Great-looking TVs have gotten thinner, and the speakers have gotten smaller and smaller. You'll be watching a beautiful 4K movie with tinny, back-mounted speakers that are bouncing distorted sound waves off the wall.

Thus, you need backup good quality sound. A soundbar, also called a speaker bar, can best serve your purpose. Here are a few things you should consider before buying one.

Where to Place the Soundbar?

Stand in the middle of the room or apartment where you want to improve the sound quality and carefully observe where you should place the soundbar to get maximum optimal acoustical performance.

Considering the options for soundbar placement will also help you greatly in choosing one for you. For example, if you want to mount the soundbar on a wall, you'll have to purchase one with special features for mounting.

It is, therefore, necessary to decide where you should place the soundbar; on a table, stand, or cabinet, or on a TV stand, or rack, or somewhere else.

If you want to mount the soundbar on a wall, mount it close to your TV as a distance longer than 3 inches between your TV and the soundbar would delay the sound from the video, and you'll go through a poor listening experience.

In a nutshell, pay attention to the following factors while deciding the soundbar placement:

• Wall-mount: ensure the soundbar you're going to buy comes with a wall-mounting kit
• On a TV stand or rack: ensure that it fits there and gives the best sound quality.
• Is there a big enough gap between the screen and the top of your TV stand or kit rack to accommodate it?

Voice and Sound Effect

If you want to spend your money wisely, then make sure that the soundbar you select must feature the following voice and sounds effects:

Dolby Atmos

Dolby Atmos technology expands on existing surround sound systems and adds height channels, interpreting sounds as three-dimensional objects. By bouncing sound waves off the walls and ceiling, it immerses you in captivating, moving audio that feels like it's flowing all around you.

DTS: X

Just like Dolby Atmos, DTS: X is another surround sound technology that delivers cinematic, object-based sound. It doesn't require any extra height channels or a specific number of speakers to expand.

Bass Blast

Your soundbar should be featuring a bass blast for satisfying clarity along with powerful sound.

Which Sources to Connect?

Make sure your TV has a compatible HDMI ARC socket, and ensure it supports all the audio formats being sent into your TV. So, ensure while purchasing that an HDMI cable is there in the speaker bar's box.

The idea is simple- you connect all your home theater devices directly to the TV, then connect your TV's HDMI or optical output to the soundbar. It's a no-brainer since you only have to switch inputs using your TV remote.
