Razer Leviathan V2 Pro Desktop Soundbar
We have yet to be convinced that using clever acoustical tricks from a single speaker is a genuine replacement for multiple speakers positioned around a room when trying to create a true surround sound effect. But we also haven’t had a chance to hear Razer’s new Leviathan V2 Pro desktop soundbar, which promises a 3D sound effect without a sweet spot.
How does the Razer Leviathan V2 Pro deliver on these promises? It uses a combination of clever beamforming tricks, manipulating the sounds coming from its multiple front-firing drivers so they instead seem to be coming from around the room, and an infrared camera that tracks the location of a user’s head in real-time and adjusts where the beamforming tricks are directed. So even if a user is moving around and fidgeting during an intense game, they’re always hearing the intended 3D effect. -Andrew Liszewski
