While this is very eye-catching, it also comes with a problem: <strong>less space for speakers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3LPQkXC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored\" title=\"Check latest offers on soundbars with up -44% OFF!\">Check latest offers on soundbars with up -44% OFF!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the sound of current televisions is not exactly bad, it can be <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/ultimate-guide-choose-sound-bar\">improved in many aspects<\/a>.

In case you already have your brand new equipment at home, <strong>it&#8217;s time to put it in place<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most ideal place to place the sound bar is <strong>under your TV<\/strong>. Whether you have it on a piece of furniture or on a wall, the truth is that this is one of the best locations for it. Of course, <strong>keep an eye on the height<\/strong>: it is advisable that the bar is placed neither too high nor too low, but at <strong>an average height<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/barra-sonido-colocacion-marzo-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-275769\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch where you put the subwoofer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sound bars have the advantage of allowing us to enjoy great sound without having to place too many devices in a room. However, they also have their <strong>weaknesses<\/strong>. Generally, the small size of their speakers does not allow them to emit frequencies below 150 Hz. Therefore, we need a <strong>subwoofer<\/strong> that reproduces this range for greater fidelity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why its placement is very important. If we place the subwoofer too far away from the soundbar, we can cause a phase shift that would break the immersion. That is why the best advice is to place the subwoofer as close as <strong>possible to your equipment<\/strong> and <strong>no more than two meters away<\/strong>. Believe it or not, moving it too far away can generate very strange sensations when consuming any multimedia content (movies, series, video games, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/barra-sonido-colocacion-marzo-subwoofer-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-275770\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you are clear about this, try to make the subwoofer location as uncluttered as possible and <strong>have it touch the floor<\/strong>. This will help the surface to transmit the sound better. And if you want to round it all off, don&#8217;t settle for one subwoofer and place two. Manufacturers usually only include one next to the soundbar, but a second unit will create an ideal sound space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You really don&#039;t need more than a soundbar to get great sound quality.
