What’s a soundbar?
Soundbars explained – how they enhance TV audio experiences.
A soundbar is the last piece of the puzzle to complete your TV audio experience. Its capacity to deliver the ultimate surround sound from the left, right and center channels ensures you enjoy richer and more immersive sound. Plus, it is stylish, compact and easy to set up with your TV.
Three soundbar types
You have three basic choices. You can go for a one-body soundbar with an imbedded woofer, a soundbar with a separate subwoofer, or a complete soundbar system with a subwoofer and rear speakers.
Soundbar + subwoofer
Boost your bass
A soundbar with a subwoofer might be all your space needs to create a dynamic audio experience. Subwoofers boost your bass, which is great for soundtracks and low-frequency sound effects like explosions. Plus, they are non-directional so you can put one wherever you want in your room for a balanced and powerful audio experience.
Soundbar + subwoofer + rear speakers
Cinematic sound experience
A soundbar with separate rear speakers delivers cinematic experiences at home. Placed just behind and to the left and right of the listener, rear speakers work in concert with the soundbar to enhance the spatial positioning of sound effects, creating a three-dimensional surround sound that envelops you and makes you feel like you’re in the middle of your content. It’s the ultimate home entertainment experience.
All-in-one soundbar
Space-saving sound excellence
How about a simpler option? Featuring a built-in woofer, the one-body soundbar occupies minimal space while delivering the exceptional sound experience you seek. If you're looking for an even more powerful audio encounter, we recommend you consider the soundbar with a subwoofer option. You can also purchase a separate subwoofer or rear speakers as standalone items.¹
