The Roku Streambar comes with a voice remote that can adjust sounds for boosted volume, speech clarity, lower loud commercials and optimization for night listening. The low-frequency was weak especially at higher volume. However, the speaker still projects an impressive large sound field considering the room used to test the Streambar did not have walls on any sides which would help to reflect for even better sound. The drivers are slightly smaller than those on the Roku Smart Soundbar (2.5 inches each). The 2.0 Streambar includes four 1.9 inch drivers, two of which face forward while the other two are angled left and right on the sides. There are also two threaded mounting holes if you want to hang the speaker. If your house is wired and you prefer an Ethernet connection the USB port can be used with an adaptor. The rear has an input to connect the power adapter, a HDMI 2.0 port with support for ARC (audio return channel), HDR10 and HGL high dynamic range information passes through (but no Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos), an optical audio input, a reset button, and a USB 2.0 port that can be used to access video or music files stored on a USB drive. There is a small LED indicator in the middle of the front near the top so that you know the unit is actually on but it is totally inconspicuous and does not lure the eye in a dark room. It has black fabric front and sides a rubbery top (without any buttons) and a black Roku logo on the front. The new Streambar is a more compact version which measures 2.4 x 14.0 x 4.2-inches (H x W x D) and weighs 2.4 pounds. If the Streambar sounds semi-familiar, you might be remembering the Roku Smart Soundbar, introduced 2019, that's around 32 inches long.
