The industry is obviously hoping that the soundbase is to be as big a success as soundbars have proved to be. And Onkyo has gone big with their first entry in to the market.
With TV panel size continuing to grow in inverse proportion to price, Onkyo is launching the LS-T30 TV Speaker System, a soundbase that’s built to support the weight of extra-large displays.
The solid MDF cabinet will support TVs of up to 60 kg and 70 inches and houses four 6.5 cm drivers and a down-firing 16 cm subwoofer outputting 25W in bass power.

60Kg capacity should cover most bases
The LS-T30 also has four DTS Studio Sound modes specially customised by Onkyo for the product.
Listening modes include Surround, which employs advanced algorithms to pick out spatial cues from movie and game soundtracks; Stereo mode for music reproduction; Voice mode to elevate dialog in news, comedy shows, and TV dramas; and Standard mode for those who prefer balanced and relaxed presentation. The LS-T30 also supports 48 kHz Dolby Digital audio commonly encoded in HDTV broadcasts, online video streams, and disc-based media.
Ease of use is obviously important in this type of product and the LS-T30 is pre-programmed with IR codes for all major TV brands (with learning ability for others), which means it switches on automatically and responds to the volume commands of the user’s TV remote controller.
There’s no HDMI connectivity but you do get both optical and analogue inputs, with cables for each included.
The LS-T30 is priced at £350 and is set for release in October 2014.
