Overview
A living room TV with thin built in speakers gets a Yamaha sound bar plus a separate wireless subwoofer for deep bass. The bar connects over HDMI eARC, rests on a console or hangs on a wall from built in keyholes, and Dolby Atmos processing adds a height dimension.
HDMI eARC passes uncompressed, high bitrate audio from the TV, and the wireless sub can go anywhere near an outlet. Streaming is Bluetooth only, with no Wi-Fi, AirPlay or surround speaker expansion listed.
Who it's for
TV watchers who want clearer dialogue and fuller movie sound without running speaker wire. Listeners who want a multi room Wi-Fi system should look at networked bars.
Pros and cons
- Wireless subwoofer for flexible placement
- HDMI eARC for high bitrate audio
- Clear Voice dialogue mode
- Bluetooth Multipoint for two devices
- No Wi-Fi streaming listed
- Rear surround speakers not offered
- Single HDMI connection to the TV
Performance notes
Atmos height comes from processing in the bar, so ceiling height and room shape affect how much overhead effect you hear. Bass output depends on where the wireless sub is placed, with corners adding weight. Clear Voice lifts dialogue frequencies, and sound modes adjust tuning for movies, music and games.
