Bass Accuracy ( for music, film scores, movies, and games)	Soundbar 's Low-Frequency-Extension is less than 35 Hz. Which means It can reproduce the deep thump and rumble in the low-bass accurately.
3- Dimensional Sound Accuracy ( Sound Stage)	audio seems to be coming from a more accurate pinpoint location
Total Harmonic Distortion ( Center Channel )	It has dedicated center channel speaker and Total Harmonic Distortion of center channel @80dB is less than standard value(>0.7). So soundbar produce more clear and accurate audio of the dialogue in movies.
