LG BEGINS ROLLOUT OF 2022 SOUNDBAR LINEUP IN SINGAPORE

LG’s New Soundbars Deliver Immersive, High-quality Audio, User-friendly Features, and Eco-conscious Design   SINGAPORE, 10 May, 2022 — LG Electronics (Singapore) announced the rollout of the 2022 LG Soundbar lineup, delivering a range of stellar, new models that elevate the home entertainment experience with immersive sound, convenient features, and stylish, eco-minded design.   Taking home cinema to a whole new level, LG’s latest high-end soundbars[1] provide powerful and precise multi-channel audio that leverages the world’s first center up-firing speaker to create an exceptionally realistic soundstage. The center up-firing speaker enhances the clarity of dialogue and ‘positions’ sounds more accurately in space to make movies and other content feel more lifelike.   The Flagship Model LG S95QR As the flagship model of the 2022 lineup, the S95QR is the complete package and an ideal solution for home cinema buffs, offering an 810W output, 9.1.5 channels and center up -firing speakers. LG’s top-of-the-line soundbar features a total of five up-firing channels – three on the soundbar itself, and two in the wireless rear speakers – to create an expansive, dynamic soundscape that surrounds users and draws them deeper into the onscreen action and to make Dolby Atmos and DTS:X content even more immersive.   The premium S95QR also features upgraded wireless rear speakers this year, sporting six channels compared to the four of its predecessor. With two up-firing drivers complementing four front/side drivers, S95QR’s rear speakers distribute sound evenly across an impressively wide 135-degree angle. This enhanced capability gives users more flexibility when it comes to speaker placement and is especially helpful for those with limited space.   Improved Connectivity The S95QR, and other select 2022 LG Soundbars,[2] are equipped with a more sensitive receiver that allows for greater distances between the soundbar, subwoofer and rear speakers without adversely affecting audio quality. LG’s premium models also ensure uninterrupted viewing and listening pleasure thanks to improved wireless connection stability that largely prevents any drops or lag in audio output. Meanwhile, Music Mode featuring Meridian Audio’s Horizon technology enables the 2022 soundbars to up-mix two channel audio to 7.1-channels for more realistic acoustic surround sound.   LG’s latest high-end models support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X,[3] allowing movie buffs to enjoy authentically cinematic experiences from the comfort of their own living room or private theater. New for this year, LG’s soundbars welcome IMAX Enhanced support,[4] which delivers a new level of audio three-dimensionality when playing compatible content.   Gamers will love the 2022 soundbar lineup’s support for variable refresh rate (VRR) and auto low latency mode (ALLM), which help make console gaming more immersive by perfectly syncing the sound with the gameplay on screen.[5] Music aficionados will likewise be pleased by LG Soundbar’s support for high-quality music streaming services.   As one would expect, LG’s latest soundbars provide a seamless user experience with effortless control and convenient connectivity. LG WOWCAST – a Wi-Fi audio dongle that mounts to the back of the TV – enables lossless multi-channel audio (up to 7.1.4 channels) without a cable connection between soundbar and TV.[6] What’s more, LG TV owners can control the new soundbar models using their TV’s remote control, or via smart devices using only their voice. And by turning on TV Sound Mode Share, they can enjoy the benefits of LG TV’s advanced audio processing on LG Soundbar’s more powerful speakers.[7] The 2022 soundbars also come with AI Room Calibration, which intelligently adjusts low-frequency performance to the room’s dimensions for optimized sound delivery.   Environmentally-Conscious Design LG Soundbar continues to set the standard for environmentally-conscious design, employing reused and easily recyclable materials, consuming a minimal amount of power during operation, and shipping in eco-friendly packaging. All 2022 models have received SGS Eco-Product recognition from SGS Société Générale de Surveillance SA of Switzerland for their minimal environmental impact, and feature polyester jersey fabric made from recycled materials that meets the Global Recycled Standard (GRS)[8]. Furthermore, LG’s sustainably designed soundbars contain parts fabricated from recycled plastic resin and have been validated by UL’s Environmental Claim Validation Procedure (ECVP). LG’s 2022 soundbars are ENERGY STAR® certified thanks to their minimal and efficient use of power.   The 2022 LG Soundbar lineup will be available at LG official brand stores on Lazada and Shopee, as well as all authorised retailers Audio House, Harvey Norman and Mega Discount Store.   For more information on the 2022 LG Soundbar lineup, visit https://www.lg.com/sg/soundbars.   # # #   Specifications:     *22 new USP S95QR S90QY S80QY S75Q S65Q   Pricing (S$) $1,999 $1,499 $899 $699 $499 Sound   Total wattage 810W 570W 480W 380W 420W Channels 9.1.5 5.1.3 3.1.3 3.1.2 3.1 Rear Speakers 4.0.2 Option Option - - Dolby Atmos / DTS:X O O O O   IMAX Enhanced O O O - - AI Room Calibration Pro O O O - - Meridian / Hi-Res Audio O O O O O Convenience     VRR, ALLM O O O - - HDMI (eARC) 4K Pass-Through w/ Dolby Vision O O O O X LG TV Synergy TV Sound Mode Share, Soundbar Mode Control O O O O O Multiple AI Compatible Works with Google/Alexa, Airplay2 O O O - - WOWCAST compatible O O O - - Eco   Eco Friendly Product SGS / UL ECV O   O O O O   Energy Star O O O O O   1Models S95QR, S90QY, and S80QY. 2The optional SPQ8-S Wireless Rear Speaker Kit is compatible with S90QY and S80QY.
