Creative continues to expand its soundbar catalog for this fall and if a few days ago it announced the Sound Blaster KatanaV2, a team with a clear gaming orientation, now have launched the Stage 360, a model focused on conquering our salons.
It’s about a compact device with the typical soundbar configuration (565 x 75 x 88 mm) plus external subwoofer (422 x 115 x 250 mm) and that comes with the premise of offering surround sound from Dolby Atmos tracks for a very affordable price that barely exceeds the psychological barrier of 200 euros.

The team does not seem focused on audiophile listeners, but rather on users who want to improve the standard sound of their flat-screen televisions without spending a fortune and also adding the possibility of decode tracks in Dolby Atmos from services such as Netflix, Apple TV +, Disney +, HBO Max, Prime Video or from Blu-ray players.
The bar plus subwoofer set is a 2.1 channel sound system that is capable of feeding its internal drivers with a 60 watt RMS power for the bar and others 120 watts RMS for subwoofer, achieving a frequency response between 50 Hz and 20 KHz.
We have several different optimizations for near and far field listening, being able to switch between these modes and the other options by means of a simple remote control.
Connectivity is in charge of two HDMI 2.0 input ports and one output ARC compliant to send you the audio from the TV without the need for additional cables. However, there is also a digital optical input in case we want to use it and a Bluetooth 5.0 interface.
