Teufel unveils its most powerful (and most expensive) soundbar

A 120cm long, the Teufel Cinebar Pro is a big soundbar. But then, the German brand has specified the Cinebar Pro so lavishly it's hardly surprising it takes up a lot of space.

Let's tick the features off.

Sound is delivered by two 25mm tweeters in combination with six 10cm mid-range drivers, powered by a total of 200 watts. Two of those six bigger drivers fire sideways in an effort to deliver a surround-sound effect. The low-end presence is bolstered by 150-watt subwoofer (the XL) fitted with a 25cm driver and happy to be configured as either a forward- or downward-firing device.

Connectivity runs to four 4K-enabled HDMI inputs, a digital coaxial input, a digital optical input, two 3.5mm analogue inputs, an ethernet input, Bluetooth 4.0 and Google Chromecast.

Outputs include a 3.5mm analogue/headphone socket and an ARC-enabled HDMI output. Wall-mounting brackets are integrated.

The Cinebar Pro is on sale now, either online or from Teufel's flagship Berlin store. The price of all of this? £1099.

He worked for more than 14 years at What Hi-Fi?, the last six of which were spent as the editor of the magazine and website.

In the course of his career he's developed a pretty deep understanding of the way both the publishing and the electronics industries function, as well as the sort of intimate knowledge of audio products (both specific and general) that can make people very wary of him at parties.
