The Bar 500 is designed for people who want a strong home theater setup that’s simple to install. This unit includes a 5.1-channel soundbar, a 10-inch wireless subwoofer, 590W of total system power, Dolby Atmos and MultiBeam surround sound, PureVoice dialogue enhancement, HDMI eARC with 4K Dolby Vision passthrough, built-in Wi-Fi with AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music, and Chromecast built-in, and you’re able to control everything through the JBL One app.
MultiBeam creates a large surround sound field with the ability for you to hear sound from both sides of the room, left and right, when it bounces off your walls. When using Dolby Atmos for film or television, you can perceive objects moving over you, creating a greater sense of immersion. To adjust the amount of surround sound you receive from your system, use the free JBL One app to make these adjustments for your space and personal preference.
PureVoice enhances voice clarity, even at high levels, using JBL’s algorithm. The 10-inch wireless subwoofer delivers incredibly accurate, powerful lows that bring your favorite movies to life and add serious bottom end to your music. The wireless subwoofer means you can place it wherever there’s a power source in your room.
With built-in Wi-Fi, you can access over 300 streaming services via AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music, and Chromecast built-in. So if you’d like to stream music, podcasts, or internet radio directly to your soundbar, you can now do so. Using the JBL One app, you can adjust many soundbar settings, including a quick, easy calibration called Easy Sound Calibration that automatically configures the sound for your specific room.
HDMI eARC lets you connect your soundbar to your TV with a single cable, while 4K Dolby Vision passthrough ensures that when you connect a streaming device or gaming console via HDMI to the soundbar, you don’t lose any picture quality. The soundbar is about 40 inches wide and 2.2 inches tall, so it should fit under most televisions. Wi-Fi connectivity also supports automatic software updates, so you always have the latest features.
The JBL Bar 500: 5.1-Channel Soundbar combines immersive Dolby Atmos audio, a robust wireless subwoofer, and effortless streaming in one package. If you’re looking to elevate your movie nights, gaming sessions, and music listening, this could be an ideal option.
