Comparing the RBH 8400 and 5600 Soundbars: High-Performance Audio for Every Space

What’s up Dreamedia family? Zach here, joined by Kenny from RBH Sound, and today, we’re diving into a side-by-side comparison of two incredible soundbars: the RBH 8400 and the RBH 5600. These American-made masterpieces offer performance, customizability, and style for every audio setup. Let’s break down their differences, applications, and why RBH continues to stand out in the audio industry.

RBH 8400: The Powerhouse

The RBH 8400 is a beast of a soundbar, featuring:
        •        Four 8-inch woofers for deep bass.
        •        Three AMT (Air Motion Transformer) tweeters, delivering exceptional clarity.
        •        Tailored for large spaces and high-output performance.
        •        Perfect as a center channel in a system with RBH’s flagship towers.

The 8400 is the ultimate solution for those who prioritize audio performance and are willing to accommodate its larger size. With its high output and impeccable sound quality, it’s designed for spacious rooms or those who simply love their audio loud and clear.

RBH 5600: The Sleek Alternative

The RBH 5600, while more compact, still delivers exceptional performance:
        •        Five 6-inch woofers for balanced audio.
        •        Smaller AMT tweeters, optimized for clarity in smaller to medium-sized spaces.
        •        A more realistic size and aesthetic for most homes, making it wife- and space-approved.

If the 8400 is too large for your room or aesthetic preferences, the 5600 provides a more manageable size without sacrificing too much performance. It’s an ideal choice for those with smaller rooms or those looking for a more subtle installation.

Key Differences

Feature        RBH 8400        RBH 5600
Woofers        4x 8-inch        5x 6-inch
Tweeters        3x Large AMT        3x Smaller AMT
Performance        High output, deep bass        Balanced for smaller spaces
Application        Large rooms, high-output systems        Small to medium-sized rooms
Customization        Fully customizable        Fully customizable

Customizability: Where RBH Shines

RBH’s custom approach allows you to tailor their products to fit your exact needs:
        •        Soundbar Length: Customizable to match your TV size, or choose from standard models for 65”, 75”, or 85” TVs.
        •        Finishes: Match your soundbar to your room’s decor, from custom colors to materials like stone or marble.
        •        Speaker Configurations: Adjust configurations for left, center, and right channels to suit your room’s layout.

RBH takes pride in their made-in-America craftsmanship, offering a level of customization and quality that’s hard to match.

Real-Life Example: Zach’s Personal System

In my own home, I’ve installed the RBH 8400 in a 5.4.4 Dolby Atmos setup, featuring:
        •        Dual 12-inch on-wall subwoofers mounted under window sills.
        •        8-inch in-ceiling speakers with AMT tweeters for seamless mid-range distribution.
        •        A space measuring 25 x 60 feet, demonstrating how the 8400 can thrive in large, challenging environments.

The result? A cohesive audio experience that sounds incredible whether I’m watching movies or listening to music.

Applications for Every Space
        1.        RBH 8400:
        •        Ideal for large open spaces or rooms with high ceilings.
        •        Perfect for dedicated home theaters or multi-use rooms needing high-output performance.
        •        Pairs beautifully with RBH’s larger towers for a seamless timbre match.
        2.        RBH 5600:
        •        Great for living rooms, bedrooms, or smaller family rooms.
        •        Offers a clean aesthetic without compromising performance.
        •        Works well in multi-purpose setups or where space is a concern.

RBH’s Commitment to Excellence

RBH’s dedication to quality goes beyond performance:
        •        High-Density Fiberboard (HDF) construction ensures minimal resonance.
        •        Innovative acrylic polymer baffles reduce cabinet resonance for tighter, cleaner sound.
        •        Proudly designed, engineered, and manufactured in Utah, offering exceptional craftsmanship and reliability.
