Just not loud enough

The Atune Analog is a 30 inch soundbar that improves your TV sound. There are several ways to connect the device to your TV, including a pair of AUX audio jacks (which are included), a standard 3.5mm line-in (not included), and how I have established a connection is via a fiber optic connection. (also not included). The pole is relatively light and has built-in legs (50cm apart, which is about 20 inches) to easily hold it over the TV stand. This helps with both sound reproduction and cooling of the Atune counterpart. At 30 inches long, that's almost the full length of a 56-inch TV. The included power cord is about 3 feet long, which doesn't really matter depending on how tall your TV stand is. The included aux audio cables are only 2 feet long. So if you want to use the supplied ones, your soundbar needs to be effectively pressed against your TV. While visually impressive at 30 inches, there are actually only two speakers, one at each end. The rest of the panel is for demonstration purposes only. Atop the Atune Analog control panel is a power button, volume up and down buttons, an input mode button (aux, optical, Bluetooth, etc.), and a Bluetooth pairing button. You also get a small remote control that has a few more buttons. Instead of a single mode button that toggles between different inputs, each input has its own button. The remote control also has 4 integrated sound profiles. Music (more bass than treble), Talk (more treble than bass), Standard (mostly equalizes EQ so bass and treble are equal), and Cinema (gives a more rounded sound with a little more bass, but not as much as in the music mode). .The sound quality is not bad. The bass is nice and round and the highs aren't too tinny, but the volume range isn't that good. It's not a loud soundbar by any means, and you'll likely be cranking it up to full blast all the time. Chances are your TV can mute this soundbar. Another annoying feature is that when you turn the volume up or down, all noise disappears for about 2 seconds while the soundbar beeps. TVs don't support Bluetooth, but this means you can connect your phone/tablet etc to the soundbar, giving you much better quality than your device's built-in speakers. complete lack of volume. For its size, you'd think it would be loud enough to fill a living room, but it really isn't, so I can't recommend it. There are much better soundbars out there for the same money.
