Overview
JBL builds this compact model as an all-in-one soundbar that uses MultiBeam and Dolby Atmos processing to spread sound around the room from one compact cabinet. A built-in bass port replaces a separate subwoofer, and Wi-Fi brings AirPlay, Alexa and Chromecast streaming.
Small rooms get Atmos, streaming and clear dialogue from one box with no subwoofer to place. Bass from a built-in port is limited by the slim cabinet, and the surround effect relies on wall reflections instead of rear speakers.
Who it's for
Made for apartments, bedrooms and small living rooms where a subwoofer would crowd the floor. Home theater builders after physical rear channels will outgrow it.
Pros and cons
- No subwoofer to place
- Streaming via AirPlay, Alexa and Chromecast
- PureVoice lifts dialogue during effects
- Wall bracket in the box
- No separate subwoofer for deep bass
- Virtual surround only, no rear speakers
- Listed power figures disagree
- Short one-year warranty
Performance notes
MultiBeam bounces sound off side walls to suggest surround, so room shape and wall distance shape the effect. The bass port reinforces low notes from inside the bar, and PureVoice processing lifts voices when effects get busy.
