A soundbar is a slender speaker system with several drivers in a single enclosure. Each driver processes a different frequency of sound. High notes are taken care of by tweeters, midrange by midrange drivers and lows by woofers. This segregation in sound processing makes the resulting audio much more detailed and spacious. It enhances your TV’s overall sound performance and makes movies, music, talk shows and sports more entertaining.
