"Creative's new Stage Pro 2.1 Soundbar is a mini speaker/subwoofer system designed to complement your TV or your computer, with a splash of Bluetooth wireless streaming thrown in for good measure. It's not the company's first product to attempt a dual role; its previous soundbar + subwoofer combos (Creative Stage V2 and Stage 360) had the same mission. But Stage Pro is the first to use Creative's SuperWide digital signal processing (DSP),"
"The result is a soundbar that performs at its best when you're seated directly in front of it, yet can also deliver upgraded TV sound with excellent dialog clarity, as long as you don't expect it to fill more than a small room. At 21.5 inches wide, its footprint closely mirrors the Stage 360, but the Stage Pro's curved shape and bronze side panels strike a more elegant note than any of Creative's previous Stage models. The new packaging lets the Stage Pro feel right at home in front of a 32- to 48-inch TV, while its smaller width means it's equally suited to life in front of a 27-inch computer screen. The soundbar's big, easy-to-read, built-in LED display lets you keep tabs on your source, volume, format,"
Creative's Stage Pro 2.1 Soundbar pairs a compact soundbar with a subwoofer and Bluetooth streaming, targeting TVs and computers. SuperWide DSP expands the stereo image to create a wider, more immersive soundstage for near-field listening. The system delivers clear dialogue and improved TV sound, but cannot reliably fill rooms larger than a small room. The 21.5-inch soundbar fits sizes from 27-inch monitors to 32–48-inch TVs. The built-in LED display shows source, volume, and format but lacks a dimming option and can be very bright in dark environments. The subwoofer design remains largely unchanged from prior models.
