smart assistant for Google or Alexa button, a USB charging and DAC connection, and an analog cable connection.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Clear Voice Capture mic is also on the right facing towards the front. The left side has one button which controls the way noise canceling operates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headphones come nicely packaged and include an ergonomic travel case that is somewhat hard and covered in what feels like a wool material that is light gray. A 1 meter USB C cable and ⅛” analog cable are included with the headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemarkably, these \u003cstrong\u003ecan play for 30 hours using both Bluetooth and active noise cancelling without a charge and only take 90 minutes to fully charge.\u003c\/strong\u003e There is even a \u003cstrong\u003equick charge mode that gives you 5 hours of life in 15 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e which is great when you are sitting in the terminal thinking, oh no, I forgot to charge my headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOk so far, these might sound like a really nicely made pair of very comfortable headphones you can use at home or on the road. Let's look at what impressed us so much.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocal wanted the Bluetooth aspect of these to deliver the best audio, so they chose \u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth 5.1 technology that works with SBC, AAC, Apt-X™ and Apt-X™ Adaptive codecs\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is a great choice on their part. It supports high-definition audio up to 48 kHz sampling rates and sample resolutions up to 24 bits. We see some headphones that do not go the Apt-X route, which makes no sense to us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocal has been perfecting their \u003cstrong\u003eproprietary ‘M’-shaped dome driver\u003c\/strong\u003e for years. It is made in France from a combination of magnesium and aluminum. A version of this is used in all of their top end headphones. The Bathys gets a new version of this same driver designed to be \u003cstrong\u003elighter for portable use\u003c\/strong\u003e. You get that same great dynamic sound that can reveal the tiniest detail, yet has that classic Focal warmth that makes their headphones so easy to listen to for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocal also has an app for the Bathys that lets you perform basic equalization and even save eq curves if you want to. The app lets you switch between noise canceling modes and turn the lights on, off, or dim on the earcups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Focal Bathys\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/HD-FOCAL-2375.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eFocal Bathys Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis driver gives these headphones a big leg up on the competition and enables them to sound like a wonderful pair of static headphones, yet offer both bluetooth and noise cancelling.\u003c\/strong\u003e And let us tell you, they sound fantastic. We were playing some of our favorite test tracks that have very small details hidden in the background that most \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/headphones-portables\/headphone-features\/wireless-headphones\"\u003etravel headphones\u003c\/a\u003e just completely gloss over. On every single one, we could clearly hear the little details totally separated from the other instruments and that was using Bluetooth!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real magic happens when you use the USB connection. This would generally be used for home or office use, but you simply slide the little switch to DAC On and this engages a great DAC that is inside the headphones. Yes, \u003cstrong\u003ethe Bathys includes a USB-DAC that can handle up to 24\/192k\u003c\/strong\u003e. Standalone headphone DAC amplifiers like this can cost upwards of $500 by themselves. We tested this on a Mac Studio. This bypasses the inexpensive Digital to Analog converter in the Mac and instead uses the superior DAC in the headphones. This also engages the small amplifier inside the headphones instead of driving them passively with the Mac. The difference was fantastic. We played several tracks including the now famous \u003cem\u003eMaverick: Top Gun\u003c\/em\u003e album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"100\" width=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.qobuz.com\/album\/au0q0ax1ytvta?lang=en\u0026amp;zone=us-en\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe separation of the instruments in the “Top Gun Anthem” track is incredible using the DAC. We found ourselves wanting to just listen to more and more music with the DAC engaged. As you would expect, \u003cstrong\u003ethe entire soundstage opened up and they could deliver the full symphonic dynamics without any strain\u003c\/strong\u003e. So with these headphones, whenever you are in the mood for higher performance listening, you just switch over to using the USB DAC. And that’s not it. Let’s say you just keep getting into your music and want to push these headphones to an even higher level. Well they have a mini headphone jack that you can connect to a high performance standalone headphone DAC\/amplifier. We tested them with a high end desktop headphone amp and they stepped up even more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe were also very impressed with the way they set up the noise cancelling. A small button on the left cup will turn this on or off, but the on mode has two settings. You \u003cstrong\u003epress the button quickly to select on or off, but if you hold it down for two seconds when noise canceling is turned on, you can switch between silent mode and soft mode\u003c\/strong\u003e. Silent mode will be great for travel completely block out external noise, while soft mode lets you hear a bit more of what is going on around you. We found we liked soft mode when we used Bluetooth at home. The off position is what Focal calls Transparent mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese will also be great for office use. Since they are closed back headphones, very little sound escapes, so you will not be disturbing your neighbors at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Focal Bathys\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC05065.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eOverall Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll and all, these headphones are a killer triple play. They are the best sounding portable headphones we have heard to date, you can use them at home in USB DAC mode for audio that gets you darn close to the Focal Clear MG that costs almost 3 times as much, and you can use them at work in either of the noise canceling modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have to hand it to Focal, their first attempt at a high performance, wireless, noise cancelling headphone is a huge success.

Make this selection with the dial for 7″ records (45rpm singles) or 12″ (33 or 45rpm vinyl records). For additional flexibility, they’ve added 78rpm to the speed selector dial, allowing you to dust off your collection of old 10″ shellac records (please manually position the tonearm for 10″ 78s, then use the dampened cueing lever).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRemember that 78s have unusual groove width and are made of different materials than most other discs. They recommend Sumiko’s RS 78 stylus for use with the highly adept Sumiko Rainier moving magnet phono cartridge (it’s mounted \u0026amp; aligned at the factory!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo enjoy listening to your A2 turntable, just flip the ‘Start’ switch. The tonearm will automatically move to the lead-in groove of the selected record size. Once playing, the automatic tonearm functions are entirely disengaged until the arm reaches the lead-out groove. At the lead-out groove, the tonearm will automatically lift and return to the arm rest and the turntable will shut down. Because the automatic functions are entirely mechanical, they bear no influence over sound quality during playback!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eImproved Tonearm \u0026amp; Gimbal Bearing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A2 automatic record player features an ultra-low-mass 8.3″ aluminum tonearm. They use an arm tube with a larger diameter to accommodate more cartridges. They proudly supply the A2 with a Sumiko Rainier ($149 value), which positions you to upgrade to Olympia, Moonstone, or Wellfleet with a simple stylus swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe suspended sub-chassis design yields a fast response loaded with transient detail and alluring micro-dynamics while the Sumiko Rainier lends its warmth \u0026amp; smoothness - a match made in heaven. The tonearm bearing features a 4-pinpoint gimbal with steel-tip ball bearings made in-house by Pro-Ject. This design yields the lowest amount of friction possible and A2 will trace your record grooves with the utmost precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eHeavy MDF Plinth, Floating Sub-Chassis\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heavy MDF plinth is carefully hand-painted in a luxurious 8-coat matte black finish. Its mass greatly reduces unwanted resonance and isolates the turntable from external vibration. The A2 then employs a system wherein the tonearm, platter bearing, and motor are affixed to a separate, floating sub-chassis. This isolates the most critical components of the turntable from external noise, resonance \u0026amp; interference. This can be especially advantageous when, for example, your loudspeakers are near your turntable in proximity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eMassless Tracking Force Adjustment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDamping the counterweight makes the tonearm as a whole more robust. It also decouples the counterweight from the tonearm which reduces resonant frequencies. Tracking force is set by adjusting a precision spring (as from the wristwatch industry!) affixed to the tonearm bearing. This keeps the center of gravity directly above the bearing center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eWhy a Suspended Sub-Chassis Design?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe automatic mechanism is sizable and comprised of many parts. Thus it requires a substantial cutout from the main plinth. Enclosed hollow spaces in turntables are cavernous propagators of vibration \u0026amp; resonance. By employing a suspended sub-chassis, Pro-Ject decouples the tonearm, cartridge, and drive mechanism from the solid, high-mass main chassis, eliminating hollow spaces and their adverse effects on sound quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eHandmade in Germany\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA2’s automatic mechanism is fully handmade in Germany and builds on decades worth of experience in the manufacturing of turntables.
