LG FlexConnect Soundbar Brings Dolby Atmos Home

LG has unveiled its first FlexConnect soundbar, marking a significant upgrade for home audio enthusiasts. The H7 soundbar, part of the new LG Sound Suite, supports Dolby Atmos and offers modular configurations up to 13.1.7 channels. Fans have been asking for a versatile audio system that works with any TV while offering high-end surround sound, and LG’s latest launch answers that need. Debuting at CES 2026, the Sound Suite promises a flexible, immersive audio experience without tying users to a specific TV brand.

A Modular Sound System for Every Setup

The LG Sound Suite is not just a single device but a full home audio ecosystem. Alongside the H7 soundbar, the lineup includes M5 and M7 surround speakers and the W7 subwoofer. All units feature high-quality Peerless Audio components. Users can mix and match up to four surround speakers and a subwoofer for maximum audio performance. LG highlights that there are 27 possible speaker configurations, accommodating anything from a simple stereo pair to a full immersive setup.

Overcoming Previous Limitations

Previous Dolby FlexConnect systems, like TCL’s Z100, were limited to four connected speakers and required a specific TV model. LG’s approach removes these restrictions. The H7 can act as the central hub regardless of the TV used, offering flexibility that home theater setups desperately need. This innovation allows users to enjoy superior sound coverage without compromising bass performance, a common trade-off in older setups.

Cutting-Edge Tech Under the Hood

The H7 soundbar runs on LG’s Alpha 11 Gen 3 chip, the same processor used in the company’s OLED TVs and Micro RGB LED displays. This ensures optimized audio processing and seamless integration with LG’s premium TV lineup, including the 2026 models and the 2025 C5 and G5 OLEDs. Whether paired with a TV or used standalone, the soundbar delivers crisp, immersive audio with full Dolby Atmos support.

Dolby Atmos Like Never Before

With support for up to 13.1.7 channels, LG’s Sound Suite sets a new standard in home audio. Users can position speakers and subwoofers to create a theater-like experience without complex wiring or setup. The flexibility to customize audio configurations ensures everyone—from casual viewers to audiophiles—can tailor the system to their space and preferences.

Simple Setup, Maximum Impact

LG emphasizes ease of use with the FlexConnect system. Each speaker automatically pairs with the H7 soundbar, allowing quick setup and reconfiguration. No specialized knowledge or proprietary TV is required. This simplicity, combined with premium audio performance, positions the LG Sound Suite as a must-see at CES 2026 for anyone looking to upgrade their home theater.

Availability and Pricing

While LG has not yet announced exact pricing, the company expects the H7 soundbar and accompanying speakers to hit the market shortly after CES 2026. Early previews suggest a focus on high-end audio consumers who want both flexibility and cutting-edge performance. Expect more details as CES draws closer, including demonstrations that highlight Dolby Atmos and the system’s full 13.1.7-channel capabilities.
