LG ELECTRONICS’ 2024 SOUNDBAR RANGE DELIVERS COMPLETE AT-HOME ENTERTAINMENT WITH RICH AUDIO

LG Electronics (LG) unveils its 2024 soundbar lineup, including the S95TR, SG10TY and S70TY models. Crafted to seamlessly complement LG TVs, these soundbars deliver an elevated home cinema experience through their robust sound quality, well-rounded features and sophisticated designs.

Creating an enhanced synergy between the soundbar and TV, the elevated audio quality of the newest  LG soundbar models enriches the home entertainment experience with a heightened sense of immersion and greater convenience. When paired with WOW Orchestra1, the soundbar and LG TV harness the full potential of their audio channels, creating an unrivalled audio experience with an enlarged soundstage and improved depth and height. The ideal choice for a surround sound experience, the new LG soundbar range deliver the quality of Dolby Atmos, driven by the advanced technology of DTS:X.

WOWCAST takes audio excellence a step further, allowing the S95TR and SG10TY models to connect wirelessly to LG TVs, providing quality sound  even when playing Dolby Atmos audio. All three new soundbar models feature the WOW interface, an intuitive and user-friendly method to  manage soundbar settings and share sound modes with the TV2.

At the forefront of the new LG soundbar lineup is the premium S95TR model, delivering an impressive 810W output and captivating surround sound through its 15 channels. The S95TR boasts five up-firing channels, including an innovative centre up-firing speaker, creating a three-dimensional audio experience with enhanced clarity and an expanded soundstage. Moreover, the angle of the centre up-firing speaker ensures a seamless audio-visual experience with precise elevation to the TV screen’s level.

The S95TR features improved tweeters for clear and precise audio, while also incorporating a passive radiator to enrich bass sounds and optimise the overall balance between the soundbar and the subwoofer. Notably, viewing quality is further strengthened in the S95TR model, designed with a matte colour palette, materials and finish to  help reduce reflections.

The SG10TY, another new LG soundbar, serves as an audio and visual companion to the company’s premium OLED TVs. WOW Orchestra, WOW Interface, and WOWCAST enable the SG10TY model to seamlessly integrate with LG OLED TVs, completing the viewing experience for a greater sense of immersion. Remarkably, connecting WOWCAST to the SG10TY model and an LG premium OLED TV helps to create a wireless home entertainment experience with no visible cables between the screen and the soundbar. This Wi-Fi enabled soundbar provides a seamless listening experience with a high-fidelity audio quality for listeners to enjoy their favourite tracks on music streaming platforms including Tidal Connect and Spotify Connect. The thoughtful design of the SG10TY aligns with the width and frame colours of LG OLED TVs, resulting in a great visual match when paired with an ultra-thin LG OLED TV.

LG will also roll out the S70TY soundbar model, ideal for LG QNED TVs with its simple and compact design. This model also features the innovative centre up-firing speaker, providing sharpened voice clarity. The angled design ensures harmonious audio and visual in alignment with the TV screen’s level.

A dedicated bracket for the S70TY model3 allows users to place the soundbar directly beneath the LG QNED TV for a refined appearance. This bracket provides a convenient solution for direct attachment, eliminating the need to drill holes in the wall during installation. The bracket also allows customisable wall-mounting of the LG S70TY soundbar at various heights or locations, providing an aesthetic setup, great convenience and an optimised sound experience.

LG Triple Level Spatial Sound technology applies channel analysis through a 3D engine to mesmerise listeners with lifelike sound and a compelling sense of space. What’s more, LG AI Room Calibration – a feature praised by both consumers and experts for its audio enhancement – rapidly analyses the environment of a room and adjusts the settings, enhancing the audio to harmonise with the room’s acoustics. New for 2024, the AI Room Calibration extends its capability to calibrate the audio of rear surround speakers, expanding audio immersion and offering more flexibility for installation.

In 2024, LG also plans to introduce new editions of speakers and earbuds to the global market. Despite its compact design, the most recent LG XO2 model offers the authentic, omnidirectional audio of the LG XBOOM 360 speaker. Featuring a distinctive conical-cylindrical design, it radiates sound in all directions, ensuring consistent, high-quality audio enjoyment for everyone in the listening space. Its compact dimensions, along with an up to 20-hour battery life and IP55 rating, increase its portability and versatility. The most recent LG XBOOM 360 speaker boasts unique 360-degree mood lighting using audio reflectors, presenting a new lighting design that emanates a sense of openness and diffusion.

LG TONE Free earbuds continue to be ideal for an on-the-go option with user-centric features and a comfortable fit. The latest T90S model offers balanced sound, improved Dolby Head Tracking and refined Adaptive ANC. Additionally, the T90S supports Plug & Wireless, allowing users to enjoy their favourite shows, movies and music on non-Bluetooth devices by using the charging case as a Bluetooth transmitter.

“LG has always been committed to delivering unmatched audio-visual experiences with superior quality, all to bring a better life to our valued customers,” said Lee Jeong-seok, head of LG Home Entertainment Company’s audio business. “We remain dedicated to providing immersive home entertainment experiences through LG’s premium soundbar products, ensuring our customers enjoy the very best with further enhanced with surround sound optimised for LG OLED TVs and LG QNED TVs.”
