Immersive 5.1 Channel Home Audio
The JBL BAR-500-MK2 is a 5.1 CH soundbar system designed for immersive home theater audio. It includes a dedicated 10" wireless subwoofer that delivers deep bass down to 40Hz. The main bar houses five racetrack drivers and four tweeters for detailed sound reproduction.
Ideal For Movies And Music Lovers
This system suits viewers who want Dolby Atmos height effects and room-filling sound without running cables to a separate subwoofer. It supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision pass-through via HDMI 2.3 for modern video sources. Buyers needing multiple HDMI inputs for several consoles or players should consider a different solution.
Single HDMI Input With eARC
The soundbar provides one HDMI video input and one HDMI output with Enhanced Audio Return Channel. This single input connects your TV or a primary source, while eARC sends high-bitrate audio back from the display. If your setup requires switching between multiple HDMI devices at the soundbar, this limitation matters.

Questions about this item
How do I install the soundbar using the included L-shape wall-mount brackets and template?
Attach the two L-shape brackets to the wall using the supplied template for hole spacing, then hang the 37 W x 2.0 H x 4.1 D soundbar on the brackets; the step people miss is checking the template alignment before drilling.
What maintenance will the wireless subwoofer and remote control need later?
The 10 subwoofer has no user-serviceable parts; only the remote control requires maintenance — replace its two batteries when range or responsiveness drops.
At what volume level does the 40Hz – 20kHz frequency response start to compress during sustained playback?
The system is rated to 40Hz – 20kHz at –6 dB; pushing well above reference level for extended periods will trigger the built-in limiter first, compressing dynamics before any driver reaches thermal limits.
