Onkyo presents the LS7200-- a soundbar system featuring object-based Dolby Atmos and DTS:X technology together with wireless audio via support for DTS Play-Fi, AirPlay and FireConnect multi-room distribution.

Part of the Envision Cinema portfolio, the LS7200 is a 3-piece number consisting of a soundbar, wireless subwoofer and an "AV Centre" control unit. The slim soundbar has a 53mm profile, is wall-mountable and carries a driver array consisting of 2 speakers each for the left, right and centre channels, plus single height speakers. It connects to the AV Centre via multichannel audio cable, and uses AccuEQ acoustic calibration to adjust sound to individual spaces.

In turn the AV Centre offers x4 HDMI inputs for the connection of media players and game consoles, and connects to TVs via HDMI cable with Audio Return Channel to enhance broadcast TV audio. For the playback of content from mobile devices the soundbar uses DTS Play-Fi technology able to hand the simultaneous casting of multiple streams to different speakers without interruption. AirPlay, selectable 5/2.4GHz wifi and Bluetooth connectivity are also included, as is Spotify Connect support.

In addition Onkyo offers a Controller app complete with TuneIn and Tidal services, and centralised housewide audio distribution to optional FireConnect compatible wireless speakers.

The LS2700 ships on January 2017.
