Audio

We recommend connecting your STEIGER DYNAMICS system to your display via DisplayPort or HDMI. This allows the enjoyment of lossless multi-channel or object-based (bitstreamed) HD Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby ATMOS, DTS Master Audio, and DTS:X. Alternative methods include a direct connection to a TV, AV Receiver, or to any external Audio system (native 5.1 / upmixed 7.1 surround sound via optical S/PDIF or 3.5mm analog audio jacks). We also offer additional dedicated sound cards for high-end analog or studio usage. Switching between sound outputs can be done in Windows or in supported apps.
