Monitor Audio SB3 (Black)
3 Channel Speaker/Passive Soundbar
£719
With the Monitor Audio SB3 you get to keep your AV receiver while enjoying the convenience and power of a large soundbar.
Passive soundbar - you choose the amp
If you like the idea of a soundbar - and who wouldn't as they're a sleek and neat solution to improved TV sound - but are loathed to get rid of your existing AV receiver, then the Monitor Audio SB-3 could be just what you're looking for. With no amplification built in, it's ready to plug straight into the left, centre and right channel outputs of your existing amp/receiver. This way you get the full benefit of your existing hardware with the addition of superb Monitor Audio speakers in a stylish package that will sit under the TV.
High quality Monitor sound
When it comes to sound quality, the Monitor Audio SB-3 shows its hi-fi heritage. With a mighty bass, accurate mid-range and detailed treble response, the SB3 sounds every bit the hi-fi quality speaker. Making use of three C-CAM gold dome tweeters and four separate C-CAM woofers gives precise audio and a sound stage that's wide enough to fully immerse.
Four Auxiliary Bass Reflex speakers
To make sure that explosions can be felt as well as heard, the SB-3 has four ABRs (Auxiliary Bass Reflex) speakers. These are dedicated to giving you a deep and mighty bass that's easily a match for a smaller, stand-alone subwoofer.
Good looking and easy to place
Rather than having front left, centre and right speakers scattered across your wall, the Monitor Audio SB3 places them all in one, sleek casing. Although its slim height and depth makes it easy to place in front of your TV, an optional wall bracket is also available, keeping the speaker close to the wall, meaning those sleek good looks aren't spoiled.
The perfect size for TVs over 60", the Monitor Audio SB3 passive soundbar offers the best of all worlds.

What a game changer
Replaced my Bose surround sound system, used this instead of three double cube speakers and added a monitor audio sub and two rear satellites. Not only does it look great, it sounds amazing.

Good aesthetics
Purchased this together with a real subwoofer. Definitely an improvement over tv speakers. Chose this option to avoid having to use separate speakers. It is used in a large room, which I believe compromises the sound of the speaker, little separation and boxy sound. I think it would sound better in a small room.
