Soundbars for Better TV Sound

A TV soundbar is one of the simplest ways to upgrade the audio from your television. Its slim design allows it to sit beneath or close to your TV while providing a dedicated speaker system for television, films, music and games.

Soundbars are available in different sizes and configurations, from compact models designed for straightforward TV audio enhancement to more advanced systems offering immersive surround sound technologies. When choosing a soundbar, consider your television, room size, available connections and the type of content you watch most often.

Dolby Atmos Soundbars

For a more immersive home cinema experience, consider a Dolby Atmos soundbar. Dolby Atmos is an audio technology designed to create a greater sense of space and dimensionality in compatible content and equipment.

The exact performance and speaker configuration varies between soundbars, so check the specifications of the individual model to see which surround sound formats and audio technologies it supports.

Soundbars with Subwoofers

A soundbar with a subwoofer can provide additional low-frequency impact, helping films, music and games sound more powerful. A dedicated subwoofer handles bass frequencies separately from the soundbar, adding greater depth to effects, soundtracks and other audio.

Some soundbar packages include a subwoofer, while compatible standalone subwoofers can be added to selected audio systems. Always check compatibility before combining separate home cinema components.

Sonos & Sony Home Cinema Audio

Our home cinema collection includes Sonos and Sony soundbars and subwoofers, providing options for a variety of TV and home entertainment setups.

Compact soundbars can be ideal where space is limited, while more advanced models and separate subwoofers provide options for creating a larger home cinema sound system. Features and connectivity differ between products, so compare individual specifications to find the right solution for your television and room.

Choosing the Right Home Cinema Sound System

When choosing a home cinema sound system, consider the size of your room, the position of your television and how you want to connect your audio equipment. It's also worth considering whether you want a straightforward soundbar or a system that can be expanded with additional compatible speakers or a subwoofer.

Check your television's available audio connections and the specifications of your chosen soundbar before purchasing. Features such as HDMI ARC or eARC, optical audio, wireless connectivity and supported surround sound formats vary between products.

Browse our range of home cinema soundbars and subwoofers to find an audio setup that brings greater clarity, depth and immersion to your favourite entertainment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Cinema Systems

What is a home cinema sound system?

A home cinema sound system is designed to improve the audio experience when watching television, films and other entertainment at home. A system can be as simple as a single soundbar or can include additional components such as a subwoofer and compatible surround speakers.

Is a soundbar better than TV speakers?

A dedicated soundbar is designed specifically for audio reproduction and can provide an upgrade over the built-in speakers found in many televisions. Depending on the soundbar and TV, benefits can include clearer dialogue, greater volume, improved bass and a wider or more immersive sound experience.

Do I need a subwoofer with a soundbar?

Not necessarily. Many soundbars can be used independently and provide an effective TV audio upgrade without a separate subwoofer. Adding a compatible subwoofer can provide deeper and more powerful bass, which may be particularly noticeable when watching films, listening to music or playing games.

What is Dolby Atmos on a soundbar?

Dolby Atmos is an immersive audio technology that can add a greater sense of height and space to compatible soundtracks. The way Dolby Atmos is reproduced varies according to the soundbar's speaker configuration, processing and the room itself. Compatible content and equipment are required to experience Dolby Atmos.

How do I connect a soundbar to my TV?

Many modern soundbars connect to a compatible television using HDMI ARC or eARC, while some models also support optical digital audio or other connections. The best connection method depends on your TV and soundbar, so check the connections supported by both products before setting up your system.

What is the difference between HDMI ARC and eARC?

ARC stands for Audio Return Channel and allows compatible televisions to send audio to a soundbar or other audio device through an HDMI connection. eARC is an enhanced version with greater bandwidth and support for additional high-quality audio formats when used with compatible equipment. Your television and soundbar both need to support the relevant connection and features.

Can I use a soundbar for music as well as TV?

Yes. Many modern soundbars can also be used for music playback. Depending on the model, music may be played through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, compatible streaming services or other connected devices. Check the individual soundbar specifications to see which music and wireless features are available.

What size soundbar do I need for my TV?

There is no requirement for a soundbar to be exactly the same width as your television. Consider the available space beneath or around your TV, the size of the room and the features you require. Checking the physical dimensions of the soundbar before purchasing is particularly important if it will sit on a TV stand.

Can I add surround speakers to a soundbar?

Some soundbar systems can be expanded with compatible wireless speakers and subwoofers to create a more comprehensive home cinema setup. Compatibility varies between brands and individual products, so always check which additional speakers and components are supported by your chosen soundbar.
