The main soundbar unit is powered by four Class D amplifiers, while the subwoofer and each surround speaker get their own Class D amps. The left and right height channels each get their own 2-inch midrange drivers, as do the surround speakers, while the subwoofer comes equipped with a down-firing 8-inch cone.

Put another way, sequences that wowed on competing soundbars felt disappointingly subdued on the SB-600.įor the left and right channels, the SB-600 offers a pair of 2.5-inch midrange drivers and two 20mm tweeters, while the center channel gets two 2-inch midrange cones. Then there’s the SB-600’s audio performance, which is indeed solid but somewhat shy of thrilling, due to a decided lack of punchiness and dynamic range. Speaking of the surround speakers, one of them failed during my testing, which is never a good sign. But while this $450 soundbar (on sale for $340 as of this writing) has several points in its favor, including eARC support, multiple HDMI inputs, and easy setup, I also had some nagging complaints, including the bulky design, a stubbornly bright LCD display, and cables for the surround speakers that were too short. Monoprice’s solid-looking SB-600 delivers fitting 5.1.2-channel performance, complete with Dolby Atmos height effects courtesy of upfiring drivers. While the Monoprice SB-600 has its merits and a reasonably affordable price tag, it has too many drawbacks–and too many superior competitors–to earn our recommendation. Power and connection cables for the surround speakers are too short.One of the surround speakers on our review unit failed.
