Quad Subwoofers
For larger rooms and home theaters, the CINEMA 50 supports the connection of four independent subwoofers for balanced low-end sound.
Room Measurement
Using either Dirac Live or Audyssey MultiEQ XT32 with the included microphone, you can tune the audio coming from the CINEMA 50 to your specific room dimensions and layout.
Online Streaming
You can hook the CINEMA 50 to your home network via the integrated Ethernet port, or wirelessly via the two included Wi-Fi antennas. Once connected, the CINEMA 50 gives you access to a wide range of streaming technologies and services, such as Apple AirPlay 2, TuneIn internet radio, Spotify Connect, Amazon Music and Amazon Music HD, TIDAL, Deezer, Napster, Soundcloud, and Mood Mix.
Bluetooth Streaming
You can play audio through the speakers connected to the CINEMA 50 via Bluetooth from your compatible mobile devices. You can also transmit audio from the CINEMA 50 to an optional pair of Bluetooth headphones, which is ideal for late-night listening without waking up everyone in your home.
High-End Gaming
The CINEMA 50 provides VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) support when connecting your console for optimized gaming. VRR automatically alters the refresh rate in real-time for smooth gameplay, and ALLM lets the console automatically trigger your TV's game mode for reduced latency.
