What is a Soundbar, and What are the Benefits of using one with an LCD TV?
A soundbar is a consumer audio product that fits under your HDTV and provides high-quality audio using very few speakers. A soundbar produces better surround-sound-like audio than many entry-level home theater receivers (which typically include 5 up to 9 speakers) without more speakers’ cost, wiring, and complexity.
A soundbar is a slimmer, sleeker version of a home theater surround system. It’s designed to accompany your HDTV and takes less space than a 5 speaker system + subwoofer. As a result, it provides great surround sound at a fraction of the cost of a full-blown home theater.
In many ways, Soundbars can improve your picture quality. This is because the sound from a soundbar comes from the same place as the video coming from your TV. This eliminates any delay between what you’re seeing and hearing, making everything feel more “real.” It’s also all in one place so that you won’t have a bunch of wires running from your TV to a separate speaker.
How to Choose the Best Soundbar for your needs
● Choose your budget: From as little as Rs 8000 to over Rs 70000.
● How many HDMI sources will it need to connect? (Think about the other devices you want to use with this Soundbar, such as a games console or Blu-ray player.) You may need an additional optical cable for these other devices.
● Does it need to accommodate your TV’s remote control?
● The market is flooded with many brands and models, and you can find a wide range of Soundbars depending on your TV brand; Samsung, Panasonic, LG, Sony Bravia LCD LED screens, and others will have their soundbar speaker products designed for them.
● A soundbar can be a great improvement to your TV’s sound quality and is an easy way to enhance the entertainment experience at home.
