The LG C3 OLED TV is a mid-range 4K TV with a lot of features, including a huge emphasis on sound quality. The company recently announced the SC9S soundbar, an upgrade packed with features designed to pair perfectly with the C3. The key element here is the bundled bracket, which let’s you attach the soundbar directly to the TV – making it great for 55, 65, and 77-inch screen sizes. The SC9S is also compatible with LG’s C2 series OLED TVs, as well.
LG’s new soundbar also comes with “Wow Synergy,” a feature which features three additions to boost the compatibility and integration between the TV and soundbar. Those features are “WowCast,” which lets you stream lossless audio via Wi-Fi when using an optional transmitter, and “Wow Orchestra,” a sound processing mode that combines the TV’s speakers with the soundbar’s audio output.
The SC9S itself is a 3.1.3-channel soundbar with processing for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, 400W power, and IMAX Enhanced support. It also has HDMI input, HDMI output (with eARC), pass-through for 4K 120Hz, VRR, and ALLM for gaming. Other streaming services include AirPlay 2 and Chromecast built-in, along with Tidal Connect and Spotify Connect with support for Google Assistant and Alexa.
Most impressive is LG’s Triple Level Spatial Sound Technology, which adds a virtual mid-layer to dialogue and height effects. It also has AI Room Calibration to analyze the sound in the room and AI Sound Pro to automatically adjust the settings to get the best sound for movies, music, or any other type of content.
When testing the LG C3 OLED TV and SC9S soundbar, the results were impressive. Movie and TV dialogue was clear and the Atmos height effects were dramatic. With the “Wow Orchestra” feature turned on, the sound became even bigger and brighter, creating a near-surround sound. However, there was some slight lag between the soundbar and the TV’s built-in speakers, which could not be fully corrected.
Overall, the LG C3 OLED TV and SC9S soundbar make an impressive combo. The soundbar has great sound quality and the new features allow for an even more immersive experience. It is clear that LG has gone the extra mile to ensure both devices integrate perfectly with one another. For those looking to upgrade their home-theater, the LG C3 OLED TV and SC9S soundbar is an excellent option.
