LG BRINGS EXPANDED 2017 AUDIO LINEUP TO CES

From Dolby Atmos® Sound Bar to Party
Speakers,

LG Has Something to Appeal to All Audiophiles in
2017

LAS VEGAS, January 3, 2017 — This week at the Consumer Electronics
Show (CES) in Las Vegas, LG Electronics (LG) is showcasing an expanded lineup
of audio products to appeal to a wide range of consumers from avid audiophiles to
casual listeners who prioritize portability and versatility. LG’s newest audio
devices implement emerging technologies to maximize synergy with LG’s premium
TVs and to broaden the possibilities of where consumers can take their favorite
music.

Next Dimension of TV Sound Bars

LG’s
new SJ9 sound bar harnesses the power of Dolby Atmos® technology, to
recreate the ultimate cinema audio experience while its sleek design adds an instant
aesthetic accent to any home. In order to create such powerful, textured sound,
the SJ9 is equipped with multiple cutting-edge speakers – including two
powerful up firing speakers – to envelop the listener from every angle.

Dolby Atmos delivers moving audio that can be precisely
placed anywhere in three-dimensional space, including overhead, to create realistic and breathtaking sound for a more immersive and emotive
experience. Sounds are represented as independent objects by
employing sophisticated metadata to describe the location and size of
individual audio objects in the 3-dimensional listening space. These audio
objects are rendered in real-time such that each sound comes from its
designated location, even directly overheard the listener.

The
LG SJ9 is also equipped with 4K
Sound 1, (Hi
Resolution Audio) compatible with high quality lossless audio files to recreate
the sound recorded in the original studio. In addition, the SJ9’s Sound Upconverting feature increases the
quality of standard audio files to 24bit/192Hz to enhance subtle details and
nuances of each track. The SJ9 supports 4K Pass-Through to deliver pristine
sound without compromising image quality, ensuring a perfectly synchronized
audio and video experience.

LG
is also unveiling its elegant SJ8 sound bar which delivers robust audio
performance in a slim and efficient 38mm profile. The advanced sound bar
integrates seamlessly with LG’s new range of 2017 TV models. With TV Perfect Fit Kit, owners can integrate the SJ8 with certain LG TV sets by replacing the original
stand with the SJ8 sound bar. The SJ8 is equipped with many of the
same stunning features as the SJ9, including 4K Sound, 4K Pass-Through and the
ability to stream content using Chromecast built-in.

Finally,
the LG SJ7 is an incredibly versatile and powerful 320W sound bar that can be
positioned either horizontally or vertically depending on the audio experience
the listener desires, due to its split bar design. The two halves of the SJ7
connect wirelessly together providing outstanding stereo sound. One of the
halves has a built-in battery allowing it, at the flip of a switch, to be used
as a rear speaker delivering a more robust surround sound experience. Flip another
switch to portable mode and use it as a wireless Bluetooth speaker anytime, anywhere.

Powerful LOUDR Speakers for Fun

Designed
with party-goers and music makers in mind, LG’s LOUDR sound systems each pack
powerful audio capabilities to create the perfect party atmosphere.

The
LOUDR CJ98 is capable of generating 3,500W of powerful sound, instantly
creating a lively club-like atmosphere. The CJ98’s Party Thruster allows the DJ
to slide a throttle forward to control the build-up of a dance track in order
to perfectly time the bass drop and lighting effects. The CJ98 is also equipped
with an array of unique controls, looping buttons and sharing features. Karaoke
fans will be pleased with the CJ98’s diverse range of vocal effects and the
Karaoke Star feature, which suppresses the vocals from songs and allows singers
to change the audio track’s key.

The
LOUDR OJ98 is another stylish all-in-one speaker system designed to boost the
party atmosphere, using a folded horn design hidden inside its chassis to
efficiently produce acoustic pressure. The OJ98’s Sparkle Lighting pulses and
reflects light in rhythm to the music. To add excitement to any party, the OJ98
is equipped with the Party Kick Starter feature which simulates the sound of a
revving race car engine. Designed specifically for DJs, the OJ98’s 109cm height
is optimized to put Party Thruster and other controls within perfect reach.

During
CES, LG is also unveiling the portable party audio system model FJ7, designed to
maximize portability and 400W high output sound without distortion. Since mobility
is a priority, the FJ7 comes with convenient handles and wheels to make it
convenient to take the music wherever the event may be.

“LG’s
exciting 2017 audio lineup features powerful sound capabilities and
sophisticated designs for all consumers, from audiophiles demanding absolute
sound fidelity to more casual listeners,” said Brian Kwon, president and CEO of
LG’s Home Entertainment Company. “The stunning new audio products on display at
CES this year demonstrate LG’s commitment to offering a diverse range of audio
products that are perfect for any place and any occasion.”
