Soundbars

A soundbar is the simplest way to fix thin, muffled TV sound. One slim speaker sits below or in front of your TV, connects with a single HDMI cable, and gives you clear dialogue, wider sound and real bass. Modern soundbars also support Dolby Atmos, which adds overhead effects for a cinema-like experience. At Pro Audio Video you can buy soundbars from Sonos, Bose, JBL, Bowers & Wilkins, Denon, Marshall, Sony, Samsung, Edifier and Honeywell, from compact 2.0 models to flagship 7.1.4 systems with wireless subwoofers and rear speakers.

Types of soundbars

• 2.0 / 2.1 soundbars: a single bar, or a bar with a subwoofer. Great for bedrooms and smaller TVs.
• 3.1 and 5.1 soundbars: a dedicated centre channel for clear dialogue, and rear speakers for surround sound.
• Dolby Atmos soundbars (5.1.2, 7.1.4 and so on): upward-firing drivers bounce sound off the ceiling for overhead effects.
• All-in-one soundbars: a single bar with built-in bass and virtual surround, ideal when you do not want extra boxes.
• Modular systems: brands like Sonos, Bose and JBL let you add a subwoofer and rear speakers later.

Features to look for

• HDMI eARC: connect to your TV's eARC port so the TV remote controls volume and lossless Dolby Atmos passes through.
• Dolby Atmos and DTS:X: for immersive height effects from streaming apps, Blu-ray and games.
• Dialogue enhancement: makes voices clearer at low volume, useful for news and late-night viewing.
• Room calibration: some soundbars measure your room with a microphone and tune themselves.
• Music streaming: Wi-Fi with AirPlay 2, Chromecast or Spotify Connect gives better sound quality than Bluetooth.
• Detachable rears: JBL Bar models have rear speakers that detach from the bar.

Choosing the right size

Choose a soundbar about the width of your TV or slightly narrower. For 43 to 55-inch TVs, compact bars work well; 65 inches and above suit full-size bars. Check the height so the soundbar does not block the TV's IR sensor or the bottom of the picture, and confirm wall-mount options if your TV is on the wall.

Soundbar vs home theatre system

A soundbar is the best choice for a tidy, simple setup in most living rooms. A full home theatre with an AV receiver and separate speakers gives more power, better separation and room to upgrade, and suits larger rooms and serious film fans. Many customers start with a soundbar and move to a speaker package later.

Connecting your soundbar

Connect an HDMI cable from the soundbar's HDMI eARC port to the TV's HDMI eARC/ARC port, and enable HDMI-CEC on the TV. Set the TV's audio output to the external speaker and, for Atmos, enable "Passthrough" or "Auto". Use optical only if your TV has no HDMI ARC.

FAQs about Soundbars

Will a soundbar work with my TV?

Any TV with HDMI ARC/eARC or an optical output will work. HDMI eARC gives the best quality and is needed for lossless Dolby Atmos.

Do I need a subwoofer with my soundbar?

Many soundbars include one. A subwoofer adds the deep bass that slim bars cannot produce, which matters most for films. Check if your model supports an optional wireless subwoofer.

What is Dolby Atmos on a soundbar?

Dolby Atmos adds height to the sound. Atmos soundbars use upward-firing speakers that reflect sound off your ceiling, so effects like rain and aircraft seem to come from above.

Can I add rear speakers later?

With modular systems from Sonos, Bose, JBL and some others, yes. Check the product page or ask us which rear speakers are compatible.

Which soundbar is best for a 55-inch TV?

A soundbar 80 to 100 cm wide with a subwoofer suits a 55-inch TV. For an immersive experience, choose a Dolby Atmos model.

Can I play music from my phone on a soundbar?

Yes. All our soundbars support Bluetooth, and many add Wi-Fi streaming with AirPlay, Chromecast or Spotify Connect for higher-quality music.

Can I mount the soundbar on the wall?

Most soundbars include or offer a wall bracket. Mount it just below the TV, keeping upward-firing Atmos drivers unobstructed.
