LG announced its 2021 AV products early this year, including new LCD LED TVs and new OLED TVs. However, the Korean manufacturer also comes with a line-up of sound bars, consisting of old (2020) models and completely new models. The top model is the DSP11RA.
New sound bars from LG
The LG soundbar line-up for 2021 consists of no less than 13 models, 8 of which are completely new. The two top models are the new DSP11RA and the DSN11RG from 2020. These models are largely comparable, with wireless rear speakers that are included, a 7.1.4-channel playback, 770 Watts of power, Dolby Atmos and DTS: X, HDMI eARC , Chromecast, WiFi and bluetooth. However, the DSP11RA has been expanded even further, including Works with Alexa, Apple AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect.
The models from the DSN8YG and higher are equipped with AI Room Calibration. According to LG, the sound bars use machine learning to automatically adjust the audio output to the dimensions and other characteristics of the room. Most soundbars in the range also come with HDMI eARC, wireless speakers can be connected to it and WiFi and bluetooth are available. In addition, most models have support for Dolby Atmos and DTS: X.
LG also markets sound bars that are all about design. For example, the Éclair is a compact stylish soundbar with a chic designed subwoofer. The Home Décor sound bars have a fabric and wood print finish.
