Simply Connect
Connect a plethora of sound sources to the ASB-2 via three 
HDMI inputs and use the HDMI output for 1080p/3D video 
pass through and OSD. HDMI 1.4’s Audio Return Channel 
(ARC) allows for the two way transfer of information between 
the ASB-2 and a compatible device, creating an additional 
input from the HDMI output. Digital S/PDIF optical and coaxial 
inputs  add  further  flexibility,  together  with  stereo  analogue 
RCAs for plugging-in legacy radios and CD players. A single 
RCA LFE output allows for system expansion with an external 
sub-woofer  -  crossover  filtering  is  automatic.  Network  setup 
and upgrades are via USB or Wi-Fi.  
Great Sound for Movies and Music
Monitor Audio’s own three-dimensional audio software 
provides the immersive surround effect of multi-channel movie 
soundtracks. The ASB-2 accepts 7.1 discreet channels and 
processes them for a powerfully convincing and enveloping 
soundstage from film, TV, games and network/ online sources, 
consistent in level and frequency response in any room. 
Turn off the ASB-2’s 3D processing via the remote handset 
supplied or its onboard control panel, and the soundbar 
becomes a potent three-way stereo music system 
incorporating six drivers individually powered by discrete amp 
stages developing a massive 160W combined! Under custom-
tuned DSP control, each driver receives the optimum frequency 
spectrum for accurate and efficient audio reproduction.
Compact Lifestyle Appeal
Finished in black grille cloth with solid brushed metal end 
trims, the ASB-2 is perfect for rack or cabinet top placement. 
Alternatively, it can be wall mounted using an optional wall fixing 
bracket, or Sanus adjustable TV mounting systems. Families 
who love music and film, but loathe the clutter and complexity 
than come with traditional home entertainment will adore the 
ASB-2’s next-generation simplicity and performance. 
Custom Control
Select input, track, volume, mute, menu, play and standby from 
the ASB-2’s compact handset, or access this functionality from 
home control screens via hex codes for each remote feature, 
which can be programmed into a whole-house system by your 
custom installer.
