Immersive sound. You know it when you feel it. Chills on the back of your neck. Your chest tightens. Your breath catches in the back of your throat. That’s the power of Bose Smart Soundbars: To elevate everything you watch with an unmatched combination of Dolby Atmos® and exclusive TrueSpace technology.
The library of Dolby Atmos-encoded content is growing, but much of what’s available today remains 5.1 or stereo sound. That’s why our smart wireless soundbars feature TrueSpace. It analyses and upmixes signals other than Atmos to provide fully immersive, multi-channel sound for all entertainment —so everything gets an added layer of immersion and realistic height effects.
What is a soundbar, and how does it work?
A soundbar is a long, slim speaker that is designed to enhance the sound quality of your TV or music. It works by using a combination of multiple speakers and sometimes a separate subwoofer to produce high-quality surround sound.
Are soundbars better than TV speakers for home audio?
Generally, soundbars are better than TV speakers for home audio. TV speakers are often small and have low sound quality, which can affect your overall listening experience. Soundbars, on the other hand, are designed to produce high-quality sound, enhance dialogue clarity, and offer immersive audio that can transform your TV watching experience.
Can a Bose Soundbar be used for music playback as well as TV audio?
With our soundbars, you can enjoy more than just TV audio – they are perfect for music playback too. Using music services, our soundbars deliver exceptional audio quality for all of your listening needs.
What is the difference between a 2.1 and 5.1 soundbar?
In a soundbar, the numbers 2.1 or 5.1 indicate the number of channels it has. A 2.1 soundbar consists of two channels (left and right), a 5.1 has five channels (left, right, centre, left surround, and right surround) and one subwoofer. With a higher number of channels, the sound experience becomes more immersive.
