hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room consuming my review of some bars on the channel we're going to take a look at the clips our SB 14 this is the flagship model with all the bells and whistles in clip choose Wireless multi-room line up this package comes with the sambar and wireless subwoofer and it retails for six hundred and ninety nine dollars at the time this video as always I'll place my links in the video description below click on those links and they'll give you the most updated prices in real time you never know when these things might go on sale so sit back relax as I'm here to help you make that purchase decision welcome everyone to jim's review governor of the physical features making sure this fits your entertainment center the RSB 14 is 44 inches wide and 4 inches tall the TV I have and I'm aware some will say it's small I'm trying to save up my money for a really nice one down the road here at 55 inches for your reference now cliff is stating the sandbar is perfect for TVs 50 inches and bigger the top and rear is made of black plastic the front is all aluminum and looks absolutely amazing and very manly with the dark theme of my studio space aesthetically it definitely goes with the Jim's review look the wireless subwoofer also looks badass with a brushed aluminum like veneer and feel and on the left of that cabinets there's the side firing 8 inch woofer which I'll detail how it performs in the audio test shortly but getting back to the sound bar all of your buns are on the fronts of course the supply control is much more convenient to use but one thing I found completely lacking is a via meter adjusting volume levels up and down I honestly don't know where I am and how much higher I can still go I thought it wasn't a big deal but while testing I do miss that convenience rotating to the back you can wall mount the speaker if you'd like a mounting template is provided in the box however screws are not provided there are ample amounts of connections with both analog and digital sources such as the three-and-a-half millimeter input and also the optical in besides the physical connections for your blu-ray Xbox Playstation etc you do have bluetooth it works from 60 to 70 linear feet away from my smart phone during my testing I also link this with my laptop which makes it convenient when I'm working at my desk and I want music to play from the other end of the office here either or signal story from testing has been find now one of the biggest selling features and why you would go with this lineup the RSB 14 and the models before it offers a Wi-Fi connection the sound bar is linked to your home network and one you can play music from sources like Pandora Spotify and Amazon music to name a few and I'll repeat again the place offer your home's internet connection not through your phone and second if you were to purchase other compatible clips play five speakers in this case I have the RW ones they also connect to your home Wi-Fi you can have music playing different rooms throughout their house very similar to Sonos Wi-Fi speakers Yamaha just reviewed had a similar setup I believe both in Sony have Wi-Fi speakers as well it's a much simpler alternative rather than the old school way of hard wired net running ceiling speakers to rooms so let's get into the audio test here I'll play several samples for you guys this is purely the sambar for your reference with no audio editing while listening feel free to follow Jin's review on social media my turn and there you have it folks of course audio recorded at my end and then play through your speakers or not the best depiction of audio quality but hence my review here first up considering how compact the subwoofer is this thing packs a serious punch I'm amazed at how clean and accurate it sounds but as important it's very much sufficient to fill up a large sized room basis very much apparent when large characters are on your screen walking such as in this Iron Man clip here two explosions occurring with definition the mid-range with vocals is bright enough in for vocals are 100% clear and articulate considering the mid-range is where the human ear hears most details in the audio experience the detail is quite impeccable from simply a sound bar now faint noises in the background that shell casings hitting the ground during the gunfights all add to the immersion to the RSB 14 offers I can say the same thing with the high notes as well and there's no ear ringing and ting unis yeah it's filled with detail and resolution from my experience even blasting the sambar at a very high level the sound center is still very much balanced within each other's frequencies very high notes of tire screeches the screams that jets flying by all performed very well now one area where I would have to critique is the soundstage it does a good job but I was wishing for a bit more one scene in the revenant a voice in the distance behind us rang out and we both turned our heads in the studio looking behind us subconsciously and not intentionally it was seriously a surreal experience this mostly occurred during scenes where the audio Direction was absolute and intentional now majority of other scenes you do achieve left and right audio channels distinctly but the spatial awareness directional audio again clips does do a good job but just a smidge more in performance would have been great I also tested the sambar with music playback and the audio test sounded amazing at high volumes you can use the sound bar to entertain a large area or for more personal listening at high volumes bass mids and high notes again did phenomenal detail punchy bass clarity it's all there highly recommend the setup so that's it for this review I hope it helped you in some way let me know in the comment section below of any other sound bars you need me to review I know several have requested for JBL and bose so be on the
