Sound Bars with Cinematic Sound Experience Enabled by Dolby Atmos®
LG’s new SJ9 sound bar harnesses the power of Dolby
Atmos® technology to create a rich audio experience. It is equipped
with multiple 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 sound for a more immersive experience. These audio objects are
rendered in real time such that each sound comes from its designated location.

The LG SJ9 is also equipped with 4K
Sound, and is compatible with high-quality
lossless audio files to recreate the sound recorded in the original studio. 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. It also supports 4K Pass-Through to deliver pristine sound without
compromising image quality, ensuring a perfectly synchronized audio and video
experience.

which delivers robust audio performance in a slim and efficient 38mm profile.
With TV Perfect Fit Kit, owners can integrate the SJ8 with selected LG TV sets by replacing the original stand with the SJ8 sound bar. Like the SJ9, the
SJ8 is equipped with features including 4K Sound, 4K Pass-Through and the
ability to stream content using Chromecast built-in.

Finally, the LG SJ7 is a versatile and powerful 320W
sound bar that can be positioned either horizontally or vertically. Its
flexible design provides an adaptable sound solution for any living room setup.
Use it as a powerful front-facing speaker, or surround sound with one speaker
in the front and one in the back. It also comes with a Bluetooth®
setup that users can take on the go. Its Adaptive Sound Control feature also
identifies what is playing and automatically adjusts the settings. As such, one
can expect a sonorous audio experience that matches the video content.

LG’s PJ series of portable Bluetooth speakers not only
makes a great addition to the home but is also well suited for the outdoors. Featuring
a turbine blade design that allows the sound to resonate 360 degrees and wrap
around the listener, its remarkable battery life also ensures 10 hours of fun
and entertainment. When using it outdoors, users need not worry about any
adverse weather condition as it is compliant with the IPX7 waterproof rating.
This means it can withstand immersion in water up to one meter for up to 30
minutes.

The PJ series features a modular design, so users can
tailor it to their needs and preferences. At the core of the PJ3 is a
360-degree omnidirectional speaker. The PJ6 comes with the same speaker as well
as the add-on of a radio, so users can choose between listening to their
favorite radio stations and their own playlists. The PJ9 speaker can be married
with a subwoofer to achieve a truly sonorous audio experience. Promising deep
bass, the subwoofer also acts as a Levitation Station — when activated the
speaker will suspend and rotate in midair! This stunning visual effect is
created using powerful electromagnets housed inside the Levitation Station.
