We are talking about the 5.1.2 system with an integrated two speakers at the top of the soundbar that use the roof to reflect sound in the direction of the viewer. The subwoofer is external and wireless.
The LG SJ9 Dolby Atmos Soundbar provides object-based sound. In addition to the normal multi-channel, it is possible to add a series of objects, now precisely identified various sounds such as the hum of a fly or the noise of a helicopter or an airplane. These sounds are identified as objects in the process of content production. This way you can control playback accurately, assigning them to certain speakers and following the shift in time and space. You can see the LG SJ9 Soundbar video below:
