The sleek and affordable JBL Bar 5.0 Channel Multibeam Soundbar pumps out spacious 3D surround sound using Virtual Dolby Atmos and Multibeam technology, with four passive radiators for deep and punchy bass – no subwoofer required. HDMI eARC makes connection a breeze, and Multibeam calibration delivers a wide soundstage based on your room’s layout, firing audio into all corners for a truly immersive experience.

MESH NETWORKING With multiple smart devices connected to your Wi-Fi network on Grand Final day, the last thing you want is for it to crash. Fortunately, it’s a hazard that can be avoided with the use of mesh networking, which expands Wi-Fi coverage. A main router connected to your NBN broadband works in tandem with a set of ‘satellite’ routers positioned around the home, creating a complete and dependable wireless network. With mesh networking you can also control smart lighting from anywhere in the home, easily connect TVs and devices to your network for buffering-free streaming, and eliminate choppy Facetime calls when it’s time to sing the club song together. Choose from reliable brands like Google, Netgear and Eero.

In the top-tier is LG’s flagship model for 2021, the SPR11RA 7.1.4 Channel 770W Dolby Atmos Soundbar , which utilises Meridian advanced digital signal processing to create a wide sound stage. Five outward-firing drivers and two upwards, plus a pair of wireless rear speakers (both forward and upward drivers)

and a wireless subwoofer deliver powerful and thoroughly immersive 7.1.4 channel sound that really brings the big game to life.

much like it would in a regular fryer without being immersed in oil. Perfect for chips, cocktail fish, schnitzels, and more.
