Design and build

So, the design is configured on Sony XF90 TVs, for example, KD-55XF9005. This is noticeable from two sides: the soundbar narrows back, so that it fits exactly to the legs of this TV. If you put both products together, they look like a single beautiful whole. Just neat and stylish, as we would expect from a soundbar. At the top there are several touch buttons - on / off the panel, source selection, two volume control buttons and a Bluetooth power button. Two holes on the back allow you to attach the soundbar to the wall. Sony comes with an extensive remote control kit.
