The first thing you will notice when you try the LAP340 is differentiation through design. The model is a combination of speakers and subwoofer, sealed in a single rectangular piece – the sound card – which, by the way, is beautiful and discreet. It is 35mm thick, weighs 3,8kg and was built to the weight of TVs up to 55 inches (according to company information), but we recommend caution if it's not a flat TV. Yes, you can save space on hack putting the SoundPlate under the TV.

O SoundPlate works on a system 4.1 channelsUsing four speakers front (with neodymium magnets) and two subwoofers built into the underside – in all, that's 120 watts RMS of power.

We did the test comparing the SoundPlate with Home Theater of the same brand, which costs R$989,10 in the store Submarino. although the new device be more practical to install and use, the sound quality was a must for the Home Theater which is more powerful and costs almost half the price. It is worth evaluating whether the practicality of the SoundPlate da LG compensates or not in your room, under these conditions.

Returning to the characteristics, the model has a special feature to give more immersion when watching action movies and series: the Cinema Sound. According to the manufacturer, it increases the sound sensation surround, making the bass even more noticeable.

On LG TVs launched from 2013 onwards, it is still possible to synchronize controls and functions through technology Sound Sync Wireless.

The configuration is done through the TV sound menu, then press the “TV LG” button on the remote control. SoundPlate.

This makes the room free of wires and speakers scattered around the environment (which tends to be ugly in environments without built-in sound), as well as making it easier for you to connect directly smartphones, tablets e mp3 players with connection bluetooth quickly and practically.
