One of the main benefits of a 5.1-channel soundbar is its ability to deliver a cinematic audio experience without a complex setup. It offers a big upgrade in audio quality and this is primarily due to the inclusion of dedicated centre and rear speakers, which create a wider soundstage and more accurate sound placement. This type of an audio system, as demonstrated by boAt Aavante Prime 5.1 5000DA, makes movies, games, and music feel more realistic and engaging. Let us find out how.
The boAt Aavante Prime 5.1 5000DA is a home theatre soundbar system featuring Dolby Atmos and 500W RMS output, available for Rs 14,999. It includes a wired subwoofer and wired satellite speakers, with multiple connectivity options like Bluetooth v5.3, HDMI (e-ARC), Aux, USB, and optical. Our review unit came in a big box and the setup was hassle-free. While I connected it to the home Wi-Fi network and the TV, I preferred the more simpler way of streaming Spotify music wirelessly via a Samsung mobile phone.
There are three EQ modes to choose from—movies, music and news. Dolby Atmos gives good sound quality from the system, whether it is for TV viewing or listening to music. Unlike traditional surround systems, Dolby Atmos processes sounds as individual objects that can move freely in a three-dimensional space. It means sounds coming from all directions, creating a total immersion. While watching a Netflix movie or web series, the system creates a more realistic and engaging audio experience, enhancing the viewer’s connection to the content.
The system has a sleek design with premium finish that goes well with the decor of the house. It is wall mountable, however, I placed it just below the TV. A user gets seamless access to any device – laptop, TV or mobile – with optical, Bluetooth v5.3, HDMI, Aux, USB etc. There’s a remote control provided with the system that makes it easy to use.
If you want to enjoy movies, video games, or even music but don’t have space for a full home theatre setup with satellite speakers, a 5.1 soundbar setup, such as the boAt Aavante Prime 5.1 5000DA, may be what you’re looking for. It offers a well-balanced sound for action-packed movie scenes. Dialogue and instruments are clear and easy to follow. This bar can get loud enough to fill a large room with sound, hence finds a strong mention.
