LG unveils New Home Theater Soundbar Speakers with AI Sound

LG Electronics unveiled its 2021 LG sound bars for TV, delivering the rich sound quality and smart features. The home surround sound system takes advantage of LG’s AI Sound Pro technology. The adaptive smart sound algorithm automatically analyzes the content and optimizes the parameters of the audio system. Using the TV remote control, you can switch between the wireless home theater speakers built into the TV and an external Dobly Atmos soundbar.

All new home entertainment systems support Dolby Atmos and DTS: X technologies. Many LG speakers received the Meridian digital signal processing system, and some received the ability to work with several voice assistants at once (Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Siri).

The home theater system series includes devices with support for various formats – 3.1.2, 5.1, and 5.1.2, as well as 7.1.4. Power ranges from 380 to 770 watts.

Among other things, it is worth mentioning the AI ​​Room Calibration function (not supported by all models): it allows you to quickly adjust the acoustics to the characteristics of a particular room, getting the highest quality sound.
