Yamaha will release a compact soundbar with a wireless subwoofer and an affordable price in October. The Yamaha SR-C30A soundbar is priced lower than the Sonos Ray which is the gold standard for budget soundbars.

The Yamaha SR-C30A comes with additional features than the Sonos Ray, thus giving it a competitive edge. It comes with HDMI ARC connectivity, Bluetooth streaming, and a wireless subwoofer for high bass output. The soundbar is quite compact together with the wireless subwoofer. The system will work with 32-inch TVs and larger models and the subwoofer can fit snugly into a small space.

The SR-C30A has two 4.6cm drivers (compared to the four in the Sonos Ray) in the wireless subwoofer. The soundbar will feature virtual surround sound capabilities which can be controlled using the app. How this combines with its minimal number of drivers remains to be seen. Unlike the Sonos Ray, there is no Wi-Fi connectivity or streaming capability for the SR-C30A. However, the multi-point Bluetooth connectivity means that you can switch between different inputs like your smartphone or Amazon Echo Dot.

Some other budget-friendly Yamaha soundbars already on the market are the SR-B20A and SR-C20A. Both models have an impressive output, thus raising similar hopes for the SR-C30A. The Yamaha SR-C30A will be available in October and is priced at $279. Its affordable price could belie the quality on offer on the device. We await the official release of the soundbar to establish its quality rating.
