The REN soundbars are the simplest and most user-friendly way for customers to get better sound. They integrate flawlessly with TVs, they have features to enhance quiet or poorly recorded dialogue, and they come in a space-saving, all-in-one form factor. But since they are aimed at average consumers, they have deficiencies that are deal breakers for audio enthusiasts like high distortion, peaky subwoofers with high crossover points, and gimmicky “surround” features. REN aims to give you all of the conveniences of a soundbar with the accuracy you’d expect from a DSP-controlled stereo system.

Stereo Sound

Soundbars rarely extend past your TV and rely on digital processing to simulate a wider soundstage. You can place REN as far apart as you like giving you a true wide soundstage with pinpoint precision of where the action is happening on the screen. Get real stereo sound and leave the gimmicks behind.


Sound Modes

REN is DSP-controlled, allowing for custom sound modes like Vocal Boost and Night Mode to improve quiet dialogue and soften loud sound effects when watching movies at night. Never miss a line of dialogue or accidentally wake up the neighbors again.


Seamless TV Integration

Featuring HDMI ARC with CEC, REN offers the same kind of seamless TV integration that an AV receiver or soundbar provides. REN automatically wakes when the TV is turned on and can be controlled with the TV remote. No need for multiple remotes or bulky gear to get premium sound from your TV.

Bass Management

When a sub is connected, a low pass filter automatically sends everything below 80 Hz to the subwoofer and a high pass filter sends anything above 80 Hz to the speakers. This frees up REN’s built-in amplifier to focus solely on the midrange and highs. Typically, you’d have to invest in an AV receiver to get this kind of functionality, but we’ve added it to REN to give you a home theater-like experience in one streamlined package.

 

 

 

REMOTE

Most of the buttons on REN’s remote are self-explanatory, but there are some hidden functions that make REN easier to live with.

Channel Swap – You can swap the L / R stereo output on REN. This allows you to ensure your speakers are set up to deliver the stereo experience that the recording engineers intended. The active speaker is set to the left channel by default. To make the right speaker be your active speaker, press and hold the Next Track button for 5 seconds. To switch back to default, and have the active speaker on the left, press and hold the Previous Track button for 5 seconds.

Automatic Power-Up (APU) / Automatic Power-Down (APD) – If you don’t want the speakers to go into standby, or don’t want them to wake up after they’ve gone into standby, you can easily deactivate either setting. Hold the “Treble Reset” button for five seconds to disable APU, or hold the “Bass Reset” button for five seconds to disable APD.

Toggle Crossover – The crossover is automatically enabled when a subwoofer cable is connected to the sub out. If the Sub Mute function is activated, the high-pass filter on the REN will become inactive. If the “Sub” button is pressed and held for more than 5 seconds, the state of the high-pass filter will invert effectively letting you toggle it on or off.

 

 

Summary

REN powered speaker system combines the ease of a soundbar with the audio quality of a true stereo setup. With seamless TV integration via HDMI ARC, custom sound modes for better viewing experiences, and an automatic crossover for tight sub integration, it’s the ideal choice for living room setups. It’s no slouch when used on desktop, with network streamers, or paired with analog gear with its various inputs – RCA, AUX, USB-C, optical, and Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless audio. REN is the perfect all-in-one package to deliver a home theater-like experience.
