Product Information
Classic design meets versatile new wireless connectivity, with the dazzling Harman Kardon SoundSticks 5 Wi-Fi.
Iconic design – reinvigorated
With a heritage that stretches back to the turn of the millennium, the Harman Kardon SoundSticks 5 Wi-Fi are still just as eye-catching as they were over 25 years ago. What’s new, however, is the 2020s connectivity. Featuring Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, you can wirelessly connect to and integrate with a vast range of streaming services, including AirPlay, Chromecast and more. There’s also an HDMI ARC interface, making this the ideal speaker system to boost your TV’s sound.
Slim, stereo speakers deliver holographic soundstaging
Super-slim, the SoundSticks are easy to place on a crowded desk or shelf. The design also promotes unimpeded stereo imaging, creating the effect of the speakers ‘disappearing’ within the broad soundstage. Separate top and midrange drivers ensure clarity throughout the frequency response.
Powerful bass from the dedicated woofer
Whereas most subwoofers are unimaginative at best, and usually hidden out of sight, the SoundSticks 5 Wi-Fi’s is one sub that you’ll be happy to have on show. More than just an eye-catching design, the sub hits hard. Using a downward firing 5.25” woofer it delivers deep, richly-textured bass that flatscreen TVs and laptops can’t hope to emulate.
Stream your way
Featuring built-in wi-fi, these SoundSticks let you choose from a myriad of wireless music streaming options. If you’ve an iOS device, simply connect via Apple AirPlay. For Android users, there’s Google Chromecast. Once connected you can effortlessly stream your stored music or audio from a vast range of streaming services. For a seamless experience with your favourite service, the speakers are also compatible with Spotify Connect and TIDAL Connect. For integration into your existing Hi-Res Audio, multiroom system, the speakers are also Roon Ready.
Wire up your TV and other source
Connect your TV via the HDMI ARC socket and enjoy a big uplift in TV sound. Thanks to their versatile placement and stereo satellites, the SoundSticks 5 Wi-Fi makes a great alternative to a soundbar. In addition to the HDMI socket, there’s also an AUX 3.5mm input, which can be used to connect to any audio source with an analogue or headphone output.
