Product details

The coordinated designs of LG soundbars and LG TVs are designed to fit both your home and each other. Every design element has been carefully selected to ensure they blend stylishly into your décor.
Take advantage of all the features designed for ultimate compatibility. You can control the soundbar's power, volume and even sound modes from a single LG TV remote - that's convenience at its best. The 2021 updated AI processor ensures that your LG soundbar produces better sound. Thanks to TV Sound Mode Enablement, the soundbar can harness the processing power of the TV and AI Sound Pro to make everything you hear clearer and more consistent - even if it's from different content sources. Since 1977, MERIDIAN has provided innovative and elegant high-performance audio solutions that have revolutionized the way people enjoy music and movies. As a pioneer in high-resolution audio and a master of digital signal processing (DSP), MERIDIAN plays an integral role in the development and introduction of groundbreaking technologies. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X make sound resound all around for a more realistic listening experience. Movies and music come to life with clear and intense sound.
