About the Yamaha SR-B40A
A compact bar with virtual Dolby Atmos
The Yamaha SR-B40A offers big sound from a slim bar and compact sub (TV sold separately).
A compact bar with virtual Dolby Atmos
The Yamaha SR-B40A delivers immersive home theatre sound with a virtual version of Dolby Atmos and a wireless sub that adds impact to the onscreen action. This bar and sub combo system's compact design also makes it easy to fit almost anywhere you need it.
Stream music with Bluetooth
You can play your favourite tunes straight from your smartphone using the bar's built-in Bluetooth. If you're more into the spoken word, you can catch up on your latest podcast obsession or relax to the soothing voice of Andy Serkis reading the Silmarillion.
Easy to find the right spot
This system works great in the living room, but its compact design also makes it perfect for setups where space is tighter, like a gaming rig or a bedroom. The slim sound bar fits under most TVs, and the wireless sub can be placed vertically or laid flat.
Hassle-free setup
Setting up and controlling the system is also nice and simple. Just plug both components into AC power, then connect to your TV with a single HDMI cable (included) or optical digital cable (sold separately). The sub automatically pairs with the bar. You can then control the system with the included remote control, via top-panel controls, or using your phone with Yamaha's free Sound Bar Remote app.
