Head to the rear of the soundbar, and you are met with several connections.
5.1 SOUNDBAR DRIVERS
There are three drivers in the bar, one for each of the front left, center, and right channels in a 5.1 system. But, as we’ll get to, the system packs a punch for its size. The size honestly made me worried that Vizio had possibly gone too compact (are we making a home theater for ants?) and sacrificed sound in the process. The sub enclosure houses a 5-inch woofer, and the speakers are easily dwarfed by some older Vizio rears I dug up for comparison. The rear speakers and subwoofer, though, are petite. The bar itself isn’t incredibly different from recent soundbars that have sat on my media stand: At 36 inches long, it’s just two inches shorter than the Sony HT-G700 that sat there before it. Vizio says it took a low-profile approach to this year’s new budget system, which may be a bit of an understatement. It’s probably as close to plug-and-play as a soundbar system can get. There’s no Wi-Fi to configure with this bar – something we’ll touch more on later – and there aren’t any other setup hoops to jump through. Be ready to act quickly and connect your phone via Bluetooth or stream something on your TV, because the Vizio voice prompt does get old after the first few times it announces that it’s searching for an input.īeyond that minor annoyance, that’s it.
But it really is just a matter of plugging your bar and subwoofer into power, making a physical connection between the bar and your display, running the included speaker wire from the surround sound speakers to the subwoofer, and powering everything up.įrom there, the bar will automatically search for a content-producing input. Admittedly, there’s not a ton here to slow you down. The system includes the bar itself, a pair of surround sound speakers, and a wireless subwoofer.
