Turn OFF Notifications JBL Unveils New Multibeam Soundbar With Dolby Atmos By Tyler Lee, on 01/07/2021 16:43 PST Soundbars are great alternatives to your more traditional standing or bookshelf style speakers. This is because generally speaking, they’re designed to be slimmer and can slide under a TV or a monitor, so if you’re tight on space, soundbars are a great alternative. In fact, JBL might have something new for you. Advertising The company has unveiled its new Bar 5.0 Multibeam soundbar. On the surface it looks like your typical soundbar, but the difference is that this is the first soundbar to offer Virtual Dolby Atmos, which is thanks to the speakers’ multibeam technology. This relies on software and virtualization to create the same effect, and the upside is that it is much cheaper.
