Staying true to brand in delivering budget-friendly, high-quality technology, the PRISM+ Ripple soundbar delivers on its promises.
Sporting a 3.1.2 channel surround sound system, the Ripple harnesses the power of 3D Dolby Atmos technology to create a cinematic soundstage within your living room.
The audio system is complemented by a potent wireless subwoofer, adding a robust punch to every beat. The 580W output encapsulates you in a 360° sound dome, creating an immersive auditory experience that is crystal clear and powerfully bass-heavy – perfect for modern-day smaller apartments and living rooms.
The key selling point of the Ripple is its Dolby Atmos support, which was previously the unique selling point of the Symphony. This is a promising development for buyers on a budget looking to level up their home theatre experience.
The superior bass from the 6.5-inch powerhouse of a subwoofer resonates deeply, with the wireless aspect adding to the overall convenience allowing you to place it anywhere.
Ripple’s HDMI eARC carries through lossless 3D sound formats, providing listeners with high-fidelity audio. Whether you are watching movies, gaming, or listening to music, the Ripple offers 5 audio profiles optimized for different content formats.
The aesthetic design of the Ripple is compact and modern. With its rounded corners and smaller size, the soundbar is an unobtrusive addition to any living room setup.
Despite the smaller design, the system houses a range of connectivity options at the back, including two HDMI ports, coax and optical ports, a USB port, and a critical e-ARC HDMI port.
The inclusion of user-replaceable and standard cables is a thoughtful touch, allowing for flexible cable management. The included wall mount, an HDMI cable, a power cable, batteries for the remote, and a user manual complete the package.
Control of the system is also streamlined, with the HDMI eARC connection enabling control of the soundbar using your TV remote.
Despite its multitude of strengths, the Ripple does tend to be overpowering during action sequences, although this is adjustable.
At SGD $499, the PRISM+ Ripple is a worthwhile contender in the soundbar market. It helps make the Dolby Atmos experience more accessible, delivers clear sound, with customizable sound profiles, all at an attractive price point.
