Soundbars are a popular choice today for many home entertainment systems. They offer advantages such as compact size, easy set-up, and improved sound quality compared to the speakers found in most TVs. Soundbars enhance the viewing experience by providing high quality audio to complement the performance of HDTV video. They are especially beneficial for flat panel TVs which have limited space for attached speakers.
Most soundbars connect to the system via HDMI since they are typically used with large screen HDTVs, however other connections can improve the ability for a Soundbar to seamlessly integrate with an existing home entertainment system. Multiple inputs will support a variety of sources and allow for an improved audio experience for TV, movies and gaming.
Some soundbars can simulate a surround sound experience through the use of DSP and speakers directed to bounce off the walls of a room, reflecting the sound to the listener. While not quite as good as a full 5.1 or 7.1 surround system, a Soundbar is the perfect solution for customers looking for enhanced sound quality in a space constrained environment.
