  "account": "Yamaha has introduced a new affordable Dolby Atmos soundbar called the B200A, priced at $250 in the US and likely to be available internationally soon. This compact 2.1-channel soundbar, weighing just 1.8kg and measuring 23-5/8 x 2-1/2 x 3-3/4 inches, offers dual 1.8-inch 20W speakers and a three-inch 30W subwoofer. It connects via eARC, optical, 3.5mm ports, and Bluetooth 5.3, with remote control via the Sound Bar Remote app. Yamaha highlights its Clear Voice feature for better voice clarity and a Game Sound Mode to enhance in-game audio cues. The soundbar comes with four EQ modes - Standard, Movie, Stereo, and Game - providing a range of listening options. At $250, it's considerably cheaper than other Dolby Atmos soundbars, making it an attractive option for those seeking high-quality audio without breaking the bank, particularly during sales events.",
  "summary": "The Yamaha B200A offers Dolby Atmos, a compact frame, several modes and a built-in subwoofer, all for a relatively affordable price.",
