JBL Australia and New Zealand has introduced the BAR series line of high-performance soundbars.

The new product boasts a slender design and features specifically for the residential market.

Available in four models: BAR 2.0 All-In-One, BAR 2.1 Deep Base, BAR 5.1 Surround and Bar 9.1 ATMOS, the series aims to enhance, expand and elevate the sound and give home entertainment lovers a range of customisable audio options.

BAR 2.0 is a simple soundbar that’s designed to enhance TV sound and is ideal for small rooms, apartments or second living rooms. Engineered with Dolby Digital, JBL Surround Sound and a smart sound mode, it delivers incredible sound every time regardless of what you watch or listen to.

The BAR 2.1 turns living rooms into cinemas or concert halls by delivering 300W of JBL Signature Sound alongside a 6.5” wireless subwoofer. It can connect to a TV through HDMI or stream music from a phone with built-in streaming services.

One of the stronger products in the range, the BAR 5.1 soundbar gives users the ultimate home cinematic experience with its 550W of power, 10” subwoofer and the JBL MultiBeam technology. Users can feel the visuals on the screen as the 5.1 features a built-in Ultra HD 4K pass-through with Dolby Vision whilst enjoying Chromecast, Airplay 2 and Bluetooth.

“Our Soundbar range gets better and better each year. JBL takes its experience in cinema and stadium sound and delivers it in a powerful and high-quality soundbar range,” HARMAN country manager of ANZ Marcus Fry says.

“TVs are getting bigger and better with 8K technology and the sound needs to match. With the current environment of staying home and staying safe, entertaining yourself and your family has never been easier.”
