Its combination of the main soundbar, detachable surround speakers and dedicated subwoofer is designed to provide detailed sound, convincing surround effects and impactful bass. Whether you are watching an action movie, enjoying a concert recording or playing compatible games, the system creates a more engaging entertainment experience.

The 960W figure is the maximum speaker output rating. JBL also publishes an RMS rating under specified test conditions; maximum output and RMS power are different measurements.

Immersive 7.1.4-Channel Dolby Atmos and DTS

One of the main advantages of the JBL Bar 1000MK2 is its 7.1.4-channel configuration. This system uses multiple speakers and up-firing drivers to create a three-dimensional sound experience around and above the listener.

Dolby Atmos and DTS compatible content can reproduce spatial effects that make movies and games feel more immersive. Overhead sound effects, moving objects and environmental details can be presented with greater depth when supported by the original audio.

The four height channels contribute to the sense of vertical space, while the detachable surround speakers help extend audio around the listening area.

Detachable Wireless Surround Speakers

The JBL Bar 1000MK2 features two detachable wireless surround speakers that can be removed from either end of the main soundbar and positioned behind your seating area.

This design makes it easier to enjoy surround sound without installing permanent rear-speaker cables around your room. When you finish watching, return the speakers to the soundbar so they can recharge.

The detachable speakers offer up to 10 hours of playback per charge, depending on volume and content. They can also be used with compatible Bluetooth devices for flexible listening.

10-Inch Wireless Subwoofer for Deep Bass

The included 10-inch wireless subwoofer delivers low-frequency effects that add depth and impact to compatible content.

From explosive movie scenes to deep bass in music, the subwoofer helps create a fuller sound experience. Its wireless connection provides flexibility when arranging your entertainment space, although the subwoofer still needs a power connection.

For balanced sound, position the subwoofer in a suitable location and adjust your listening settings to match your room.

JBL MultiBeam 3.0 Technology

JBL MultiBeam 3.0 technology is designed to create a wider soundstage, helping audio feel more expansive across your room.

This is useful when watching films, sports and other content with a broad range of sound effects. Combined with Dolby Atmos, DTS and the detachable surround speakers, MultiBeam 3.0 helps the JBL Bar 1000MK2 deliver an engaging home cinema experience.

The effect varies with room layout, speaker positioning and source material.

PureVoice 2.0 for Clearer Dialogue

Quiet dialogue can sometimes be difficult to hear over music and action effects. The JBL Bar 1000MK2 includes PureVoice 2.0 technology, designed to enhance dialogue clarity.

This feature is useful for films, television dramas, documentaries and programmes where understanding speech is important. It helps make spoken words easier to follow without requiring you to raise the overall volume excessively.

SmartDetails for Subtle Audio

SmartDetails is designed to help reveal subtle details in compatible soundtracks. These can include environmental sounds and smaller audio elements that contribute to the atmosphere of a film or programme.

Alongside the system’s surround capabilities, this technology supports a more detailed listening experience. Its effect depends on the original recording and the audio settings used.

HDMI eARC and 4K Dolby Vision Passthrough

The JBL Bar 1000MK2 supports HDMI eARC for transmitting compatible high-quality audio from your television.

It includes three HDMI video inputs and one HDMI output with eARC. Supported HDR passthrough formats include Dolby Vision and HDR10+, allowing compatible video sources to connect through the soundbar to a compatible television.

This is particularly useful if you use a gaming console, media player or other HDMI device. Make sure your TV, source device and cables support the video and audio formats you want to use.

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Wireless Music Streaming

The JBL Bar 1000MK2 supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to enjoy music and other audio from compatible devices.

Supported streaming options include Apple AirPlay, Google Cast and Spotify Connect, subject to service and regional availability. The JBL ONE app provides access to supported settings and audio customisation features.

This makes the system useful as both a home theatre solution and a wireless music system.

JBL ONE App for Personalised Sound

The JBL ONE app helps you manage supported soundbar features and customise your listening experience. Depending on the connected system and software, you can adjust equaliser settings, manage updates and access supported streaming services.

This gives you greater control over how the system sounds when you are watching movies, listening to music or enjoying other entertainment.
