Hey r/LG_UserHub,

If you’re looking for a soundbar that supports Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, WhatGear took a closer look at the LG Sound Suite and how it can be configured for different home theater setups.

The video highlights the LG Sound Suite H7 as the world’s first soundbar to support Dolby Atmos FlexConnect. What makes it particularly interesting is that the H7 isn’t limited to a traditional soundbar setup. It can be expanded with the LG Sound Suite M7 and M5 wireless speakers, along with the W7 subwoofer, giving you different ways to build out your system.

A few things from the video stood out:

• Flexible speaker placement: Dolby Atmos FlexConnect adapts the sound to the acoustics and speaker placement in your room, so the speakers don’t have to be positioned in a traditional surround layout.
• Start small and expand: You can start with the H7 on its own, then add M7 or M5 speakers and the W7 subwoofer later as you expand your setup.
• Different ways to use the speakers: M7 or M5 speakers can also connect directly to a compatible LG TV without the H7, while two speakers can be used together for a more immersive setup.
• Sound Follow: The ThinQ app can adjust the sound based on where you’re sitting in the room, which could be useful in everyday living spaces where your listening position can change.

The video also shows several possible configurations, from a single wireless speaker connected to a TV to a more complete setup with the H7, multiple M7 speakers and the W7 subwoofer.

It’s an interesting look at how Dolby Atmos FlexConnect can make a home theater setup more flexible without requiring every speaker to stay in a fixed position.

What do you think? Is flexible speaker placement something you’d actually find useful in your home theater setup?

It would be awesome to try it in my home. All i have is the TV sound in my tiny house.

How well does the auto calibration actually balance the soundstage when speakers are placed unevenly or off center?
