LG Electronics has confirmed the rollout of its 2023 soundbar line-up, including the new SC9, SE6 and S77 models.
The new soundbar models, spearheaded by the SC9, offer seamless integration with the company’s TVs for an effortless user experience and more authentic sound to deliver an immersive entertainment experience.
When paired, 2023 LG soundbars and LG TVs provide new features such as WOW Orchestra, which uses all of the two products’ audio channels to create an expanded soundstage with improved height, depth, and power. With more synergy for a multi-surround sound solution, listeners can enjoy Dolby Atmos and IMAX Enhanced powered by DTS:X.
The soundbars also bring the WOW Interface to the Home Dashboard on selected LG TVs, enabling users to easily manage the soundbar settings and share sound modes with the TV. The addition of WOWCAST allows the 2023 soundbar models to connect wirelessly with selected LG TVs.
The sophisticated designs of the new soundbars complement the minimalist look of the latest LG TVs. A new bracket for SC9 enables users to place the soundbar directly below an LG OLED C2 or C3 TV. The bracket, which attaches to the rear of a compatible LG TV, can be used to wall-mount or stand-mount.
The 2023 soundbars deliver accurate sound reproduction and enhanced clarity with LG Triple Sound technology, which includes triple up-firing speakers. New for this year, Triple Level Spatial Sound technology employs channel analysis performed by an HRTF-based 3D engine to add a virtual mid-layer for a more lifelike sound experience.
LG Triple AI Sound Optimiser intelligently boosts the new soundbars’ performance and produces upgraded sound via the function, which converts any audio source, including two-channel audio, into surround sound utilising every available audio channel.
LG AI Room Calibration analyses the environment of the room, then applies that information to the soundbar’s settings to improve overall balance, clarity of vocal performances, movie dialogue, and accuracy of the sound image.
The new models also incorporate the company’s AI Sound Pro feature, which analyses audio signals and automatically applies the most appropriate settings.
The new LG soundbars are compatible with a range of services, devices, and connectivity features including music streaming services such as TIDAL Connect. Designed with gamers in mind, the soundbars also support VRR to reduce screen tearing, and ALLM to eliminate lag while also permitting 4K at up to 120Hz pass-through.
One of the new for 2023 soundbars, the SE6 is an all-in-one soundbar designed for smaller spaces. The combination of a 25mm tweeter and four passive radiators helps provide sound with powerful bass, while the inclusion of Triple Level Spatial Sound and Triple AI Sound Optimiser further enhance the listening experience.
The SE6 also supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:Xfor three-dimensional audio. When combined with selected LG TVs, it presents the expanded sound of WOW Orchestra and WOW Interface. The soundbar is compatible with multiple AI services, such as Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Apple AirPlay 2, and music streaming platforms, including TIDAL and Spotify.
The S77 is the company’s new mid-range soundbar with triple up-firing speakers featuring dynamic, 3.1.3-channel surround sound. It also features premium audio technologies including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, and is equipped with WOW Orchestra and WOW Interface for seamless compatibility with selected LG TVs.
