Features
Feel every beat
Get the party going with your EXTRA BASS™ speaker. The subwoofer works together with two satellite speakers to enhance low-end tones and give bass a boost.
Just say the word and get the party started
Ask for your favourite tune, then let the good times roll with LIVE SOUND mode.
Just like being there
Cleverly angled speakers and DSP technology send your music to a wider area. We call it LIVE SOUND and it gives you a three-dimensional sound experience like if you were at a music festival or a concert venue. The blue lines show how LIVE SOUND mode sends your music to a wider area
Optimized sub-woofer
Two layers of MRC cones on the sub-woofer deliver powerful low-frequency sound with enhanced low-end tones.
Mica-Reinforced Cellular speaker cone
The rigid and lightweight Mica-Reinforced Cellular (MRC) speaker cone reduces distortion.
Angled satellite speaker
Efficiently spread the sound across a wider area.
Light up the party
There's no fun without party lights. The SRS-XB501G is a speaker with lights that sync to the beat, including line lights that go around the speaker, a speaker light and a flashing strobe.
Rounded form
The solid, bass-centric form minimizes vibrations and decreases sound interference.
