The matter of staying at home, whether subjective or objective, has the attraction of "one house addiction and then home addiction". Thanks to the vigorous development of the Internet, now the home can indeed have a taste. As far as watching the film brush drama is a must-have matter at home, now we not only have a variety of high-quality film sources at our fingertips, but there are also many home theater products on the market that are as good as small cinemas.
However, creating a home theater seems to be a patent for friends who have a considerable disposable area in their home. If you are living alone in a single room with an area of 20 square meters, or if you have only a small study at your disposal, a home theater seems like a fantasy. Wait, isn't the development of science and technology just to let everyone break through time and space and enjoy a better experience? That's why we've ushered in the stage 360 home theater system (stage 360) innovated by the veteran audio giants.
External analysis: small and exquisite, unrestrained
Although positioned as a "home theater system," the Stage 360 is very small in size. It consists of a sound bar and a subwoofer with a circumference of 565 x 75 x 88 mm and a weight of 1.7 kg; the subwoofer has a circumference of 422 x 115 x 250 mm and a weight of 3.4 kg. At the moment, if you are reading the article, you can roughly compare it with your hand to feel the volume of Stage 360.
If you don't think it's intuitive enough, then we can feel the size of the Stage 360 through the diagram above - the stage 360's soundbar is placed in the middle of two decorative flowers, and it does not look huge at all. Its pure black metal mesh design not only has good environmental adaptability, but also "hides" itself in some specific environments, making the desktop look more tidy.
The Stage 360 features a pure black metal mesh design, with only the front surface, the LED dot matrix screen hidden under the mesh, and the four buttons above. The functions of the four buttons are switch on and off, volume increase, volume reduction and input source switching. To achieve more of the Stage 360's features, we can do it on the companion remote control.
Similarly, the Stage 360's subwoofer is relatively small and can be easily hidden under a table. Overall, this home theater and our common contrast is indeed not small. So the question is: the volume is reduced, can its performance still be guaranteed?
Technical interpretation: Although the body is small, it is moving and moving
First, let's take a look at their respective audio configurations. The soundbar uses two 2.25" x 3.85" track drivers. Designed by innovative engineers, the two track drive units are custom tuned to deliver up to 60W RMS in a single unit.
The subwoofer is equipped with a 5.25-inch high-offset driver. In terms of innovation, this subwoofer is optimized for the size of the cabinet and can achieve a power output of 120W RMS. In other words, the total peak power output of a complete Stage 360 is up to 240W. Don't say that the small room of about 10 square meters, that is, put the Stage 360 in a space of twenty or thirty square meters or even larger, it can also deliver a show of no timidity.
Although a small size has a high power output, although it is a good thing, it will also bring up a new question: Does this mean that a friend sitting only a few tens of centimeters away from it will face a huge sound pressure that is difficult to accept when he twists it? As an established audio manufacturer, innovation certainly doesn't tip over on this issue. With the remote control, we can switch between the two listening modes of far and near field, which not only makes it easy for us to use, but also means that the Stage 360 is a product that can become an "heirloom".
At the same time, we can find two rubber mats in the package, these two focal points can make the soundbar and table top at a certain angle, meaning that the sound will have better directivity. In the near-field listening state, this is a simple but practical change that can effectively improve the sound quality.
In addition to custom units, listening mode switching, and practical gadgets, stage 360 has a magic weapon to enhance the effect, that is, support for Dolby Atmos surround sound technology. Friends who pay attention to the sound effects when watching movies believe that they have found that the current streaming media platform has begun to support this technology. Dolby Atmos breaks through the traditional concept of 5.1 channels and 7.1 channels, and can combine the content of the film to present dynamic sound effects and more realistically create sound effects from far and near.
Due to the innovation of the concept, Dolby Atmos does not need to rely on the multi-channel hardware system of traditional home theater, so that 2.1-channel products such as the Stage 360 can also show immersive space, restoring a lifelike world on everyone's desktop.
Subjective experience: all-round, love to let go
So, what kind of performance can the innovative Stage 360 home theater system bring to us? Before exploring the answer to this question, let's take a look at what interfaces Stage 360 can provide. As we can see from the back of the fuselage, it provides an HDMI ARC interface, two HDMI 2.0 ports and a fiber optic interface. In addition, the Stage 360 also supports Bluetooth connectivity. If you're used to condensing all your entertainment into one space, Stage 360 provides an interface that's perfectly suited to watching, gaming, and listening.
So this time, we're going to combine The Stage 360's unique far/near field listening mode to give you a comprehensive overview of its performance. The first is to watch movies, which is the motivation of many friends to buy home theater products. Given that the Stage 360 supports far/near field listening modes, the first thing we experienced was near field mode.
I believe that many friends have experienced the effect of Dolby Atmos on mobile phones, and they can indeed feel that it has a fundamental difference from the traditional two-channel playback. When this feature is presented through Stage 360, we can feel its advantages even more - the sound is fuller and more textured, and the layers are richer and more pronounced. With the help of the near-field mode and rubber foot pads, we can easily adjust the sound to our own satisfactory state, feel the immersive feeling of the sound in a small space, but do not feel overflowing at all, and watching the film becomes an immersive thing.
By putting the Stage 360 in our experience room and switching to far-field mode, we can also easily get the energy we need to watch movies in large spaces. The setting of the total peak power output of up to 240W not only ensures the density of the sound, but also creates an abundant impact, which means that the Stage 360 will not have a "soft foot" feeling when restoring the sound effects of the action blockbuster.
If you can have such a good performance in the process of watching the movie, then the sound performance during the game will naturally not disappoint. Whether it's the roar of guns in an FPS game or the roar of an engine in a racing game, stage 360 can be faithfully restored, providing the thrill needed for bloody excitement. If you feel that the bass is not enough during the movie and game, you can adjust the bass adjustment provided by Stage 360 to adjust the performance to your taste.
Finally, let's get a feel for how Stage 360 performs. The first thing to say is that thanks to the support for the bluetooth 5.0 transmission protocol, the stage 360 in the wired and wireless state of the sound effect is basically no difference, you can rest assured that the Bluetooth connection to play music on the phone.
After listening to a variety of music, we can feel that whether it is because the main business is home theater or the engineer retains the inherent flavor of some innovative brands, stage 360's sound performance is a relatively high-density straightforward and full performance. Specifically, its mid-range frequency will be relatively prominent for better vocal performance. Its high frequencies are not gorgeous, but the extensibility is still good. In terms of low frequency, since users can adjust the volume of Stage 360 by themselves, we pay more attention to the low frequency density of Stage 360 and the dynamic performance of not dragging mud and water. Overall, the Stage 360's genre adaptation is quite wide.
summary
The subjective and objective influence of these two years has made many friends' home time have improved. Over time, people will naturally consider improving their home experience. The advent of the innovative Stage 360 home theater means that even when space is stretched thin, you can enjoy excellent sound performance. What is valuable is that it has not set a high price because of the characteristics of supporting Dolby Atmos, and the price is still relatively close to the people. The performance has surprises, the price is close enough, this will be an excellent choice for the public to improve the sound performance in a small space.
