Improve your TV's sound quality with slim audio speakers designed to provide a more immersive listening experience, sitting below TVs to boost built-in speakers with dedicated channels.
A soundbar is a slim, rectangular speaker designed to improve the audio quality of televisions by providing clearer sound with more dynamic range. Soundbars have multiple built-in speakers and audio components packed into an elongated box that sits below a wall-mounted TV or on a media stand below the TV.
Soundbars were developed as an alternative to bulky home theater systems with multiple speakers and components. They provide significantly better sound quality than most TV's thin built-in speakers, which lack bass and stereo separation. Soundbars have dedicated left, center and right channels to create more immersive audio with wider soundstaging.
Many soundbars now support premium surround sound formats like Dolby Atmos for three-dimensional audio with height channels. Higher-end models may include a wireless subwoofer for thunderous bass, and some even have satellite speakers for rear surround channels. Most soundbars connect via HDMI ARC or optical audio and are designed for simple plug-and-play setup.
With sleek, minimalist designs optimized for today's thin display panels, soundbars are an excellent one-box solution to upgrade a TV's audio performance without cluttering a room with components and cables.
