With audio systems getting more and more attention from gadget lovers, we can see the popularization of home theaters we depended on several speakers strategically placed throughout the room with precise cabling, today it is possible to have a single bar with unified speakers (and a subwoofer) to get the message across. 1z1z5b
Bringing refined design and cinema quality into the home, LG Sound Bar SL9YG It is one of the best models from the manufacturer available on the market. Plus she's still a speaker intelligent, which responds to voice commands with the Google Assistant. Check out the detailed review of this product below.
Design 145g70
A elegance e sophisticated solid bar matches the profile of current smart TVs, with a brushed steel look and touch-sensitive controls. On the front there is the volume indicator and the multipurpose text area, which indicates the connection type and selected profile, for example.
At the top we have more detailed information: in addition to the two front indicators, there are still controls on/off, play/pause, mute the microphone, open the voice assistant and the Function key. Also on top is a discreet cover that hides the USB connection, still within easy reach.
It is worth ing that remote control is a practical addition, serving as a shortcut to the audio profiles and EQ effects, as well as having a built-in microphone to call the Google Assistant. Another useful feature is the “Night” mode, which removes the bass without losing the quality of the mids and highs, for when you don't want to disturb those who live next to you (or your neighbor).
sound quality 146w5x
A LG SL9YG uses a speaker setup 4.1.2 channels, with two up-pointing speakers, two on the front and two on the side. Are 500w built-in amplification, a decoding system Dolby Atmos and DTS: X, high-res audio (192 kHz/24-bit) and there's even the option to add a pair of rear speakers (to the spectator's couch) for a 6.1.2 system.
The sound is guaranteed meridian quality, as LG already does in other sound equipment, such as check it out on XBOOM Go PK7. When watching videos, watching the news or a series via streaming, it is noticed that the dialogues are clear (medium and high), but it is with a blockbuster with for the standard Dolby Atmos that we noticed the real power of the sound bar.
The Dolby is currently one of the loudest on the market, bringing a 360 degree sound effect even in this compact soundbar. The bass pulled by the subwoofer, like explosions, punches and the car engine, is spectacular. Rock, pop and electronica hits don't disappoint either, regardless of range and EQ.
Configuration and assembly 4f2o42
be ed on the table or mounted vertically on wall, the soundbar intelligently recognizes the mounting position via an integrated gyroscope, and configures the speakers accordingly. While the side speakers (surround) keep their channels, the front and vertical speakers alternate their functions in a very curious way, taking advantage of the sound reflection on objects in the room.
Instead of just turning the SL9YG counterclockwise (as if the front speakers were facing the ceiling), the solution when placing it on the wall is another: the front speakers are pointed down, hitting the floor, then the ceiling and then reaching your ears.
The clarity of details, in this case, depends on the surface being under their. If it's a rug, for example, the audio might be a little absorbed; if it's a smooth surface, the answer comes out better.
different from robust SoundPlate, launched by LG as an attempt to replace the home-theater in 2014 (today it closely resembles what the “soundbar” became), the SL9YG may be more suitable for those who already have the TV installed on the wall. The 122 cm width and 14 cm depth make it difficult to position it next to the base of a television (depending on the model), or other equipment that takes up space on a piece of furniture. Detail: it is about the width of a 55 Inch TV.
Connectivity 5h1q1v
The list of connections is quite extensive: there are WiFi, USB, Bluetooth 5.0, entry HDMI audio, one output HDMI ARC and the entrance optics. The HDMI inputs allow 4K/60fps image -through (HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision) and the HDMI ARC (acronym for Audio Return Channel, or Audio Return Channel) allows the audio stream send and return between the soundbar and the TV. We miss for the standard HDMI 2.1 — with bandwidth for 8K transmissions — and therefore to the standard EARC, which is a higher capacity version of HDMI ARC.
The connection to the subwoofer is wireless, it only needs to be plugged into an electrical outlet to work. The pairing worked automatically, without major problems and without losing the connection even after weeks of use.
If you don't have a specifically HDMI audio output on your TV, just plug all the devices you want into it (such as video games and Blu-Ray player) and plug the LG SL9YG via optical input on the TV – at the cost of not having the Dolby Atmos function anymore, not ed with that input.
When connected wirelessly via the TV's Bluetooth, a small delay in relation to the image, which unfortunately is still common in speakers of this type, even when dealing with a very high quality product. Handling audio coming from cellular or Wi-Fi (the Spotify, for example, recognizes the SL9YG without any problems) playback happens perfectly.
In summary, with the vast list of connections, the soundbar becomes a great and practical additional speaker that works intuitively, housing the most popular types of wired and wireless gadgets.
Special Features n59k
The soundbar is smart, as it works in a similar way to the Google Home, taking into the chromecast, with for the Cast button. This makes it possible to send videos and music from smartphones and Google Chrome navigation tabs to the device, in a practical way over Wi-Fi.
There is a catch: when connected via optical cable to the TV, the voice command “Ok, Google” is disabled while the television is on, which does not happen if the connection is Bluetooth. So there is this minimal “sacrifice” of depending on your connection type to dictate when the voice assistant will or will not work.
As we mentioned when talking about the configuration, the sound from the soundbar is also launched to the ceiling (or to the floor, with ceiling rebound) and this surround technology is precisely one of the strengths of SL9YG with the systems Dolby Atmos e DTS: X. While Dolby's debuted a few years ago in movie theaters (and soon arrived in living rooms), DTS:X technology is more familiar to those who have receivers and amplifiers at home. The curious thing is that both are competitors, so here you have the “best of both worlds”, in a single product.
Even though there is no for HDR10+, it still has -through. HDR/Dolby Vision to the TV. That is, the image arrives in vivid, mega-realistic colors and with brightness of up to 10.000 nits on your television. The difference, compared to HDR10+ (another High Dynamic Range standard), is that Dolby's technology can 10x the brightness of HDR.
Another interesting feature is the connection to the app LG WiFi Speaker, the manufacturer's Wi-Fi player for Android e iOS, which also acts as a companion application for soundbar configuration. It is sad, however, to note that LG did not include this soundbar in its main connected home (IoT) and artificial intelligence app, the LG ThinQ.
Conclusion 60664y
A LG Sound Bar SL9YG brings together performance, elegance and practicality in a single set. The model matches well with compact environments and offers great power and sound quality. The bass pulled by the subwoofer is spectacular. Even better if you combine it with an LG smart TV, like the OLED C9.
The inclusion of Google Assistant makes this soundbar smarter, although the company has made some strange decisions: the absence of EARC e HDR10 + puts the sound bar at a slight disadvantage compared to the competition.
When installing the LG SL9YG preferably horizontally in front of your TV, the resulting performance is sure to please with a large, dynamic soundstage. The sound is well present in the front, which is to be expected given the absence of rear speakers. Although there is no dedicated center speaker, there is clarity in the dialogue in movies and series.
The soundbar (or sound bar) sells for approx. R$3.499,99 No. Submarino. If we consider that it is a system 4.1.2 complete, gathered in a soundbar (and a subwoofer), with great sound quality, we see then a practical way to understand the cost-benefit relationship of the product. The overall performance of LG Soundbar SL9YG is excellent, with detailed and accurate audio quality that works well with TV, movies and music. We recommend!
