  "account": "Canvas HiFi has unveiled an upgraded version of its audiophile soundbar, offering wireless Dolby Atmos surround support in addition to its already impressive specifications. The soundbar features 8-inch drivers delivering 1,500W of power and employs BACCH 3D virtual surround technology for a precise soundstage. This system positions audio from the left, right, center, and bass channels as if they were coming from physical speakers. Rear channels support either Dolby Surround or Dolby Atmos, depending on the setup. A new control box, developed with German electronics specialist Almando, handles surround decoding and signal distribution, providing additional connectivity options and integration with larger AV systems. Canvas has also partnered with Danish speaker firm System Audio to create a cohesive sound system using their Silverback active speakers. This expanded setup will be showcased at the IFA 2026 exhibition in Berlin from September 4th to 8th.",
