]]>ChannelNews heard these soundbars at CES and they are impressive.
Available in four models, BAR 2.0 All-In-One, BAR 2.1 Deep Base, BAR 5.1 Surround and Bar 9.1 ATMOS (coming in July 2020), the series incorporate new audio technology developed in partnership with Samsung who are now selling an extensive range of Ultra High Definition TV’s that need Ultra High Definition Audio.
The first thing you notice about the Harman BAR 2.0 is that they come across as simple and compact and unobtrusive especially if they are used in a small room. While the sound is big the design fits right into those that like minimalistic design.
The BAR 2.0 includes Bluetooth, which allows 24bit audio to be streamed from a smartphone if the BAR is not being used for TV content.
The gear that impressed me was the Bar 9.1 this is JBL’s first Dolby Atmos soundbar and it’s very flexible in what it can do. The bar design took me back to another highly popular sound bar from Philips that had removable side speakers.
The new JBL Bar 9.1 coming in July has two battery-powered and detachable wireless rear speakers. You get 10 hours of surround audio from a single charge, and you can dock them back in the soundbar’s body to recharge.
The bar also includes four upward-facing drivers that reflect sound around your room. It’s 4K HDR compatible and comes with a 10in wireless subwoofer. Audio can be streamed to the soundbar using Google Chromecast, Apple AirPlay 2 or Bluetooth.
In the Bar 2.0 and Bar 2.1 Harman has built in Dolby Digital technology, they have also introduced new surround sound and a smart sound mode, into the BAR 2.0 that delivers excellent sound no matter what you watch or listen to.
With the BAR 2.1 you get 300 Watts of JBL Signature Sound, this model comes with a 6.5” Wireless subwoofer, it also has an optical HDMI cable.
The 5.1 BAR model has 550 Watts of power and a 10″ subwoofer, the built in JBL Multibeam technology delivers thumping bass which is great for those big action movies as it also has built-in Ultra HD 4K Pass-through with Dolby Vision.
It also has Chromecast, Airplay 2 and Bluetooth built in.
“Our Soundbar range gets better and better each year. JBL takes its experience in cinema and stadium sound and delivers it in a powerful and high-quality soundbar range. TVs are getting bigger and better with 8K technology and the sound needs to match. With the current environment of staying home and staying safe, entertaining yourself and your family has never been easier” said Marcus Fry, Country Manager of AUNZ at Harman.
JBL BAR series will be available from Harvey Norman now starting from $279.95 AUD. For more information go to www.jbl.com.au.

So why should you consider buying a flip phone.
The Wall Street Journal wrote recently?
In case you hadn’t noticed, our phone screens have gotten unmanageably huge. And smartphone sales have slowed, as we see less incentive in upgrading from one black rectangle to another.
Meanwhile, flexible and foldable screens are rapidly evolving and dropping in price. What better way to get us to buy a new thing than sell us a new thing that actually looks like a new thing?
The new reimagined Motorola Razr can now be seen in-store across ten Telstra retail outlets in Australia.
Danny Adamopoulos, General Manager of Sales, APAC for Mature Markets, Motorola said “The Telstra partnership adds to the device’s availability from JB Hi-Fi and the Motorola online store.
said the partnership with Telstra will provide even more options for those consumers looking to purchase the Razr.
“I’m delighted we are able to partner with Telstra to bring this revolutionary smartphone to their customers. The original RAZR was a fashion icon that defined a generation and became an integral part of pop culture. With its clamshell-style flexible display, the reimagined Razr offers consumers the upgraded smartphone experience they are after, with some iconic elements they know and love.”
The Motorola Razr features Motorola’s architected, industry-first, patent-protected zero-gap hinge that allows both sides of the customised polymer flexible display system to remain perfectly flush when closed and protects the display from debris and dust as well as re-engineered antennas to fit in a space twice as small as today’s smartphones, with water resistance and splash-proof protection.

]]>The new range of Epson WorkForce Pro and Enterprise business print devices will be available to Australian customers from April 2020, with purchase prices starting from $4,995.

“Business inkjet is expected to account for over 40% of developed business print solutions within the next five years,” said Craig Heckenberg, Epson Australia MD.
“As a result, Epson has taken steps now to help the market with its requirements in this area, placing particular emphasis on heat-free and energy efficient solutions.”
“These new products perfectly position us and our channel partners for future growth as they provide a sustainable, economical print solutions for organisations that are becoming increasingly aware of their carbon footprint, while at the same time seeking ways to reduce operating expenses.”
The WorkForce Pro WF-C878R, WF-C878RTC, WF-C879R and WF-C879RTC models deliver extraordinarily high ink yields, which produces up to 86,000 pages in black and up to 50,000 pages in colour.

]]>From today CBA customers can now access Samsung Pay through their Samsung wearables and smartphones.
Michael Baumann, general manager everyday banking and payments at CBA says the partnership with Samsung Pay gives customers more ways than ever to pay.
Garry McGregor, director of IT and mobile, Samsung Electronics Australia says,“Samsung Pay not only provides users with a simple and secure way to pay, but it also allows users to load their loyalty cards to capture reward points at the point of sale, which lessens their reliance on a physical wallet.
“With more than $6 billion of transactions across the CommBank app each week we know that our customers love using their phones to make payments. Since 2013 our customers have been able to use their smartphones to make payments.”
Samsung Pay creates a tokenised card number for the user, which means no sensitive payment card information is stored on the device, and also requires PIN, Iris or fingerprint authentication before making payment.
Users also receive remote access to the Find My Mobile website to easily lock their mobile phone device and prevent access to Samsung Pay if their device is misplaced. Additionally, the Samsung Pay app is housed on Samsung’s security platform Knox.
