Overview
JBL's Bar 1000MK2 (model JBLBAR1000M2BLKAM) is a 2.0-channel soundbar rated at 960 watts of power, connecting over HDMI, Wi-Fi, or optical. It measures 5 by 47.4 by 2 inches, weighs 32.1 pounds, and mounts to a wall or sits below a TV.
At nearly 4 feet wide, this is a full-width soundbar meant to span a large TV rather than sit on a small stand. The 960-watt rating and multiple connectivity options point to a flagship-tier JBL unit built for a dedicated home theater setup.
- 2.0-channel, 960W soundbar
- HDMI, Wi-Fi, and optical inputs
- 47.4 in wide, wall-mountable
- 32.1 lb, black finish
Who it's for
Suited to a buyer with a large TV and the wall or console space for a 47-inch-wide bar who wants high power headroom and wireless streaming via Wi-Fi. Not a fit for a small room or a TV under about 55 inches, where the bar would visually overhang the screen.
Pros and cons
- 960W power rating for a large room
- HDMI, Wi-Fi, and optical connectivity
- Wall-mountable at nearly 4 feet wide
- 47.4-inch width needs a large TV or console
- 32.1 lb weight makes wall mounting a two-person job
- 2.0 channel count, not a larger discrete surround layout
Performance notes
A 2.0-channel layout with 960 watts on tap puts the emphasis on raw output and clean HDMI and optical pass-through rather than a large discrete surround-speaker count, and Wi-Fi connectivity allows wireless streaming alongside the wired inputs. At 32.1 pounds, wall mounting needs solid hardware and stud placement.
