Pop quiz: How many soundbars have you seen for the PC? Probably not many; I can count on just a few fingers all of the serious soundbars I’ve encountered. The Sound BlasterX Katana (See it on Amazon) is here to remedy this shortfall. Creative bills the Katana as “the world’s first true Under Monitor Audio System,” and to prove they’re serious about it, they seem to have coined a new acronym in the process. To that end, the Katana packs 4 speakers and an external sound card with 24-bit audio into a bar about 2 feet long, so it’s squat enough to slide under any desktop PC monitor. Paired with the included subwoofer, this $300 sound system has positioned itself as a premium audio experience for the full range of PC activities – gaming, music, and movies.
