Yamaha has launched two new models of soundbars, namely, SR-C20A and SR-B20A in the Indian market. These soundbars can be controlled via an app which increases the convenience to use them. The name of the app is the Sound Bar Remote app which is newly developed to control the soundbars, change content, sound volume, switch on/off, etc from our tablet or smartphone. Both the soundbar models are equipped with an HDMI out port which supports TV ARC (Audio Return Channel) so that the audio from the connected TV is transmitted easily. The Yamaha SR-B20A is a bit more powerful than SR-C20A as it delivers 120W of total sound output. So, let’s have a detailed look at all the other specifications of these two new soundbars.
