The soundbar is a useful audio device that allows us to have a much better sound than that of the integrated speakers of many televisions, without the difficulties of installing and configuring a home theatre: all we have to do is place the soundbar under the TV, connect it with a single cable and that’s it – sometimes not even that, if the device works entirely via Bluetooth or wi-fi). Here the technical features to pay attention to before making the purchase:<\/p>\n Here is a small selection of some of the best models on the market:<\/p>\n Samsung HW-N300\/ZF<\/a> is a low-end soundbar featuring a minimal design, good technical characteristics and Surround Sound Expansion technology for a full realistic virtual surround thanks to its 4 speakers: two woofers and two tweets. Discreet connectivity: Bluetooth – to connect to the TV without wires-, a USB port – unfortunately 2.0 version -, an HDMI arc and wireless input for connection to Samsung TV.<\/p>\n Bose Solo 5<\/a> soundbar is a mid-range soundbar with simple design and good performance: the sound is well balanced despite only two internal speakers. A notable feature is the dialogue mode that allows you to clearly hear the dialogues in the movies and other broadcasts. The connectivity is decent – Bluetooth for streaming and connection to voice assistants – but you definitely miss an HDMI port and a subwoofer. In summary: an easy-to-use product with good sound that – considering the low price – has some shortcomings on connectivity.<\/p>\n
\nBut how does a soundbar work? The soundbar – unlike a classic home theatre system with 4-5 speakers positioned in different areas of a room – uses the so-called “virtual surround”: a psycho-acoustic effect generated by 5-7 speakers placed inside the same soundbar, which simulates the effect of surround. Of course, the final result may not be as good as a traditional sound system, but it is a great compromise for not cramming the room we use to watch movies and TV series with speakers. All the space we will need is that of a good piece of furniture, like the PIXEL TV-stand by Target Point<\/a>.
\nA further incentive to purchase a soundbar derives from the observation that – unfortunately – new televisions are increasingly thinner and have integrated speakers with poorer performance: in many cases the purchase of a support audio system becomes almost a need.<\/p>\n\nTechnical characteristics of a soundbar<\/strong><\/h4>\n
