The Orbitsound T12 v2 is a soundbar and subwoofer that produces an intense surround sound experience. The speaker system uses new technology to provide equal sound wherever it is positioned. The soundbar is a sleek device that can be mounted either above or below a television, as wires are needed to connect the audio. The subwoofer is rather large, and its glossy black casing can be distracting, but it’s still a stylish looking component, and altogether the sound system produces high quality sound.

Audio quality wherever

The appeal of the Orbitsound T12 v2 is the fact that it doesn’t need multiple speakers. It does the job effectively just from the soundbar and subwoofer. The speaker system consists of two technologies: Spatial Stereo and airSound, which allow the T12 v2 to emit the same level of sound wherever it’s placed in the room. This new component allows easy installation and positioning, and a less cluttered home entertainment setup that produces the same quality as a more complicated home cinema product. The Orbitsound soundbar and subwoofer also cut energy consumption by 40 per cent due to the lack of additional speakers and devices, making it an eco-friendly product.

The Orbitsound T12 v2 has a built-in docking station that’s compatible with iPod and iPhone devices; even with the latest iPhone 4. The system comes with a remote that controls the soundbar, subwoofer and all docked products. It supports the latest high definition televisions via the digital input and it also has coaxial and optical audio inputs. The 3.5mm stereo jack permits the Orbitsound to be connected to laptops, CD players, computers, gaming consoles and MP3/MP4 players.

Price and use

The soundbar and subwoofer are easy to use devices with a supplied remote control and versatile placement qualities. Most importantly, they produce amazingly high quality audio for all kinds of uses, whether listening to music via the docking station or getting a cinematic soundtrack for movies. The Orbitsound T12 v2 provides stereo surround sound, and with airSound technology it enables viewers to get the same quality wherever they are. A couple of things it does lack are HDMI connectivity and wireless options, but it still manages to provide quality sound.
