Refined sound bars bring superior performance,
smart features and unprecedented integration
VIZIO (NYSE: VZIO), the #1 best-selling Sound Bar brand in the
U.S.,* today unveils an updated lineup of sound bars for every need
and at every price point. VIZIO is continuing the unstoppable
momentum from last year’s launch of the industry-rocking VIZIO
Elevate Sound Bar--recognized for its innovation and
performance--with a robust slate to make every home theater dream
come true. From simple, affordable solutions that upgrade a TV’s
onboard audio to fully immersive, room-shaking Dolby Atmos® and
DTS:X® cinema sound, there really is a VIZIO sound bar for
everyone.
The latest lineup boasts a refined industrial design with a
beautiful textured surface that’s easy to clean. As part of VIZIO’s
never-ending innovation to integrate TV and audio, the stands of
select-model VIZIO TVs now seamlessly support VIZIO’s sound bars
for a modern, minimalist aesthetic. And when connected to select
VIZIO TVs, the new sound bars display their settings menus on the
TV screen for quick, easy adjustment. The redesigned sound bar
remote (available on 4.1-channel models and above) features a new
backlit display panel and an improved directional pad to provide
more precise control, even in a darkened living room. New Effect,
Level and Setup buttons are handy for first-time configuration,
toggling between the various audio modes to suit a listener’s
current mood or preference (music, movies, video games, etc.), and
to make quick everyday adjustments. HDMI ARC connectivity across
the entire lineup simplifies setup and control of the sound bar,
requiring only the TV remote, while assuring the highest audio and
video quality.
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio technologies--delivering lifelike
surround sound from every angle, even from above--are available on
more models, bringing the latest immersive soundtracks on movies,
shows and video games to more listeners than ever. A variety of
speaker modes assures superlative audio quality for any customer’s
need and virtually any size or shape room, and Dolby Audio and DTS
Virtual:X enhanced audio offer even more options in all models.
VIZIO sound bars are also Voice Assistant-ready, compatible with
all major voice assistant ecosystems and devices (sold separately),
so users can operate those devices hands-free and enjoy upgraded
audio. Now your VIZIO sound bar can be the ultimate amplified smart
speaker.
“VIZIO’s sound bars deliver the ultimate concert, movie and
gaming surround sound experience right to your living room,” said
Bill Baxter, Chief Technology Officer, VIZIO. “As the leading sound
bar brand in the U.S., we continue the innovation with our latest
collection. Each elegantly designed sound bar delivers an amplified
experience that will change the way you listen to music, watch TV
or play games, with powerful Dolby Atmos and DTS:X cinema sound on
select models."
Elevate
At the summit of the VIZIO sound bar family is the Elevate, the
most awarded product in the company’s history. Its revolutionary
Adaptive Height Speakers employ a custom chipset architecture to
intelligently detect Dolby Atmos and DTS:X signals, automatically
rotating upward for overhead audio, and down for superior music and
5.1 content. Elevate technology will also be made available in more
VIZIO sound bar series in the future.
M-Series
M-Series continues to “punch above its weight,” with premium
audio performance from separate woofers, tweeters, and passive
radiators providing a wider soundstage, deeper bass and clearer
highs. The VIZIO M-Series 5.1.2 Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos and
DTS:X (M512a) leads the pack, featuring two dedicated upfiring
speakers for true overhead surround, bringing this state-of-the-art
technology to more listeners than ever. The latest M-Series also
includes the elegant All-in-One (“AIO”) and 5.1 sound bars.
V-Series
The V-Series offers an essential upgrade for anyone looking to
improve their TV sound and complete the entertainment experience.
V-Series sound bars incorporate full-range drivers to create a
wider audio spectrum in addition to a redesigned subwoofer for
tighter, more impactful low frequencies, all with Dolby Audio and
DTS Virtual:X for virtualized surround sound. The 5.1 models offer
versatile new low-profile satellite speakers, ideal for the Front
Surround and Dual Stereo modes. The V-Series collection includes a
2.0 stereo sound bar (coming soon), 2.1, an All-in-One and 5.1
models.
Pricing and Availability
VIZIO’s 2022 sound bars will be available online and in-store at
Walmart, Sam’s Club, Target, Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, and
more.
