JBL Bar 1300 11.1.4-channel surround sound

Product Information

Its only distinguishing aesthetic traits are that it’s quite a bit deeper than most rivals (nearly 14cm - so make sure your TV stand can find room for it as well as your TV) and that its ends can come off.

Don’t get us wrong. The Atmos performance of the 1300X was just fine, for a up-firing Atmos system. It just didn’t feel any different from many Atmos capable flagships we have tested. With the JBL Bar 1300 soundbar, the American manufacturer displays its perfect expertise in spatialized surround sound. In a relatively small format, this system manages to deliver a three-dimensional sound worthy of much larger audio systems. The very expressive subwoofer and the flexibility of the wireless surround speakers are a real plus compared to competing systems. The ability to use these speakers as completely stand-alone Bluetooth wireless speakers is the icing on this excellent cake from JBL. What a treat! We liked We are therefore in the presence of an 11.1.4 channel home theater system, with truly wireless surround speakers. These speakers are equipped with a battery offering up to ten hours of autonomy. The amplification totals 1,170 watts of power: 650 watts for the soundbar, 300 watts for the subwoofer and 110 watts for each of the surround speakers. The JBL Bar 1300 is a genuine 11.1.4 channel home theater system with a total amplification power of 1,170 watts, with 650 watts to power the soundbar’s 15 drivers.

That also allows further freedom, because each rear speaker can individually become a standalone Bluetooth speaker. Plug one in bedside to a USB-C power cable and send it bedtime tunes and podcasts from your phone.

Frekvenčný rozsah 2,4 G Wi-Fi vysielača: 2412 – 2472 MHz (2,4 GHz ISM Band, USA 11 kanálov, Európa a ostatný 13 kanálov) The direct HDMI inputs will be the only way to enjoy DTS:X content, with which the bar is compatible in addition to Dolby Atmos. But there is very little DTS:X content around, and none via streaming services in Australia (Disney has promised some for IMAX Enhanced movies in some regions). Many bar manufacturers are now saving themselves the DTS licence fee and ignoring it. This soundbar is good with music, thanks to larger drivers that provide clarity and detail, while the width of the cabinet creates plenty of stereo separation. The beefy sub delivers a solid foundation of bass that feels tight and controlled, especially after running the automated calibration feature.

Jednoduchá kalibrácia zvukuThe display can show you various functions like volume control, input selection and sound adjustments among others. We definitely like that JBL used a full functions display instead of LED lights. As it is much easier this way to know what the soundbar is doing. The display can show up to 4-5 characters and uses a scrolling motion for showing longer words. Remember that these speakers need about 3.5 hours to recharge and can offer up to 10 hours of use. We did our own measurements and it seems that these numbers are indeed close to our findings. Vzrušujúce a presné basy z výkonného 10-palcového bezdrôtového subwoofera prinášajú vzrušenie do akčných filmov a emócie do hudby. Technológia vylepšenia dialógov PureVoice Having reviewed many speaker systems in the same room over the years, I have a reference standard that the JBL Bar 1300X was compared to.

The question with built-in calibration systems is – where’s the mike? There’s no plug-in microphone here to move around here, as in AV receiver calibrations. If a bar offers to calibrate based only on a mike in the bar itself, we are dubious how it can discover much about the room, let alone the listening position. In that time, she has covered the highs and lows across the breadth of consumer tech, and tested everything from smartphones and stereo speakers to robot lawnmowers and electric cars. She has a particular interest in audio and TV, however, which means she has spent a lot of time watching movies and listening to music and passing it off as work.

Even with Spotify’s volume normalization feature turned on, that transition—which I’ve experienced dozens if not hundreds of times via other gear—is jarring on the JBL soundbar because the selectively boosted frequencies make the latter song sound so much louder than the former. The configuration settings are largely useless The only downside in all this, is that JBL is not clear about their Smart Mode. Yes, they do mention it in the manual but you have to press a combination of buttons every time you want to turn it off. For something as important as this, it should have its own dedicated button for easy access. LG would obviously prefer that those adding a soundbar did so using one of its own models, and to that end has created the new SC9 model, which is designed to be the perfect aesthetic and sonic partner for the C2 and new C3. x Držiak na stenu so skrutkami v tvare písmena „L“ (hlavná jednotka) + 2 x Držiak na stenu so skrutkami v tvare písmena „U“ (pre priestorové reproduktory) There was simply nothing I could do to make the bass line of “Blue Sky” sound correct, for example, as each band of EQ only offers five levels of adjustment, and while level 2 (-1 from the default) was still a gargantuan amount of overwhelming bass, level 1 (-2 from the default) robbed the song of all its bottom end.

You can, to some minor degree, compensate for these sonic shortcomings by using the EQ built into the JBL One app, but it’s simply not flexible enough to really get the job done. Maybe a five- or ten-band graphic EQ could help even out the sound, but JBL only offers a three-band EQ with bass, mid, and treble, and the bands aren’t centered on frequencies that need help the most.This was confirmed by playing some simple stereo material, and again it leapt out of the rears and upfiring drivers. We confess this was beguilingly effective with stereo music, and a room-filling rendition of the first Georgia Fair album/EP was one of the first warm-ups we enjoyed on the Bar 1300. Once started, we had no inclination to stop it, so rich were the brushstrokes, so enveloping the sound, despite us knowing the surround effect was being faked. And that bonus of using the removable rears as separate Bluetooth speakers? We had a little trouble connecting at first; the usual long press to start pairing instead here pairs the two speakers together. It’s a short touch to start one (or both of them) pairing.
