The sound that accompanies a film accounts for 50 percent or more of the overall experience, which is a well known fact. Most televisions, however, sound rather modest. A soundbar is often recommended as an audio alternative. Depending on the placement options available, however, a sound deck can sometimes make a lot more sense. Especially when it´s a fully-fledged model like our Magnat Sounddeck 160.

In contrast to a soundbar, there is no doubt about where a sound deck should be positioned. It should be located under the TV. And it is precisely for this location that we designed the Sounddeck 160 – both structurally and acoustically. There is, of course, a lot of technology accommodated in the elegant, 70 cm wide housing. The second advantage of a sound deck like the Magnat 160 is that the subwoofer is already integrated, so setting it up is child´s play.

In terms of acoustics, the Sounddeck 160 naturally offers significantly more volume than a typical soundbar due to the depth of its housing. In addition, we have also provided the sound deck with an ultra-sturdy MDF housing, which means it is in no way inferior to classic speakers. This makes the sound fuller and more authentic and optimizes the all-important vocal reproduction.

The built-in Dolby Digital decoder enables the best 3D surround sound for the home cinema. The Sounddeck 160 is therefore able to replace a complete surround system. The fact that the active subwoofer is already integrated in the housing means that the set-up process is simply limited to connecting the TV and sound deck. Then insert the power plug – and that´s it.
The integrated equalizer features three presets for sound optimization, i.e. for film, music and vocal reproduction. And if you fancy a bit of cinema enjoyment late at night, the night mode ensures your children or any neighbors close by won´t be disturbed or awoken during loud scenes. The elegant display at the front of the unit always provides information about which input is selected.
