CES 2019 sees LG continue its collaboration with Meridian Audio with the launch of 3 soundbars, all offering Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support-- the SL10YG, SL9YG and SL8YG, featuring the promise to go "far beyond far-tuning or adopting new feature-sets."

The soundbars carry a pair of Meridian audio-enhancing technologies, namely Bass & Space (improves the soundstage for "rich, uncompromising sound and strong bass") and Image Elevation (boosts the sense of immersion for the listener) to deliver powerful surround sound. Meanwhile Upmix technology upmixes 2-channel audio to distinct channels without generating distortion while maintaining tonal balance.

To further boost audio, customers can add the optional Wireless Rear Speaker Kit. Built-in Google Assistant provides voice commands such as "Hey Google, increase the volume," as well as connectivity with any number of compatible smart products. Thus, one can simply ask "Hey Google, ask LG to turn on the purifier" to the soundbar, allowing for home control without leaving the couch.

The soundbars are easily installed flush to the wall, thanks to a profile just 57mm deep. An integrated gyroscope gauges the position of the product (whether fixed to a wall or on a flat surface) to adjust sound directionality.

“LG’s 2019 soundbars deliver amazing performance tuned in close partnership with Meridian Audio with the convenience of smart AI connectivity,” LG says. “The high-quality sound and versatility of our newest lineup takes home entertainment to a whole new level and satisfies a growing demand for premium soundbar solutions that provide impressive listening experiences, greater convenience and stylish, modern aesthetics.”
