A soundbar, sound bar or media bar is a type of loudspeaker that projects audio from a wide enclosure.

A sound bar is essentially a small speaker system that sits below your TV screen that provides an immersive audio experience. Unlike a traditional surround sound system which features multiple speakers and wires, sound bars are a simple and space efficient way to get next-level sound in your living room.
