JBL Cinema SB595: 3.1.2 Soundbar with True Dolby Atmos

The JBL Cinema SB595 is a 3.1.2-channel soundbar system built around true Dolby Atmos playback. Two dedicated up-firing drivers bounce height effects off the ceiling, a dedicated centre channel keeps dialogue anchored to the screen, and a separate wireless subwoofer handles the low end, so film soundtracks get the scale and placement that a television’s built-in speakers cannot approach. Total system output is rated at 440 watts.

It is a complete home-cinema upgrade in two boxes: the bar sits under the screen, the subwoofer goes wherever the bass sounds best, and a single HDMI eARC cable to the television carries everything, including Atmos soundtracks from streaming apps.

Key features

• 3.1.2-channel system with true Dolby Atmos and dedicated up-firing drivers
• 440 W total maximum output: 200 W from the soundbar and 240 W from the subwoofer
• 6.5-inch wireless subwoofer for deep, flexible bass placement
• Dedicated centre channel for clear, intelligible dialogue
• Seven drivers in the bar: three racetrack drivers, two tweeters and two up-firing drivers
• HDMI eARC, HDMI input and optical input for TV and sources
• Bluetooth streaming for music and podcasts from a phone or tablet

True Dolby Atmos with up-firing drivers

The SB595 decodes Dolby Atmos soundtracks and reproduces their height layer with two physical up-firing drivers rather than processing alone. Rain, aircraft and ambient effects are placed above the listening position, while the three racetrack drivers cover the left, centre and right channels and the two tweeters keep high-frequency detail clean. The result is a front soundstage with genuine height and width from a single bar under the television.

A wireless 6.5-inch subwoofer for real bass weight

Low frequencies are handed to a separate subwoofer with a 6.5-inch driver and its own 240-watt amplifier. Because it connects to the bar wirelessly, it can sit beside the sofa or in a corner where room acoustics flatter it, rather than wherever a cable happens to reach. Explosions, scores and action sequences gain the physical weight that a bar alone cannot produce, while music benefits from a proper foundation under the midrange.

A dedicated centre channel keeps dialogue clear

Centre-channel information carries almost all film and television dialogue, and the SB595 gives it a driver of its own instead of folding it into the left and right channels. Voices stay locked to the screen and remain intelligible at modest volumes, which matters for late-night viewing and for dialogue-heavy drama where turning the whole system up is not the answer.

Simple connections for TV and music

HDMI eARC carries high-quality audio, including Atmos, from the television in a single cable, and an additional HDMI input plus an optical input cover games consoles, set-top boxes and older televisions. When the screen is off, Bluetooth streaming turns the system into a room speaker for music and podcasts from a phone or tablet.

For viewers who want genuine Dolby Atmos height effects without an AV receiver and a room full of speakers, the Cinema SB595 is a focused answer: a 3.1.2 bar with a dedicated centre channel, a wireless subwoofer and the connections a modern television setup actually needs.
