- LG debuts the LG Soundbar, formally titled the LG S95QR, ahead of CES 2022.

- The soundbar has a 9.1.5-channel system that works well with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X content.
On Friday, LG announced the LG S95QR Soundbar and teased its new line of audio products for gamers, home theater aficionados, and music enthusiasts. The LG Soundbar has premium features like an 810W output and 9.1.5 channels of audio for realistic surround sound. This advanced home theater setup supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced to further improve the three-dimensional listening experience.
This audio system sports five upward-firing channels — three of which reside in the soundbar, while the other two sit in the individual wireless rear speaker channels. Upward-firing speaker systems reflect soundwaves from a room’s ceiling back down to the listener, which creates a more realistic sense of sound than speakers firing directly at the listener. This audio system bundle also includes a subwoofer to handle bass notes like the “boom” from an action movie or “thump” in your favorite song’s bassline.
