Dual Heritage DH-2 Solide One Pros and Cons
Drawn from the published figures on this page, not from listening.
- ✓HDMI eARC carries lossless Dolby TrueHD and Atmos from the TV
- ✗Decodes Dolby Atmos but has no height channels, so overhead effects are simulated
- ✗No DTS:X, so DTS soundtracks play without their height layer
- ✗No dedicated centre channel - dialogue comes from the left and right drivers
- ✗No Wi-Fi - music streams over Bluetooth only
Channels and Surround Sound
The 2.1 badge means 2 ear-level channels, 1 subwoofer channel. It decodes Dolby Atmos, but with no height channels the overhead layer is created by processing rather than by drivers aimed at the ceiling. Virtual surround: 3D mode.
Subwoofer, Rear Speakers and Mounting
It cannot add rear speakers. Wall-mountable: Yes (bracket included).
Connections
The Dual Heritage DH-2 Solide One has HDMI eARC to the TV - the connection that carries lossless Dolby TrueHD and Atmos from the TV's own apps and inputs; optical digital input; 3.5mm analogue input; USB-A input.
Streaming, Control and Sound Modes
No Wi-Fi; Bluetooth; a remote in the box. Sound features: night mode.
Size and Which TV It Suits
The bar measures 35.5 x 3 x 4.75 in (W x H x D), or 902 x 76 x 121 mm. It is no wider than the screen of a 43-inch TV (37.5 in wide) or larger, which is where a soundbar looks in proportion. At 3 in tall it should clear the bottom of most TVs sitting on their own feet.
