Panasonic launches new 5.1 and 2.1 channel soundbars


Panasonic Life Solutions India has expanded its Soundbar lineup with a new range of soundbars: the SC-HTS600GWK, SC-HTS400GWK, and SC-HTS160GWK. These models cater to various audio needs for home entertainment.

  • The SC-HTS600GWK features a 5.1-channel system with a powerful 600W RMS output. It includes Dolby Digital Plus, delivering a surround sound effect for a movie-like experience at home.

  • The SC-HTS400GWK also offers a 5.1-channel setup but with a 400W RMS output, balancing strong sound in a smaller size.

  • Meanwhile, the SC-HTS160GWK, a 2.1-channel soundbar with 160W RMS power, provides clear audio in a compact form, ideal for music and movies.

All three soundbars share a frequency response of 20Hz–20KHz, ensuring sharp highs, clear mids, and deep bass for a well-rounded sound. An LED display adds a modern look and practical use, while their slim designs fit seamlessly into any room.

Connectivity options include Bluetooth 5.3, HDMI input, USB, and optical ports, making them compatible with many devices. They feature touch controls and a 17-key remote for easy operation. Users can switch between EQ modes—Music, Movie, News, and Night/3D—to adjust the sound to their preferences.
