MultiBeam 3.0

Wherever you're sitting, you'll be in the middle of the action. Our MultiBeamTM 3.0 delivers a wide, cinema- like soundstage that makes every high-speed chase or epic fight scene come alive. The sound beams perfectly fill your room, delivering truly immersive, lifelike, and realistic sound reproduction.

 

PureVoice 2.0

Never miss a softly spoken line or a whispered plot twist. JBL's own PureVoice 2.0 automatically raises or optimizes the dialogue, based on both ambient sound in the scene and your soundbar's volume. So you'll always hear every word, clearly and consistently, in cinema-quality sound.

 

Smart Details

Hear all the subtleties in a film's sound mix, just like you would in the theater. From a creaking door to a faraway shout, experience every detail the way the filmmakers intended in a clear, balanced sound field, thanks to JBL's own advanced sound enhancement technology.

 

Easy sound calibration

Every room is different. Your soundbar discovers how sound reflects off your walls and furniture. So it'll deliver the best 3D surround effects, tuned specifically for your space and with any TV.

 

HDMI eARC with 4K Dolby Vision passthrough

No matter what brand your TV is, enjoy uncompressed Dolby Atmos surround sound through a single HDMI cable thanks to the HDMI eARC connection. The HDMI input connection also offers 4K video quality from a compatible video player or gaming console.
