Noise has entered the home audio market in India with the launch of its Homestage range of soundbars. This is an obvious expansion for the brand’s product portfolio considering its name and the existing personal audio devices. At the top of the range is the Noise Homestage 5.2.4, a 700W Dolby Atmos system with dual subwoofers and wireless rear speakers. The new range is aimed at consumers looking to improve their TV audio, from first-time soundbar buyers to those wanting a more complete home theatre setup.
The Noise Homestage range is now available through Noise’s official website. The prices are:

The Noise Homestage 5.2.4 uses a 5.2.4 channel configuration. This consists of five front channels, two dedicated subwoofers and four up-firing height channels. The up-firing speakers are designed to add height information to the sound field, which is central to the Dolby Atmos experience.
The system has a claimed 700W audio output and comes with two 6.5-inch wired subwoofers. It also includes two wireless rear satellite speakers. The rear speakers reduce the need to run speaker cables across the room, although the subwoofers themselves remain wired.
For TV connectivity, the soundbar supports HDMI eARC/ARC. Noise says a single HDMI eARC connection can carry full-quality Dolby Atmos audio from a compatible TV to the system. It also supports optical, USB, and AUX inputs and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless connectivity.
You can manually adjust bass and treble through dedicated 12-level controls.
The system uses a matte metallic finish and is available in Black and Silver. Noise has also used a touch control panel on the soundbar, keeping physical controls relatively unobtrusive.
In practical terms, the 5.2.4 configuration and separate subwoofers are intended for buyers who want a wider and more immersive soundstage than a conventional two-channel TV soundbar can provide. However, the larger number of speakers also means the system requires more space than the simpler models in the Homestage range.
Meanwhile, the 2.1 and 3.2 models target buyers who may primarily want better TV sound without moving to a multi-speaker setup.
