It has already been confirmed that LG will be unveiling a line of audio products at this year's Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show. These devices will feature new technologies that will also complement LG's latest high-end TVs.
"LG's exciting 2017 audio lineup features powerful sound capabilities and sophisticated designs for all consumers," revealed Brian Kwon, CEO and President of LG's Home Entertainment Company.
One of these audio devices will be the SJ9 sound bar. As confirmed on the LG Newsroom, this speaker will come equipped with Dolby Atmos technology that will provide its user with a cinema-like audio experience.
The feature that will separate the LG SJ9 from its competitors is its 4K Sound capability. This characteristic, however, has nothing to do with 4K display resolution - which happens to have a growing market in today's tech industry.
The SJ9's 4K Sound feature simply points to Hi Resolution Audio. It has the capability to play 24-bit/96kHz lossless audio files with a total audio stream bitrate of more than 4,000 kilobits per second. This play in the label is said to be LG's means of tying the sound bar to the 4K TV industry, which is increasingly turning out to be a lucrative investment.
With 4,000 kilobits per second, the SJ9 can recreate the original sound that was recorded in the studio. Plus, it also has a Sound Upconverting feature that will increase the quality of standard 24bit/192Hz audio files. Its 4K Pass-Through feature will also provide its users with
The SJ9 is the first Dolby Atmos-enabled speaker from LG, but Samsung and Yamaha share the spot in the sound bar market. Samsung has the HW-K950, while Yamaha has the YSP-5600.
To date, the exact specs that the SJ9 boasts have not been confirmed yet. However, Ars Technica UK has reported that its setup is pretty similar to that of Samsung. Both of them feature upwards-firing drivers that have two smaller surround speakers and a separate subwoofer.
