JBL always offered adequate designs that never had the wow factor but at the same time were still good lookers.

Also as it doesn’t have side firing drivers it means that you have more freedom in placing it even in smaller furniture without loosing in acoustic performance.

Now one thing to mention here is that one of the reasons the LG SN11RG was so long had also to do with the fact that it came with side firing surround drivers also, something that the Bar 9.1 lacks giving JBL the ability to shrink it’s size further making it ideal for any TV even as low as 43″.

This unit is pretty compact for the amount of drivers it carries measuring just 34.8 x 2.4 x 4.7 inches (884 x 62 x 120mm) and with a weight of 8.0 lb (3.64 kg) which is below average and can make placement a breeze. With the Bar 9.1, being a true 5.1.4 channels design, we were expecting to get if not the same at least a similarly sized unit but we were pleasantly surprised. Last week we talked about the gargantuan SN11RG that was one of the biggest soundbars we had reviewed so far. But let’s see everything in detail.įirst of all it’s size.

Not that the Bar 9.1 is of bad quality, not by far, it’s just that you would expect something more from such a high profile device than what you get. JBL was never the company that offered top premium quality soundbar designs as they were always mostly focused on the kind of performance their products would offer than the looks and the use of exotic materials that we have seen in some other flagship units. But are it’s 9.1 dedicated channels and all the technology that hides below the hood enough to give us the kind of Dolby Atmos experience you are hopping for? Le’t begin our analysis to find out… While the SN11RG comes fully packed with features and extra functions it seems that JBL decided to include what is necessary and focus on the sound performance mostly which in the end is what matters the most with such a high profile unit. This soundbar may be JBL’s flagship but it seems they have decided to go a different route than LG did with their offering.

It seems that many manufacturers are slowly embracing both surround and up-firing speakers for their top flagships, one being the recently reviewed LG SN11RG, but in the case of the BAr 9.1 we get completely free of wires surround speakers making placement much more easier. There are a few interesting features that the Bar 9.1 comes with and definitely the highlight is the four up-firing Dolby Atmos drivers it uses while the second is the completely wireless, battery powered surround speakers it comes with. One such company is JBL and today in our JBL Bar 9.1 review we will be looking at their flagship unit and what it has to offer. With Dolby Atmos and DTS:X each brand had to find new ways to incorporate these into their new models and while up until recently virtual technologies was the main way of adding these, manufacturers are starting to fully utilize dedicated speakers to their new releases. Every year soundbar manufacturers push the envelope on what these audio devices can offer and we see a gradual improvement on the features being added especially on their top tier units.
