Thank you for purchasing the Dayton Audio® BS36 LCR (Left, Center, Right) Speaker Bar.
This small-but-mighty speaker bar combines left, center and right channel speakers into
a single convenient mountable bar that can be positioned above or below a wall mounted
flat panel display or sit free-standing. When combined with a pair of Dayton Audio SAT-BK
satellite speakers and a powered sub, like the Dayton Audio SUB-800, you’ll have created
a big sound, compact-sized surround sound experience that will impress family and friends.
