Harman Kardon supplies both an HDMI and optical cable in the box. Do you prefer to work with an optical cable for connection to the TV set? Which can. Harman Kardon does not disappoint the Enchant 1300 has three HDMI inputs and a separate HDMI port with ARC support for connection to the TV. connect and only one HDMI cable runs to the television. Many connectionsĪ high-end soundbar must have sufficient HDMI inputs, so that you can use sources such as the TV decoder and consoles with the soundbar. You have a bit more freedom than at Atmos soundbars, but not unrestrained. In short, a good placement is surely a thing to take into account. However, we removed it when it became clear that the surround feeling was seriously undermined. In our test setup on a very wide TV cabinet, a record player was initially placed next to the soundbar. We can already tell you: this is very effective, but you must ensure that there is nothing in the way of the sound waves coming from these speakers. On both sides you will always find a speaker that sends the sound (specifically the surround back channels) very wide into the room to create a kind of surround field. Nevertheless, Harman Kardon is not allowed to just put the device deep into a TV cabinet. This means you are not obliged to place the soundbar freely and with a view on the ceiling. Unlike most Dolby Atmos sound bars in this price category, the Enchant does not have overhead drivers that send sound to the ceiling. Nevertheless, it remains a device that visually fits better with a larger screen, or we think so.Īn advantage is the Enchant 1300 on many competitors with Dolby Atmos you can use it under a TV scroll the screen. It is not a small soundbar (112 cm wide and 12.5 cm deep), but the curves at the corners do not make it appear too much. We have tested the Enchant on a piece of furniture, but you get everything supplied to hang the soundbar on the wall. There is a white OLED display on the front, which, just like with Samsung sound bars, is hidden behind the speaker cover and only lights up when something changes (such as an input or volume level). But no LEDs or other indicators, and that made us after a session watching TV sometimes doubted whether the soundbar really was out. The top of the Enchant 1300 consists of a fine metal surface, with a number of buttons on it. Practice, because at this price point we really expect a top finish and a design that fits nicely in an interior. Together with the beautiful fabric that covers a large part of the soundbar, this all creates a luxurious look. The rounded corners give the Enchant a somewhat softer, less technical appearance. Such as the narrow metal chamfer around the speaker openings on the side and the top surface. In reality, this soundbar is indeed a bit of understated design, but it has many design elements that seem sophisticated. On images it seems very sober, nothing unusual. Metal and textileįew people start prancing when we state that the Enchant one of the most beautiful soundbars is on the market. There is also an almost identical looking and more compact Enchant 800 with ‘only’ 8 speakers and a single HDMI input, for sale for € 699. Unfortunately, the Enchant does not offer that. And that is quite a high amount, especially when you consider that Dolby Atmos support is the norm in this price category. The total price is therefore almost 1,700 euros. The Enchant 1300 costs 999 euros, the accompanying subwoofer a hefty 699 euros. The downside is that all this beauty carries a high price. The Enchant also has interesting features: Chromecast, 13 speakers and a smart measuring system to adjust the sound to the room characteristics. It is a luxurious soundbar, very sophisticated and can be optionally expanded with a particularly powerful wireless subwoofer. In this review, we zoom in on the equally new Harman Kardon Enchant 1300. But the test of the Citation is for a later date. A lot of attention went to the new Citation line, which is meant as a luxurious answer to Sonos. Harman Kardon Enchant 1300 soundbarĪt IFA 2018, Harman Kardon presented several new products.
