Dolby’s go-anywhere Atmos tech comes to LG’s new soundbar

From PC World: Don’t want to deal with rearranging your living room furniture to place Dolby Atmos speakers in just the right place? Dolby’s new and more flexible Atmos technology lets you decide where your speakers go, and the feature has arrived in a soundbar for the first time.

Slated to take the spotlight at CES next month, the LG H7 soundbar is just one component of the manufacturer’s new and modular Sound Suite system, which also incorporates surround speakers (in two sizes) and a subwoofer.

LG hasn’t announced pricing or shipping details for the Sound Suite quite yet (hopefully we’ll learn more once CES kicks off in early January), but what we do know is that the system works with Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, a Dolby technology that lets you place FlexConnect-enabled Atmos speakers whenever you like in a room.
