Yamaha Upgrades Its Smallest Soundbar With Dolby Atmos Support

Yamaha Upgrades Its Smallest Soundbar With Dolby Atmos Support

Yamaha has introduced its inaugural compact Dolby Atmos sound bar, the B200A, designed to upgrade and replace their current C20A model. This new addition boasts compatibility with Dolby Atmos and includes a built-in subwoofer with a Bass Extension mode. The soundbar's small size may suggest it employs virtual Atmos playback rather than additional physical drivers.

Yamaha has yet to confirm this. The B200A also features Clear Voice technology for improved dialogue clarity and four sound modes: Movie, Standard, Stereo, and Game. Connectivity options consist of HDMI eARC/ARC, optical, 3.5 mm, and Bluetooth. Measuring at 23.6 inches wide, 2.5 inches high, and 3.75 inches deep, the B200A is similarly sized to the existing C20 soundbar, making it suitable for compact spaces.

Priced at $250, it is $50 more expensive than the C20 but offers enhanced features. The B200A is slated for release in November.
