LG's new home theater systems may be the ultimate Dolby Atmos flex at CES 2026
"Weeks before CES 2026 kicks off, LG has begun to unveil its big plans for home entertainment. The company this week announced Sound Suite, its modular home audio system, comprising the H7 soundbar, M7 and M5 surround speakers, and W7 subwoofer. Most notably, LG's H7 soundbar is the first to incorporate Dolby Atmos FlexConnect. This audio technology eliminates the need for a fixed number of surround speakers, allowing them to be placed anywhere within a room while still achieving optimal spatial audio performance."
"The LG Sound Suite consists of the H7 soundbar, M7 and M5 surround speakers, and W7 subwoofer. According to LG, this home audio system is modular, meaning each piece of the lineup is sold separately, similar to the Sonos Arc Ultra, Era surround speakers, and Sub lineup. Consumers can purchase pieces within the LG Sound Suite as needed, based on their budget or room size."
"However, consumers who choose to fit their room with the entire Sound Suite will enjoy a 13.1.7-channel home theater, with the H7 soundbar at the forefront. In a press release, LG states that the H7 soundbar is fitted with the company's advanced Alpha 11 AI Processor 3. This processor is responsible for executing AI-powered audio features such as AI Sound Pro+, which upmixes stereo content into multi-channel surround sound."
LG's Sound Suite comprises the H7 soundbar, M7 and M5 surround speakers, and W7 subwoofer and is sold modularly so each component is available separately. A full configuration yields a 13.1.7-channel home theater with the H7 as the centerpiece. The H7 is the first soundbar to incorporate Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, which allows surround speakers to be placed anywhere in a room while maintaining optimal spatial audio. The H7 includes the Alpha 11 AI Processor 3 that enables AI Sound Pro+ to upmix stereo into multichannel surround and to perform object separation and placement. Pricing and availability details are not yet available prior to CES 2026.
