Like all Orbitsound's products the BAR M9 and the BAR M12 highlight the benefits of only using wood for sound audio products. Both soundbars produce warm overtones which accentuate the mid-range, vocals come alive and low frequency bass emerges without distorting harmonics or clarity-destroying echoes.

In addition, the built-in Bluetooth enables wireless streaming of music from any smartphone or tablet.

Orbitsound's MD Peter Eckhardt comments: "Having enjoyed the success with our award winning 'M' series, we want to continue to create products that are unique, highly-functional and beautifully designed. Using wood to construct products became a thing of the past as plastics and metals became easier and cheaper to work with but we are seeing wood make a come back because consumers are demanding warmth and natural materials. Using solid bamboo is a unique combination of strength, durability and good looks. It not only helps achieve the best overall sound quality but eliminates vibrations from floors, table and shelves so consumers can enjoy crystal clear and rich sound."
