Play music wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet

Most people think of sound bars as TV sound solutions. But built-in Bluetooth makes the 'SB23W great for music too. You can play tunes from your smartphone or tablet through this system wirelessly. Listen to music and podcasts stored on your device, or stream songs from Pandora® and other online services. No more listening to the faint sounds from your smartphone's tiny built-in speaker.

No advanced degrees required

You don't have to be an engineer to set up the SP-SB23W. You can place the bar on your TV stand or mount it on the wall. A single cable connects the sound bar to your TV. Place the subwoofer anywhere you have room — it syncs wirelessly to the bar from up to 32 feet away. You can use the included remote or program the bar to respond to your TV or cable remote.

    Product Research

    Features

    Soundbar Speaker & Sub System: The Pioneer SP-SB23W soundbar speaker & sub system, designed by legendary speaker engineer Andrew Jones, delivers excellent full-range sound performance and replaces the audio that comes from the small low-powered speakers built into today's flat panel televisions. The Pioneer SP-SB23W provides an enhanced home audio experience through a two-piece system made up of one active soundbar speaker and one wireless powered subwoofer.

    Active Soundbar Speaker: The Pioneer SP-SB23W's soundbar speaker features six individual drivers; two 1" soft dome tweeters and four 3" custom midrange/midbass woofers. For optimal audio performance, each of the six built-in drivers is powered by an individual amplifier. Each amplifier produces up to 28 Watts of power (1kHz 1% THD @ 4 Ohm) to obtain increased dynamics and better overall "headroom" at any volume level.

    Wireless Powered Sub: To handle the low frequency bass notes of movie and music soundtracks, the Pioneer SP-SB23W system includes a wireless powered subwoofer featuring a down-firing 6.5" driver inside a bass reflex cabinet (with front-firing port) that's powered by a built-in 50-Watt amplifier. Tuned to 42 Hz (-10 dB), the output level can be conveniently adjusted with the included IR remote control. The powered sub receives its audio signal wirelessly from the system's active soundbar speaker via 2.4Ghz.

    Composite Wood Cabinets: Many soundbar & sub systems on the market have enclosures made of plastic. Pioneer's SP-SB23W features a composite wood cabinet enclosure with a special curved design for both the soundbar speaker and sub, helping them resist the "flexing" that can occur when the speakers are at high volume. With its superior resistance to undesirable resonance, composite wood provides more faithful sound reproduction.

    Dolby Digital + Sound Modes: The Pioneer SP-SB23W system features Dolby Digital Decoding and three sound modes including music, movies, and dialogue. Dialogue is a late night mode that optimizes dialogue conversations, making it ideal for late night viewing.

    Digital + Analog Inputs: The Pioneer SP-SB23W is fitted with both analog and digital inputs to connect your flat-panel television and other AV components. The soundbar speaker system features one optical (toslink) digital input and one stereo analog (RCA) input. The optical digital input supports 2ch PCM and 5.1ch Dolby Digital. You should turn your TV's speakers off or set the TV's volume to 0.

    Note: The digital optical output terminals of most newer flat-panel TVs only send an audio signal in 5.1ch when receiving Dolby Digital/DTS surround sound from the TV's built-in tuner, network connection, or connected USB device; and will output only 2ch stereo from sources connected to the TV via HDMI, or RCA (like your Blue-ray/DVD player or satellite/cable box).

    Built-in Bluetooth: The active soundbar & sub system also features built-in Bluetooth connectivity to enable wireless music streaming from a smartphone, tablet, computer or other Bluetooth-enabled device, with the ability to pair two devices simultaneously. You can stop/pause audio streaming on one device and a second device will start streaming immediately, eliminating the need to go through the pairing process each time.

    Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the Pioneer SP-SB23W.

    Remote Control: The Pioneer SP-SB23W includes an IR remote for wireless operation of the soundbar speaker & sub system. For added convenience, you can teach the SP-SB23W to respond to your TV's remote control commands via its learning mode feature.

    Mounting Options: The soundbar speaker can be table-top mounted using the included rubber feet or wall-mounted using the integrated keyhole slots on the back-panel. The soundbar speaker should be positioned above or below your flat-panel TV (for best results align the front of the soundbar speaker with the front of the TV). The powered subwoofer receives its audio signals wirelessly from the main unit, so it requires no speaker cables, allowing you to place it in the most convenient location (a power cord connection is required, however).
