There's about 35 inches of separation between the left and right channels (from tweeter to tweeter), which is a decent amount for a soundbar but still not as wide as you could get from dedicated left/right speakers. This approach is designed to be more efficient and produce less resonance than a dome, to create a smoother high end with less harshness. As the name suggests, GoldenEar's High-Velocity Folded Ribbon tweeter places a thin, folded ribbon diaphragm between two magnets that squeeze air out of the folds at a very high speed. These are the same driver designs used in the Triton line. Within the 49-inch bar are discrete driver arrays for the left, center, and right channels each channel gets dual 4.5-inch Multi-Vaned Phase Plug (MVPP) midbass drivers with a High-Velocity Folded Ribbon (HVFR) tweeter sandwiched in between. The extruded-aluminum cabinet feels very well constructed and wonderfully inert. Its rounded cabinet has an elegant, high-gloss black finish with a detachable, black-cloth grille. The SC3DA measures 49 inches long by 4.75 inches high by 2.9 inches deep and weighs 20 pounds. The total price for this 5.1-channel system is $1,999.96. To flesh out the system, the company also sent me a pair of SuperSat 3 satellite speakers ($249.99 each) and a ForceField 3 subwoofer ($499.99). GoldenEar has opted for the latter approach with the SuperCinema 3D Array ($999.99), a three-in-one design that houses the left, center, and right channels in one cabinet. The passive soundbar is more like a traditional speaker system that requires connection to an external receiver or pre/pro that will handle the source input and signal processing. ![]() The active soundbar puts all of the speakers, amplification, and signal processing in one cabinet just connect your sources (and often a subwoofer) directly to the soundbar, and you're good to go. Soundbars fall into two camps: active and passive.
