"Dolby introduced its FlexConnect technology a few years ago, vowing that it would allow customers to position soundbars and speakers anywhere in a room. The company said the platform would then reconfigure the sound automatically, taking into account any locations that may be further away from the center sweet spot. At CES 2026, LG is the first to put Dolby Atmos FlexConnect in a soundbar, offering the so-called Sound Suite that also includes satellite speaker options and a subwoofer."
"The centerpiece of the Sound Suite is the H7 soundbar. This 9.1.6-channel speaker is configured for spatial audio (Dolby Atmos) and supports lossless audio up to 24 bit/96kHz. The standout on the spec sheet for me is the six up-firing channels, which should enhance the sensation of overhead sounds. Most of the soundbars I review have only two of those."
"What's more, the H7 is equipped with a feature called Sound Follow that tracks the location of your phone to reconfigure the audio when your position changes. Maybe you move to a comfy chair instead of the sofa right in front of the TV. The idea is that you don't have to suffer through subpar audio during a movie or show just because you aren't in the best spot."
LG's Sound Suite integrates Dolby Atmos FlexConnect into a soundbar for flexible speaker placement and automatic audio reconfiguration. The H7 soundbar is a 9.1.6-channel unit supporting lossless audio up to 24-bit/96kHz and six up-firing channels to improve overhead imaging. Sound Follow tracks a phone's location and reconfigures audio to maintain optimal listening when the listener moves. Optional M5 and M7 satellite speakers complement the soundbar with more than traditional rear-channel duties. The suite can include a subwoofer and allows selective component use so users can choose which items suit their living room.
