The Nebula soundbar features inputs for HDMI (ARC), optical, and analog cables, while the USB port is only for servicing the soundbar. ThereвЂ™s also a USB Type-A port here, but itвЂ™s only for installing firmware updates, not for playing music files stored on a thumb drive. Inputs and outputsДЄ middle cavity in the back of the Nebula offers just a trio of inputs: a 3.5mm analog audio input, an HDMI port with ARC (audio return channel) support, and an optical (Toslink) digital audio input. You could also mount the soundbar on a wall using the four mounting holes in the bottom of the unit a bracket, screws, and a mounting guide are included.

The soundbar is short enough that you can plunk it down in front of most TVs without blocking the bottom of the screen, even in the case of my 55-inch LG C9 OLED TV (which has an unusually low-slung display stand). Measuring 36.2 x 4.5 x 2.4 inches and weighing in at a little more than seven pounds, the fabric-covered Nebula has a rounded design and itвЂ™s fairly easy to carry, despite its bulk. Roku offers an optional wireless subwoofer for its system, and you can use RokuвЂ™s Wireless TV Speakers as surround channels.

ItвЂ™s also worth noting that for now, you canвЂ™t upgrade the Nebula to a 5.1-channel system by adding surround speakers, although an Anker rep didnвЂ™t rule out the possibility of a wireless surround kit in the future. There are no up-firing drivers, which means no Dolby Atmos or DTS:X support, although (as weвЂ™ll cover in a bit), the Nebula does have a (decent) virtual surround mode.

While it lacks a discrete subwoofer, the Nebula Soundbar-Fire TV Edition Anker still bills this soundbar as a 2.1-channel system by virtue of its two built-in 3-inch woofers and bass ports on each side, while two 1.5-inch full-range drivers supply the left and right channels.

This review is part of TechHiveвЂ™s coverage of the best soundbars, where youвЂ™ll find reviews of competing products, plus a buyerвЂ™s guide to the features you should consider when shopping. The Nebula is similar to the $180 Roku Smart Soundbar in that respect, but while we love the convenience of the its video streaming and Alexa capabilities, its iffy audio performance-while certainly superior to that of most integrated TV speakers-leaves something to be desired. You can boost your TVвЂ™s audio and stream video over the top by connecting just one component to your TV using a single cable. This 2.1-channel soundbar boasts a built-in subwoofer, baked-in Fire TV interface, and Alexa voice control. The small star sample captured other stuff that should not be part of the star mask, so it is removed from the list.For those looking to upgrade their TVвЂ™s audio and media-streaming capabilities without dealing with a nest of cables and dongles, an all-in-one soundbar like AnkerвЂ™s Nebula Soundbar-Fire TV Edition is certainly appealing.

You need to make sure that all of the star masks look good and that none of the nebula features were captured.

Midtones: Decrease the level to apply a stretch to the newly created star mask and make detected stars brighter.

Shadows: Increase to remove background noise.

If i want to reduce star brightness I do not use binarize. I use binarize if my plan is to remove stars.

Binarize: Creates a star mask where the stars are the same intensity across the entire star.

Aggregate: Bases the mask by summing the values of all wavelet layers.

Smoothness: Depending on the size of the stars, increase the smoothness to avoid square stars.

Compensation: Increase to control how large the tiniest stars can get.

Small-scale: Increase so the size of the smaller stars are bigger than the actual stars to better protect the edges.

Large-Scale: Increase so the size of the bigger stars are bigger than the actual stars as we need to protect the edges.

Structure Growth: I want to mask to be similar size of the actual stars, so I avoid using structure growth except for the smallest stars, because they are so small.

Scale: Adjust this higher to capture the bigger/brighter stars.

You want to use this number to be lower than the value you see when you hit the edge of a star. Simply moving the mouse pointer over the image will show a вЂњKвЂќ value in the bottom status bar.

Noise Threshold: This is the limit to what is considered a star and what is consider noise.

A few of the settings change based on the size of stars IвЂ™m capturing.
