Creative Unveils Affordable Home Cinema Setup With Value Soundbar And Subwoofer
The compact Creative Stage Pro is aimed at first-time buyers of a soundbar for an instant sound ... More upgrade. It offers Near Field and Far Field settings.
Creative has a reputation for producing value-for-money audio products, including wireless earbuds, headphones, computer speakers, TV soundbars and other consumer products. Today, the brand is pushing the value envelope even further with the launch of its new Creative Stage Pro, an affordable 2.1 mini soundbar complete with subwoofer.
The all-new Creative Stage Pro has been designed specifically with movie fans, gamers and music lovers in mind. It has a compact footprint and is small enough to place in front of a TV without blocking the screen or interfering with the infrared receiver for the remote control. Despite its small size, the Stage Pro is powerful enough to use in larger spaces.
Dolby Digital Plus
Central to the Stage Pro's performance is its support for Dolby Audio—Dolby Digital Plus, to be precise—so dialog sounds clearer with a rich audio balance and projected surround sound that can enhance anything from a blockbuster movie to a high-action computer game.
