FAQs
How long do the detachable rear speakers last on battery, and how do they recharge?
Each rear speaker runs up to 10 hours on a full charge; they automatically recharge when magnetically docked to the soundbar—no cables needed—taking about 3 hours to reach 100% via the soundbar’s power supply.
Can I use the Bar 1000MK2 without the detachable speakers for a simpler setup?
Yes, it functions as a powerful 5.1.4-channel soundbar with virtual surround using MultiBeam 3.0 even when the rears are attached or removed; detaching them expands to true 7.1.4 with physical rear and height channels.
How accurate is the built-in room calibration compared to external mic systems?
The one-button auto-calibration with built-in mic effectively tunes EQ and delay for small to medium rooms; it’s fast and user-friendly but slightly less precise than premium systems with external calibration mics in very large or irregular spaces.
