Know before you buy
The SN8YG is a 3.1.2 channel system, meaning it uses the soundbar and wireless subwoofer to create an immersive soundstage. It is also 'Wireless Surround Sound Ready,' which allows you to add compatible rear speakers later if you want a more traditional 5.1.2 setup.
Yes, the system supports 4K passthrough with HDCP 2.3, ensuring your high-resolution video signals pass through to the TV without quality loss. It also features HDMI eARC, which simplifies the connection and allows for high-quality audio formats like Dolby Atmos to travel from your TV to the soundbar.
AI Sound Pro automatically analyzes the content you are watching in real-time. It adjusts the sound profile—such as boosting dialogue in news or expanding the soundstage for action movies—so you don't have to manually change settings between different types of media.
Yes, you have several options for wireless music playback. The soundbar includes built-in Wi-Fi, Chromecast, and Bluetooth 5.0, allowing you to stream high-resolution audio directly from your smartphone or tablet.
No, the Google Assistant is built directly into the soundbar. You can use it to control your music, check the weather, or manage other smart home devices using voice commands without needing an additional speaker in the room.
Meridian is a leader in high-end audio engineering. Their technology is integrated into the SN8YG to help process digital signals more cleanly, resulting in a more balanced, natural, and immersive sound performance compared to standard soundbars.
