JBL Bar 300: Compact Design, Extraordinary 3D Sound

Why Choose a Soundbar with 3D Sound?

Surround sound has evolved from simple 5.1 systems to Dolby Atmos® 3D surround sound, offering audio engineers the ability to place you directly within the action. While conventional soundbars provide a basic home audio experience, they often lack the technology to produce the detailed surround and height effects that elevate entertainment. JBL brings this advanced experience into the home with the JBL Bar 300.

The JBL Bar 300 features exciting 3D home theater sound in a compact form factor. Finely tuned full-range drivers and side-firing tweeters enhance details, allowing you to hear and feel more. A built-in bass port delivers deep, punchy bass from its all-in-one design. Powered by JBL MultiBeam™ technology, it provides wide, spacious surround sound without extra speakers or wires. With built-in Dolby Atmos®, the JBL Bar 300 offers an immersive and exciting 3D sound experience, bringing movies, music, and games to life.

The Bar 300 Acoustic Design

The JBL Bar 300 soundbar is equipped with four front-firing full-range racetrack drivers and two 3/4-inch (20mm) silk-dome angled tweeters. JBL engineers have precisely calculated the angle of the side-firing horns to maximize sound dispersion with high efficiency. The integrated bass port delivers deep, punchy bass, impressive for a compact, all-in-one unit. Combined with the side-firing tweeters, the JBL Bar 300 enhances everything from music to intense movie soundtracks.

Dolby Atmos®

Dolby Atmos® represents the future of home cinema audio. It's the audio equivalent of 8K ultra-high-definition video, offering the next generation of surround sound technology where sound moves around you in a three-dimensional space. This technology builds upon established channel-based 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound systems by adding an overhead sound layer, creating a more immersive home cinema experience.

Traditionally, surround sound effects are confined to specific channels directed to individual speakers. Object-based technologies, like Dolby Atmos®, allow sound designers to move sounds freely, designating up to 128 objects or audio pathways. The Dolby Atmos® system converts this data, recreating a fuller, multidimensional sound experience for your entertainment.

MultiBeam™ Technology

After extensive research and development, JBL presents MultiBeam™ technology. This electro-acoustic system uses beamforming to replicate the impressive surround sound expected from multi-channel audio systems. Unlike conventional soundbars that project sound forward, JBL soundbars with MultiBeam combine digital signal processing (DSP), front-firing speakers, and twin side-firing drivers. These drivers beam sound at angles towards the side walls of a room.

The key to generating accurate side wall reflections lies in the sharp directivity pattern across a wide frequency range. These reflections bounce back to the listening location, creating a spacious surround sound effect.

PureVoice Dialogue Enhancement

Dialogue is crucial in movie soundtracks but can often be challenging to hear clearly. PureVoice technology provides voice enhancement for crystal-clear dialogue, ensuring you never miss a word.

Conventional dialogue enhancement methods use equalization (EQ) to boost vocal frequencies, which can negatively impact other parts of the soundtrack sharing those frequencies. JBL PureVoice technology utilizes digital signal processing (DSP) to identify human speech within TV or movie programs. It extracts voice content for analysis and improvement, dynamically enhancing dialogue loudness for exceptional intelligibility without affecting other sounds. This enhancement occurs automatically, eliminating the need to adjust the remote control.

JBL ONE App

The JBL ONE app offers a simple and seamless way to enhance your everyday listening experience. It provides equalization settings for personalized sound, allows streaming from various music services, and enables control over all your JBL speakers. Access the app via [App Store] or [Google Play].

Sound Calibration

Room acoustics, particularly side walls, significantly impact speaker performance. Proper calibration during setup is vital for optimal sound. Traditional calibration often requires a wired microphone and complex setup. The JBL Bar 300 simplifies this with an embedded microphone for automatic sound calibration, ensuring the best possible sound regardless of room shape or size.

The system collects acoustic information by measuring sound reflections to the microphone. It analyzes these reflections, which arrive at different times, and reconstructs them to estimate surround sound performance in your specific space. Using a set of filters, the sound calibration corrects loudspeaker EQ for consistent performance and great surround sound in any room.

Connectivity

The JBL Bar 300 offers up-to-date connectivity. With HDMI eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), it supports uncompressed and high-bitrate audio formats, including object-based 3D audio for superior sound quality. Compatible with eARC-enabled TVs, the JBL Bar 300 allows Dolby Atmos 3D surround sound to pass through from over-the-air broadcasts, TV streaming apps, Blu-ray players, or game consoles. Experience multi-dimensional sound with enhanced audio details and depth in your living room.
