LG Electronics has begun the worldwide rollout of the 2021 LG Soundbar lineup, taking advantage of LG TV’s AI Sound Pro feature.
Audio from the TV is played through the soundbar via TV Sound Mode Share, and users can switch between the soundbar and the TV using the TV remote.
The 2021 lineup is compatible with multiple voice assistants. With support for Apple AirPlay 2 , customers can stream, control, and share music and other content directly from their iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
The new models feature Meridian Audio tuning and Meridian technology, with a new feature, Meridian Horizon technology, the result of LG’s long-term partnership with Meridian Audio that up-mixes two channel stereo content into multichannel audio.
All the 2021 soundbars from LG support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for dynamic three-dimensional audio, and Dolby Vision compatibility via 4K pass-through. LG’s soundbars also combine up-firing front height channels with wireless rear up-firing height channels.
Many of the new models are Hi-Res Audio certified, with HDMI eARC support and uncompressed Dolby Atmos audio.
AI Room Calibration offers optimal sound in any environment, using spatial awareness technology to measure a room’s dimensions then customising the soundbar’s audio settings in accordance with the specific characteristics of the space.
