Anko Pro Home Soundbar

The Anko Pro Home Soundbar (model CRSNDBRPRO) is a standalone television speaker distributed locally through Kmart and Target. According to product specifications and user documentation, the unit delivers 60W of total audio output across five multi-directional speakers alongside an integrated bass element. For connectivity, it provides an HDMI ARC port to receive television sound, a Bluetooth 5.4 wireless receiver with an operating range of up to 10 metres in open areas, and a rear USB port for playback from compatible storage drives. Weighing 2.86 kg and measuring 70 cm wide, 6.9 cm high, and 11 cm deep, the soundbar is sized to sit in front of or beneath displays on a media console.

Who it suits

This unit suits viewers seeking an uncomplicated television audio boost over built-in screen speakers without the complexity of a multi-speaker surround configuration. If your television features an HDMI ARC port, the connection requires only a single cable to transfer sound from the screen directly to the soundbar. It also serves secondary spaces, such as bedrooms, rumpus rooms, or home offices, where listeners want casual Bluetooth streaming for music and podcasts from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop.

However, buyers building an integrated smart-home audio setup should bypass this unit. The soundbar does not feature Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or integrated microphones, meaning it cannot link directly to smart home platforms like Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Matter, or Home Assistant. It also lacks an external subwoofer for sub-bass extension, does not support formats like Dolby Atmos, and does not include an HDMI cable in the box, requiring you to supply your own.

Australian notes

The soundbar is supplied with a standard Australian 230–240V AC power lead measuring 1.5 metres in length, plugging directly into local wall sockets without a separate transformer brick. As an electrical item imported and distributed by the Kmart Group for the Australian market, it carries Australian regulatory compliance marks. Retail purchases in Australia are backed by statutory consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), which apply alongside retailer returns policies. If you plan to use HDMI ARC, verify that your Australian television model supports HDMI ARC and that audio output is configured correctly in your television settings.
