Sound bar speakers: room-filling sound with less clutter

Add big sound to your TV without a roomful of speakers. Sound bars require minimal space and wiring, and their sleek designs complement today's flat-panel TVs. Most sound bars have their own built-in amplification, so you won't need to use a home theater receiver. Some models use advanced surround processing and carefully aimed speaker drivers to simulate the effects of a full home theater audio system.

Our take on the LG NB2420A

by Marshall Chase

The picture quality of today's HDTVs is fantastic. But frankly, the sound can be about as flat as the panel. LG's NB2420A pumps out dynamic, full-bodied sound that will make your TV's tiny speakers seem downright laughable. This sound bar uses virtual surround sound processing to create a wraparound effect that draws you into the action. You'll love the way it brings the soundtracks of DVDs, Blu-ray movies and high-def TV shows to life. You won't even need a receiver or amplifier — this sound bar has built-in amplification powering its six drivers, for clear dialogue and spacious, lifelike effects.

An easy going system

The NB2420A is just about the perfect size for typical 42" TVs. You'll find that it fits perfectly on many tabletops, or you can wall-mount it using the included hardware. And talk about simple — there's even an optical cable included so you can make an easy connection to your TV or disc player to enjoy the cleanest possible sound.

Not just for television

You can also play music through the NB2420A. Built-in Bluetooth® lets you stream your playlist wirelessly from your compatible smartphone, tablet or laptop computer. You can also use the back-panel USB input to enjoy music files from a thumb drive.

    Sound bar:
    • 160 watts (80 watts x 2)
    • four 2-1/2" midrange drivers
    • built-in Bluetooth® for wireless audio streaming from compatible smartphones, tablets and laptops
    • two 1" silk dome tweeters

      LG Sound Bar

      Written By EthelG, Del Rio,TX on Monday, January 07, 2013
       
      Bought this sound bar for my husband as his birthday present to compliment the 43" flat screen TV he has in his man-cave. To my surprise, it didn't really compliment the TV from a sound point of view. Yes, it looks sleek and nice, mounted underneath the TV, but the sound quality is below-average. I didn't expect this sound quality from the LG brand. This model promotes mediocre highs and mids and is missing the bass that would make it a great surround sound system. Sadly, I had to reconnect the old-school surround sound, minus the center and back speakers to make this home-theatre quality. I should have invested another 100 bucks to buy a sound bar that integrates a bass/subwoofer. Guess I'm not getting rid of the old-school speakers after all.
      Pros:
      Sleek & Stylish
      Cons:
      Mediocre/below-average sound

      Sound as uninspiring as stale bread.

      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      I bought this sound bar for my LG47 7600 tv. To my surprise, the sound produced was lifeless, bland, with no structure whatsoever. Yes, it costs a measly price, but it is an LG after all. I am currently using my tv's speakers --set up chiefly for bass- to complement the flat and cheap sound coming out of that LG sound bar. I wish I had spent an extra $100+ to purchase a unit with a subwoofer (from Yamaha or Polk). I love my LG television but this product ought to be phased out at once because it does nothing but besmirch this great brand.
      Pros:
      Compact, elegant, Bluetooth capability.
      Cons:
      Poor sound quality. No bass at all.
