Features and Benefits

750W Maximum Output Power and 10" Wireless Subwoofer

Dolby Atmos®

Hear a plane fly overhead. Feel a crowd rush past you. Or get into the energy of your favorite dance playlist. Dolby Atmos® sound effects allow you to hear incredible, cinematic sound from all directions.

MultiBeam™ 3.0

You'll be at the center of the action, no matter where you're sitting. MultiBeam™ 3.0 provides a wide, cinematic soundstage that brings any high-speed race or epic battle to life. Sound beams perfectly fill the room, ensuring truly realistic, immersive, vibrant, and natural sound.

PureVoice 2.0

You won't miss a single quiet or whispered word. JBL's PureVoice 2.0 automatically increases or optimizes dialogue volume based on the background noise and your soundbar's volume. So you'll always hear every word spoken clearly and without interruption in cinematic quality.

SmartDetails

You'll hear every nuance of the sound mix in a movie, just like in a cinema. From the creak of a door to distant shouts – feel every detail as the filmmakers intended, in a clear and balanced acoustic field thanks to JBL's own advanced sound enhancement technology.

Simple Sound Calibration

Every room is unique. Your soundbar detects how sound reflects off walls and furniture, providing the best 3D surround effects, tailored specifically for your room, on any TV.

HDMI eARC with 4K Dolby Vision Passthrough

Thanks to the HDMI eARC connector, you can enjoy uncompressed Dolby Atmos surround sound with just one HDMI cable on any TV. The HDMI input also provides 4K video quality from a compatible video player or game console.
