Hear characters talk again

Sound bars in general are an easy, space-friendly way to improve TV sound. But the JBL Bar 3.1 solves one very specific problem. Our customers often tell us thatTV dialogue is too hard to hear and understand. JBL includesa center channel that's dedicated to making speech loud and clear— even in movies and shows with heavy action.

Powerful sound effects, too

But it's not all about speech. This system gives youafully-formedhome theaterexperiencewith deep bass and simulated surroundsound. The bar features nine total drivers, positioned to deliversound to a wide viewing area. And the included sub adds hard-hitting emphasis to big effects.

I heard this system briefly in our training room— a large space with a lot of open air. The Bar 3.1 was able to cut through the dead spots with full-bodied, exciting sound. Frankly, the sound added some depth and character to the mindless movie clip I was watching! I paid more attention to the on-screen action than I otherwise would have.

Space-friendly design with versatile connections

The bar is slim enough to fit under most TVs on a stand, but JBL included a bracket for wall-mounting.You'll find convenient home theater connections to go with this system's home theater performance. There are three4K/HDR-ready HDMI inputs and one outputforconnecting the latest gear. Or you can simply connect your TV using the single included optical digital audio cable.

Quickly switch over to Bluetooth for music

Sound bars have now become one of the morepopular ways to listen tomusic, too. So JBL made it easy to pair up and play. Their SoundShift feature swiftly— and automatically— switches over from your TV input to Bluetooth when it'stime for some tunes.
