Roku is launching a new streaming device, the Roku Streambar, which is a soundbar with Roku built in.
The Roku Streambar offers 4K streaming with 4K HDR and features remote control compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant devices. It also comes with support for AirPlay 2 and will get HomeKit support soon.
The Roku Streambar is the ultimate 2-in-1 entertainment upgrade with powerful streaming and premium sound for any TV with HDMI, including Roku TV models. Hear every detail as you stream in vibrant 4K HDR picture quality on compatible TVs. With its compact acoustic design and powerful signal processing, its center drivers deliver crisp, clean audio that makes dialogue easier to hear while its angled side drivers fill the room with sound.
Enhanced Audio and Streaming Capabilities
The Roku Streambar is designed to enhance both your audio and streaming experiences. Its compact size does not compromise on sound quality. The device features four internal speakers that produce rich, room-filling sound. The center drivers are specifically tuned to make dialogue clearer, which is particularly beneficial for watching movies and TV shows where understanding speech is crucial. The angled side drivers help to create a more immersive audio experience by spreading sound throughout the room.
In addition to its impressive audio capabilities, the Roku Streambar supports 4K HDR streaming, ensuring that you get the best possible picture quality on compatible TVs. This makes it an excellent choice for those who want to upgrade their home entertainment system without needing multiple devices. The inclusion of support for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant means you can control your streaming and soundbar with simple voice commands, adding an extra layer of convenience.
Future-Proof with AirPlay 2 and HomeKit
One of the standout features of the Roku Streambar is its support for AirPlay 2, which allows you to stream content directly from your Apple devices. This is particularly useful for those who are already invested in the Apple ecosystem, as it provides a seamless way to share videos, music, and photos from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to your TV. The upcoming HomeKit support will further integrate the Streambar into your smart home setup, allowing you to control it using the Home app on your Apple devices or through Siri voice commands.
The Roku Streambar also includes a variety of connectivity options, including HDMI ARC, which allows for easy integration with your existing TV setup. This means you can use a single remote to control both your TV and the Streambar, simplifying your entertainment experience. Additionally, the device features Bluetooth connectivity, so you can easily stream music from your smartphone or tablet.
