![]() ![]() ![]() LG SPD7 – Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, 3.1.2 channel, 380W LG SP8 – 3.1.2 channel, 440W, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Meridian tuning LG SP9 – 5.1.2 channel, 520W, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Meridian tuning LG SP11R – 7.1.4 channel, 770W, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Meridian tuning One step up, the 5.1-channel SP7 model maintains the all-in-one design but adds tuning by Meridian Audio, DTS Virtual:X and more oomph (440W). It offers HDMI connectivity as well as Bluetooth, and comes in a choice of charcoal or grey. The SP2, for example, is billed as a 2.1-channel, 100W lifestyle soundbar with onboard subwoofers. LG's new entry-level TV speakers are typified by a more compact, all-in-one design that includes HDMI connectivity plus a softer, more home-decor friendly appearance. Products at this end of the spectrum (such as the SP11R, SP9 and SP8) also boast compatibility with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Chromecast built-in and Apple AirPlay 2.īut it isn't all flagship models. Also on the menu from LG are premium 7.1.4, 5.1.2, and 3.1.2 models, each of which boasts support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio along with LG’s Meridian sound technology. The South Korean tech giant has announced a full suite of eight 'bars to go with its new OLED Evo and QNED TVs for 2021 – and with a 42-inch OLED made by LG Display now in the pipeline, a soundbar with a similar form factor (see above) makes perfect sense. On paper, the spec-sheets for LG's latest slew of soundbars for 2021 look impressive. The sound was middling, but the product showed immense promise if LG could achieve a better integrated, more dynamic and solid sound. While the LG SL9YG didn't exactly receive a glowing review, the impressive sense of Dolby Atmos height featured again, as did the premium feel, and we also heard floor-shaking bass. It proved a solid three-star soundbar when we considered the sound quality for bass softness and dynamic expression, but its attractive build and Dolby Atmos support remains a good advert for the format. Built-in Google Assistant is on board too. Google Chromecast integration means you can ‘cast’ music and video content from compatible apps (such as Spotify, Tidal, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video) straight to it and it's handy for grouping other Chromecast-enabled speakers together for multi-room playback. It does a grand job of spreading soundtracks far and wide (and, to a lesser extent, above) thus offering a potential solution if introducing multiple speakers to the lounge is a hard no. When we reviewed LG's cheapest Dolby Atmos soundbar of 2019, the LG SL8YG (the "uncommonly affordable" model), we were impressed with what we heard in terms of Dolby Atmos presentation. ![]()
