The sound stick also has an outstanding sense of encirclement! JBL Bar 5.0Alliance at MultiBeam

As a simple pronoun, speakers have also evolved a lot.

Although the Sony HT-A9 introduced last time is a product of more than 200000 yen, it is also widely praised and has been out of stock since it was sold spontaneously. It has been nearly 10 years since the 2012 Dolby Atmos film Merida and the Forest of Horror was released, and the current sale of AV amplifiers should be taken for granted by Dolby Atmos, as well as BD tape recorders / players, flat-screen televisions, etc., in a perfect environment.

But at the beginning, the popularization did not proceed smoothly. Enthusiastic AV fans set up the corresponding Dolby Atmos environment immediately after the AV amplifier began to correspond. As one of them, the author believes that this is a great progress since the debut of discrete 5.1ch and Dolby Digital in 1992. I even thought this would happen again in the DVD era when home theater equipment exploded.

As you know, the reality is not so smooth. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Auro 3D and other so-called "stereo" the latest surround mode, in order to reproduce the height of the space, the need to set up speakers on the ceiling, increasing the difficulty of home settings, hindering the popularity. Of course, Dolby's loudspeaker, which uses the reflection of the ceiling to reproduce the sound in the height direction, has also appeared since the early days, and so on, and products that are easy to set up have also appeared, but even with standard 5.1ch surround sound, speakers placed at the back of the room can easily become a hindrance. In addition, when the number of speakers increases, this alone increases the difficulty of implementation.

In this way, although it is difficult to popularize Dolby Atmos, the technology of "Dolby Atmos high virtual driver", which can also virtually reproduce high-direction sound in the previous 5.1ch system, has also appeared in leisure products. Dolby Atmos corresponding model. Installation is difficult, and installation becomes easy through the use of popular wireless loudspeaker technology. When this situation is in place, any attractive product or movie will be detonated in the future. It was HT-A9 who caught up with that time.

HT-A9 's strength is real, but the price is also very formal, not everyone can sell more than 200000 yen immediately, this is the bottleneck. However, as has been described, the recent Dolby Atmos correspondence model of the sound bar has also increased rapidly, thanks to technologies such as Dolby Atmos Haight virtual instrument, its effect can also fully enjoy the stereoscopic surround sound. In such a model, the author himself has achieved surprisingly rich three-dimensional surround sound, which is JBL's "Bar 5.0 MultiBeam" introduced this time (actual sales are about 39800 yen).
