The subwoofer is impressive, with dimensions of approximately 13 x 16 inches and a weight of 18 pounds. Once installed, it remains stationary and greatly amplifies the sound of the Bar 500MK2. Featuring a 10-inch driver, it effortlessly reaches its stated 40-Hz lower limit.

The bar’s controls are straightforward, featuring volume and input buttons subtly situated in the middle of the matte black bar. An included remote facilitates convenient adjustments. A useful LED screen is discretely located in the right front of the grille, showcasing information in straightforward English, which is a refreshing departure from the typical assortment of lights and colors found in other brands.

The speaker and subwoofer’s impressive output of 750 watts is a significant enhancement compared to any built-in TV speakers. Despite its compact form, the Bar 500MK2 envelops the space with rich sound, which is exceptional for a bar without rear surround speakers.

It possesses an extraordinary ability to reflect sounds, giving the impression that they originate from the sides or rear—especially during gaming sessions like *Gran Turismo 7* on the PlayStation 5 Pro.

Dolby Atmos effects in films are similarly impressive. Watching my 4K Blu-ray of *Ford Vs. Ferrari,* the cars raced past with such clarity that it felt necessary to lean to the side. Enjoying music like Agave Fire Pit’s “Goodnight” left me amazed at its talent for accurately portraying vocal effects at the center of the stereo image.
