Know before you buy
This configuration includes seven main channels, one subwoofer, and four height channels. The four height channels, powered by up-firing speakers, bounce sound off your ceiling to create a true overhead 3D audio effect for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X content.
To take full advantage of eARC, your TV must also support an HDMI eARC port. This allows for high-quality, uncompressed audio transmission from your TV to the soundbar, though the system will still function with standard ARC or optical connections if your TV is older.
The system uses built-in microphones to measure how sound reflects off your walls and furniture. It then automatically adjusts the audio output to ensure the soundstage is balanced and optimized for your specific room layout.
The subwoofer and rear surround speakers connect to the main soundbar unit wirelessly, which eliminates the need to run cables across your room. However, each of these components still requires a connection to a standard wall power outlet.
Yes, while it is 'Roku TV Ready' for seamless integration with Roku-based TVs, it is fully compatible with any television that features an HDMI, optical, or Bluetooth output. You can manage settings and inputs via the TCL Home app regardless of your TV brand.
Ray Danz technology uses uniquely angled drivers to reflect sound off your side walls. This creates a much wider soundstage than a standard soundbar, making the audio feel more immersive and expansive without needing additional physical speakers.
