Home audio systems have improved in quality and clarity, and LG now offers a variety of options for every aspect of daily life. The two main choices are soundbars and speakers.

 

Choosing the right LG audio solution

 

Navigating the decision-making process and choosing between soundbars and speakers will depend on indicators such as what and where you’re listening — and how much you want to spend.

 

Soundbars are most often linked to a TV setup, giving the viewer a more immersive experience. Speakers, on the other hand, are more suited to audio and music. 

 

The differences between soundbars and speakers

 

Sound systems come in many different sizes, designs and colours. A surround-sound setup with strategically positioned speakers, including a subwoofer, is recommended for full immersion. Alternatively, a soundbar can provide a single-unit solution with a range of speakers that produce well-rounded audio output. To give a soundbar added depth, it can also be paired with a subwoofer, making it a practical choice even when space is limited.

 

Below is a selection of soundbars and speakers that can enhance your sound experience:

 

US95TR Soundbar

The LG Soundbar US95TR improves your audio experience by dividing two-channel audio into multi-channel audio. It offers triple-level spatial sound for a more immersive experience. With a total of 15 channels (9.1.5, including triple up-firing speakers), 810W power, a new wireless subwoofer and an enhanced built-in woofer, it delivers powerful, high-quality sound. The upgraded AI Room Calibration Pro ensures optimal sound by sensing the positions of both rear speakers and the listener and adjusting the sound to its optimal settings, even if the rear speakers are placed randomly due to a lack of space. It also enhances gaming with VRR/ALLM and a Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) of up to 120Hz. And, this soundbar is equipped with the world's first centre up-firing speaker, which brings out every word of dialogue.1

Exploring different audio solutions

 

When it comes to optimising TV audio, the choice between a soundbar and a speaker setup hinges on several nuanced factors:

 

The future of sound systems for TV

Ice & Water Dispenser

Ice and water dispensers are a common feature on American-style fridge freezers. LG models are fitted with NSF-certified filters to give you clean and refreshing ice and water on demand.10 Beyond the convenience, the ice dispenser also reduces your energy consumption as it stops you from having to open your freezer to find ice, letting the cold air out.2

DoorCooling+TM

DoorCooling+TM ensures that the fridge is quickly cooled after opening the door. It blows a stream of cold air across the entire width of each drawer and shelf, cooling 35% faster than fridges with normal systems. A more consistent fridge temperature means a longer shelf life for your food saving you money and further reducing the food wastage that’s so damaging to the planet.11

LG ThinQTM

Tell your fridge exactly what you need it to do with LG’s ThinQTM Voice Assistant, and gain peace of mind with smart alerts. If you leave your fridge open the ThinQTM app will notify you while continuously monitoring your power consumption. It can also be used to control your smart refrigerator remotely.12

LG Inverter Linear CompressorTM

Compared with standard rotary compressors that use circular motion, LG’s Linear Compressor converts linear motion into cooling power much more efficiently. This reduces energy consumption and noise when compared to refrigerators with conventional motors.13

How to maintain your American-style fridge freezer
