JBL Bar 500 5.1ch Soundbar with Multibeam and Dolby Atmos Black

5.1ch Soundbar with Multibeam

The JBL Bar 500 is a 5.1 channel soundbar system designed for home theatre enthusiasts who want immersive surround sound without a complex speaker layout. It includes a wireless subwoofer to handle low frequencies. The system suits living rooms where running rear cables is impractical. It is not for buyers who require discrete rear satellite speakers for precise positional audio.

Dolby Atmos and PureVoice clarity

Dolby Atmos and MultiBeam technology create a 3D soundstage that places effects overhead and around the listener using beam-forming from the main unit. PureVoice dialogue enhancement automatically optimises voice clarity so speech remains intelligible during loud action scenes. The 590W total system output delivers high volume headroom for dynamic movie soundtracks. It is not for users who need calibrated reference-level monitoring for professional mixing.

Wireless subwoofer and streaming setup

A 10 wireless subwoofer pairs automatically with the soundbar, requiring only a power outlet near the preferred bass position. Built-in Wi-Fi supports AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music and Chromecast built-in for access to over 300 streaming services. HDMI eARC connects to a compatible TV with a single cable for simplified control. It is not for installations that lack a spare HDMI eARC port or a stable Wi-Fi network.
