The Studio 3D Mini soundbar system offers theater-grade signal processing in a compact design.

December 16, 2020

Definitive Technology has announced the Studio 3D Mini soundbar system. Standing at only 2 inches high and 26 inches wide and built with Definitive Technology’s minimalist industrial design, the Studio 3D Mini features striking angles and brushed aluminum finishes to look as elegant as it sounds.

To achieve the big sound it delivers from such a diminutive profile, the Studio 3D Mini employs a 4.1 channel, six-driver array with aluminum tweeters. The system ships with a compact 8-inch wireless subwoofer for tight, detailed bass response, which enables the bar itself to deliver the mid and higher-range frequencies. With the ability to process Dolby Atmos or DTS:X encoded movies via a single HDMI (eARC) connection, the Studio 3D Mini is capable of producing a surprisingly lifelike theater experience with very little effort, according to the company. The soundbar also features a variety of other in/out connections to help with backwards compatibility and commercial installer builds, including a 4K HDMI in, 4K HDMI with eARC out, optical in, AUX in, and a USB port for high-resolution music playback.

Notably, the Studio 3D Mini is the first Definitive Technology product to feature HEOS Built-in, which enables listeners to stream millions of songs from their favorite music sources, including thousands of high-resolution audio tracks as well as their personal library of digital music all from a single application. It also enables the soundbar to be connected to any other product with HEOS Built-in, which includes more than 70 AV products from Denon and Marantz. Listeners can sync music playback throughout their home, or play various content in different zones from a speaker, to a soundbar, a full-on home theater, or high-fidelity audio system.

Leveraging AirPlay 2, Apple iOS users can stream content from their devices to the soundbar. In addition to this, the soundbar is compatible with select features of Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, and Google Assist so users can set the volume, skip a track and start or stop music using verbal commands.

To further enhance the watching experience, the Studio 3D Mini supports 4K, Dolby Vision, and HDR10 video formats.

The Definitive Technology 3D Mini soundbar system includes 5-year warranty and will be available January 2021 for $899 from your local Definitive Technology retailer or the Definitive Technology website.
