Loewe describe this new bar as a versatile effort as it can be expanded to fir within a 5.1 set-up if connected to one of Loewe’s range of multiroom speakers, “as well as any modern or classic active speaker”.
This level of connectivity to active speakers is said to be unique to the klang bar3 mr, as it boasts an integrated 5.1 AV receiver with cinch sockets to ensure a connection with speakers from other manufacturers.
Dolby Atmos is supported, along with DTS-HD, DTS Virtual:X and DTS:X plus there’s room for multi-room shenanigans with AirPlay 2, Chromecast, DTS Play-Fi and Loewe Wireless Digital Audiolink. Physical connectivity sees three HDMI ports included, with support for eARC, 4K pass-through as well as an optical input.
