Without a doubt, it is one of the best bars that we have analyzed if we look only at its technical characteristics. However, we still have to do a more complete analysis of all the characteristics, in order to better determine its quality.

LG SJ9 design

The design of the LG SJ9 is divided into two main parts. The first is the sound bar itself, which has a very attractive design. We can see that it has the speakers positioned vertically, unlike the classic horizontal speakers. This will certainly dIt will give the bar an attractive and quite futuristic design, without us having any problem in terms of aesthetics. As for the subwoofer, it is a kind of box with a standard design, something that can be a bit out of tune with the general design. For this reason, single bar designs are more attractive in most cases, although it was impossible to generate that much power with just one bar.

The color of both is black, but it is a slightly less dark black, more to the gray color. This causes it to be combined with both black televisions and white televisions, thus giving it a very attractive general aesthetic with a spectacular design. We can also see how the bar has a flat design, which fortunately will not take up too much space. In this way, we can fit it under almost any television, very comfortably and easily.

The best thing about the design is that unlike other bars, the subwoofer and soundbar are not wired together, rather they are linked by wireless connectivity. This will allow us to connect each one where we want, thus ensuring that the subwoofer does not clash next to the bar and vice versa. In addition, the wireless technologies that I will talk about at the end, also allow us to connect both to the TV without cables, achieving much more space.

Sound quality

Definitely, this is the strong point of the soundbar, that is, its audio quality. In this case, we are going to achieve about 500 watts of power, an amount 25 times higher than mid-range / upper-middle-range televisions, 10 times higher than that of the LG OLED soundbar and 3 times higher than the soundbars. similarly priced sound. This turns the bar and subwoofer assembly into a sound system worthy of admiration, where we will hear the sound at high power, without loss of quality and with a feeling of being in the cinema.

In order to be in the home theater, we also need audio modes that allow multi-channel surround sound. This bar has it, since we can use the different home cinema sound systems, in order to have a completely surround system, as in the cinema. If you have a good television, you will have the perfect combination, with the high-quality bar perfectly accompanying the television.

All this does with an electricity consumption that is somewhat high, since in total we have more than 80 watts of consumption if we add bar and sound. This consumption is higher than that of many televisions, but necessary to be able to emit so much power. This is so far the weak point of the bar, but it was a necessary weak point to be able to offer so much power.

Connectivity

The connectivity of the LG SJ9 it’s pretty good tooAs we saw in its sister, the LG SJ7, since we will have a large number of functions, which will help us to achieve a totally spectacular user experience. The most prominent is Bluetooth technology, which is the technology that allows you to keep the bar, the television and the subwoofer together despite the distance. In addition, we can easily connect our Smartphone and any Bluetooth device, such as a console or a television that has this function, something that will avoid the use of cables. We also have to highlight the Wi-Fi connectivity and the USB port, which will allow you to use the bar completely independently, without needing any device that gives you the sound output.

If we like cables, it is also for you, since the classic optical and analog audio outputs have been preserved in this LG. The digital optical audio output allows you to connect it to a television that has this port, to a computer and other devices such as a game console, since even the old PS2 has this port. This port allows a much cleaner sound system, without losses or any type of interference. The other analog port is also good for listening to good sound from any device that has this port. Although it is not of as much quality, as its digital counterpart, it has the main advantage of compatibility, since we can connect devices such as mobile phones without Bluetooth or MP3 devices.

In conclusion, this sound bar is a beast, which will add a cinema power to your living room, pun intended. The only problem is its high consumption of electricity, although as I have said before, it is a totally justified consumption, because light is needed to generate so much power.
