Monitor Audio - SB-3 - Sound Bar Review: Precision Audio for Your Home Theatre
Introduction
Welcome to our Monitor Audio - SB-3 - Sound Bar Review, where we dissect the latest in high-end single-cabinet audio solutions crafted for screens over 60 inches. If you’re seeking to transform your living room into a cinematic sanctuary with room-filling dynamics, deep bass and crisp highs, you’ve come to the right place.

Stunning Design & Rock-Solid Construction
The SB-3 sound bar merges elegance with robust engineering. Encased in a sleek, low-profile cabinet finished in supple black cloth, it integrates seamlessly beneath large displays. The integrated silicon feet ensure stable cabinet-top mounting, while our optional dedicated wall bracket transforms any wall into an entertainment canvas. We love how the minimalist aesthetic conceals a powerhouse of C-CAM drivers and ABRs.
Acoustic Performance That Demands Attention
At the heart of the SB-3 lies three separate driver arrays for left, centre and right channels. Each section is tuned with twin C-CAM bass/mid drivers, golden dome C-CAM tweeters and Auxiliary Bass Radiators (ABR)—delivering formidable output and articulate bass down to 80Hz. Coupled with a system power handling of 100W, this bar effortlessly fills even expansive living rooms with immersive, full-range audio.
Key Highlights
- Precision Imaging: Dedicated left, centre and right channels yield a coherent soundstage with pinpoint dialogue clarity.
- Deep, Tuneful Bass: Individual ABRs for left/right and dual ABRs in the centre add weight and realism to explosions, footsteps and musical basslines.
- High-Frequency Detail: C-CAM gold dome tweeters extend response to 30kHz, revealing texture in vocals, strings and ambience.
- Powerful Dynamics: Maximum SPL of 108.8dBa (all channels driven) for uncompressed, dynamic playback at higher volumes.
- Versatile Placement: Silicon feet for cabinets, or securely mount with the optional bracket—no compromise on performance.

Who Should Opt for the SB-3?
The SB-3 is tailor-made for cinephiles, music aficionados and discerning gamers. If you have a 60-inch (or larger) TV and crave lifelike sound staging without a multi-speaker setup, this is your perfect solution. Pair it with a 30–100W amplifier or AV receiver, and unlock the full potential of your content.
