Eros Group launches Sonos PLAYBAR in the UAE and GCC
Ushers in a new era of TV Sound and Streaming Music
Dubai, September 9, 2013: Eros Group, a leading regional distributor of world renowned brands announced the launch of Sonos PLAYBAR in the UAE & GCC markets.
At a special demo for a select press gathering, Mr. Sathish Shenoy, Advisor, Eros Group showcased the SONOS PLAYBAR, the soundbar for music lovers. PLAYBAR brings immersive HiFi sound to the TV and, being a full Wireless HiFi System, streams all the music on earth through one easy-to-use player.
The sophisticated all-in-one design of PLAYBAR combines aluminum profile with high performance speaker fabric for a look that’s timeless and understated. Its built-in sensors help PLAYBAR automatically adjust equalizer and channel orientation so it can lie flat on the TV stand or rotate for low profile wall-mounting above or below the TV.
Travel under the hood, and you will find the PLAYBAR packs a punch through nine individually amplified speakers: six mid-woofers to deliver deep, rich low-frequency sounds, and three tweeters for crystal clear high-frequency detail. PLAYBAR’s advanced speaker array technology combines hardware and software to create a surprisingly wide soundstage beyond the physical soundbar, while maintaining crisp, centered vocals. Whether you are watching a movie, playing a game or streaming a song, PLAYBAR will always sound much clearer, not just louder.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Deepak Babani, CEO, Eros Group said, “It’s a pleasure to announce the launch of Sonos Playbar in the UAE and GCC. With the fast evolution of Home Theatres that we have witnessed in the past five years, the category that grows within that segment is of Sound Bars. This is largely to complement and improve the sound quality of flat panels which is also selling quite well in the Middle East. The Sonos Playbar gives an added benefit of also streaming music from thousands of internet radios and music services such as Deezer, providing access to more than 25 million songs from around the world, now available in the Gulf region.”
The Playbar is designed for easy setup and use, and connects to the TV with a single optical cable, playing everything that is connected to it, including Set-Top boxes, Blu-ray players and game consoles. It understands common audio formats output by TVs including Dolby Digital. One can control the volume or mute with a regular TV remote or with one of the free Sonos Controller apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac or PC. PLAYBAR works seamlessly within the Sonos wireless audio family: Pair PLAYBAR with the award-winning SONOS SUB for deep waves of spine-curling, jaw-dropping sound and add a pair of PLAY:3s to act as wireless surround speakers for an immersive 5.1 home theater surround sound experience.
The Sonos Playbar is now available at leading retail outlets for the discerning customers across the UAE and GCC.
