Our take on the Ultimea Nova S40 2.1 Channel Ultra-Slim Soundbar

The Ultimea Nova S40 is a 2.1-channel soundbar with a slim, wall-mountable body and a separate wireless subwoofer. It connects over HDMI ARC and Bluetooth 5.3, so it handles TV audio and phone streaming without extra boxes. It suits small to mid-size rooms and buyers who want more bass than a TV delivers without a full surround setup. Against pricier 3.1 and 5.1 bars it gives up center-channel dialogue focus and rear speakers, and it has no DSP modes, so the sound is simple rather than tunable.

What reviewers say

Owner feedback is limited, but buyers generally describe the Nova S40 as an easy upgrade over built-in TV speakers with noticeably stronger bass. Some note dialogue can sound less forward than on bars with a center channel.

  • DialogueMixedSome find voices clear enough, while others say speech is less forward than on bars with a center channel.
  • SetupPraisedBuyers describe connecting over HDMI ARC and pairing the subwoofer as quick and simple.
  • Sound tuningCriticisedReviewers note the lack of DSP modes or EQ presets, so there is little control over the sound.
