RBH Ultra-3 On-Wall LCR Soundbar Speaker Preview

I’ve just received a 64-inch wide Ultra-3 for review and I’m already impressed. Build quality is superb and the cabinet feels as though it’s completely solid even though it is indeed hollow. Each channel has its own sealed cavity to maintain proper spatial separation. The magnetically-attached grill is made from quality fabric attached to a substantial frame. Removing it reveals an ingenious connection system with three pairs of spring-loaded binding posts. Wires are fed from the back and load into the posts by simply pressing them down, inserting the bare end, then tugging on the cables to set them in place. It’s a super-clean design I’ve not seen before.

The Ultra-3 Soundbar mounts to the wall using metal keystone holes in the cabinet and simple wall anchors which are included in the box. I’m putting it under a projection screen, but it will complement a flat panel TV nicely as if it were part of the display.

The Ultra-3 is a passive speaker which means it contains only drivers, no amplifiers or processing electronics. It uses six inverted aluminum cones and three aluminum tweeters with textured phase plugs. The frequency response is spec’d at 100Hz-20kHz. I’ll be pairing it with a subwoofer and surround speakers for a full 5.1 experience. I plan to watch movies and listen to music as I expect it will be used in media rooms where listening is just as important as viewing. Watch Secrets for my full review coming soon!
