LG is turning back the years with two new design styles for its sound systems at CES next month – although it promises that the most advanced sound yet.
The Korean giant has announced new bars and audio systems for the January tech junkies’ fan fest. As part of its Music Flow smart audio ecosystem, new SH8, SH7 and SH6 sound bars sound bars will sport a sleek, minimalist nineties design that blends in seamlessly with almost any interior décor. Suitable for home theaters, the advanced SH8 and SH7 come with wireless subwoofers that provide rich bass tones to complement the speaker’s audio output. The SH6, on the other hand, is comprised of six independent speaker drive units and employ an innovative air duct structure that effectively highlights deep tones, allowing the SH6 to deliver powerful sound from its compact single-body speaker system.
Crucially, the new sound bars boast a simple one button setup, making the home cinema system easy to install while access to basic sound bar functions directly on the TV remote makes operation as straightforward as possible. They also support the company’s new Adaptive Sound Control (ASC) feature, allowing the devices to automatically change sound settings to suit a range of media types in order to get the most out of a wide variety of content. Each as Bluetooth, Google Cast and Auto Music Play capabilities.
Also on show will be the company’s newest X-Boom audio systems which come complete with a range of features to get any party started. Three new systems, designed to look like eighties’ boom boxes, will be on show: two LG X-Boom Solo models (OM7560 and OM5560) and the CM9960. X-Boom models are positioned as total entertainment solutions, providing both powerful sound and wireless connectivity. Both X-Boom Solo models boast entire audio systems housed in single speakers, giving them the ability to deliver intense audio output that is perfect for parties and other large gatherings. The X-Boom’s Sampler Creator feature gives users the ability to record any sound on their smartphones and wirelessly beam it to the X-Boom, which can then be added to the digital soundboard which DJs can select at the touch of a button.
Best of all is their Party Thruster function. It’s a little lever that allows users the ability to create stunning multicolored light shows that sync perfectly with the system’s audio output. The ornate display of flashing lights and high quality audio makes any party unforgettable, the LG guys promise.
“The Music Flow series has been a tremendous success in giving LG a significant footprint in the consumer audio business,” said Brian Kwon, President and CEO at LG’s Home Entertainment Company. “Our newest Sound Bars and X-Boom audio systems present an excellent opportunity for LG to draw attention to its advanced audio products at the largest consumer electronics tradeshow in the world.”
The products will be available in the GCC in 2016.
