Creative Intros Stage Pro Compact 2.1-Channel Soundbar
Creative Technology today announced the launch of the Creative Stage Pro, a high-performance 2.1-channel soundbar and subwoofer system that brings cinematic sound into compact living spaces. Whether it's on your desktop or in the living room, Stage Pro is right-sized and tuned for powerful, immersive audio—without taking up space.
The Stage Pro continues Creative's commitment to make premium sound accessible across modern lifestyles. Designed to meet the evolving needs of users who consume content across multiple screens—from late-night movie marathons to casual YouTube viewing and intense gaming sessions—the Stage Pro offers an elevated immersive audio experience in a sleek, space-conscious design. It delivers serious performance without the clutter or complexity of traditional home audio systems, making it ideal for urban living, minimalist setups, and hybrid workspaces.
Superwide is the new immersive
At the heart of the Stage Pro is SuperWide—Creative's proprietary soundstage-expansion technology. It projects audio beyond the physical limits of the soundbar to deliver an unexpectedly expansive and spatial listening experience.
Even from a compact device, SuperWide fills the room with presence and depth, pulling you deeper into your content.
Smal soundbar. Big cinematic impact.
Compact in form, bold in performance—the Creative Stage Pro delivers 160 W of dynamic sound through custom-tuned full-range drivers and a long-throw subwoofer. From explosive action to subtle details, it brings emotional intensity to everything you watch, play, or hear.
Cinematic clarity with Dolby Audio
With Dolby Audio (Dolby Digital Plus), Stage Pro enhances the way sound is perceived—offering clear dialogue, natural tonality, and refined detail across content types. It's built to elevate your audio experience from the ground up.
Tailored listening modes: Near or Far
The Stage Pro adapts to your space with two dedicated listening modes:
With support for HDMI ARC with CEC, Bluetooth 5.3, Optical-in, AUX-in, and USB audio, Stage Pro integrates easily with TVs, PCs, and mobile devices—delivering high-quality audio across all your favorite content.
In typical living room setups, gaming consoles such as Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 can easily connect to Stage Pro via HDMI ARC by connecting the console to the TV through HDMI and the Stage Pro to the TV via HDMI ARC.

6 Comments on Creative Intros Stage Pro Compact 2.1-Channel Soundbar
Edit* Just saw this one goes to 30hz! About damn time.
I want to know if it only does SBC, or does it do AAC or LC3? Maybe something better like LDAC or aptX?
It's not as if Creative doesn't make a bunch of headphones where they use a combination of all of those.

These are tiny speakers with a tiny subwoofer. It's not like you'd gain a lot from a more advanced codec, though. Even its embedded USB Audio chip only goes up to 16bit 48KHz.
Bluetooth audio is really a massive scam in a way, as so many things only supports SBC which sounds pretty terrible, but as most consumers are clueless, the companies get away with it.
