Lenbrook Introduces DALI’s Versatile KATCH ONE Soundbar

CEDIA Expo, Denver, CO September 9, 2019 – Lenbrook Americas today introduced the DALI KATCH ONE Soundbar that combines superior audio reproduction with a fresh, contemporary design. Despite its compact visual appearance, it delivers TV and music audio powerful enough to fill even larger rooms. With an impressive number of built-in drivers (10 to be exact), the KATCH ONE has ample moving surface area, and when combined with its 200 watt amplifier system, it has the power to deliver impressive sound pressure and a memorable performance. The KATCH ONE will be shipping in October 2019 with a MSRP of $999.

The DALI designed drivers and amplifier adhere strictly to the company’s renowned sound design principles, reproducing the audio just as the creator intended, whether it be watching the evening news, an action movie or listening to music. To accommodate this even further, the KATCH ONE offers the option of two sound modes, making it possible to get the best out of any performance. The settings are designed to let the KATCH ONE perform with the widest selection of movies, documentaries, news and music. “Focus” offers a focused and very linear audio reproduction that is well suited for news and documentaries. “Wide” setting offers a wide, impressive and very dynamic powerful audio rendering best used for movies and concerts. Both sound modes deliver perfectly on the main goals of a high-performance soundbar – improving the TV experience through great sound.

Completing the package are the two 21 mm ultra-lightweight, soft dome tweeters, bringing the high-end and upper mid-range to life. Together, the 6 active and 4 passive drivers deliver a clean, detailed and coherent audio soundstage, rarely experienced in a soundbar. Should the room or application demand even more bass performance, a subwoofer can easily be added via the LFE output, extending the deep bass even further.

For ease of hookup, DALI KATCH ONE offers a wide selection of inputs, ranging from HDMI, 2 x Optical, Analog and also includes Bluetooth (AAC and aptX) enabling the KATCH ONE to connect to any TV or audio system. The user can use the included remote handset to control every aspect of the KATCH ONE, or they can connect to their TV via HDMI (CEC) and simply use the TV remote to regulate the volume of the KATCH ONE.

With several smart and elegant solutions for wall mounting or tabletop placement siting, the KATCH ONE will integrate perfectly with virtually any TV setup and is flexible and easy to install. The leather strap wall mount with built-in cable management completes the unique look of the KATCH ONE. The rear wall mount offers a sleek and elegant mounting solution, and where space is limited. If wall mounting is not practical the included feet make it possible to stand the KATCH ONE on a shelf or furniture top, etc.

With the KATCH ONE, DALI is introducing an elegant and exciting Soundbar, with high-quality audio reproduction, two unique sound modes, multiple mounting solutions and a range of connections that leaves no audio device behind. Available in Iron Black, Ivory White and Mountain White finishes, the KATCH ONE will match most TVs, and the unique visual design ensures that the KATCH ONE will stand out without stealing the picture.

“DALI is well known in Europe for their unique Home Cinema speaker solutions that showcase the company’s outstanding engineering and design”, explained Jeff Earl, DALI Product Manager for Lenbrook Americas. “With the KATCH ONE, DALI has created a Soundbar that not only looks great but also delivers remarkable sonic performance for either movie or music enjoyment.”
