The LG S95QR features several key enhancements, most notably a boost in performance of the new speaker drivers, speaker chambers and subwoofer. The larger woofers deliver premium audio quality with deeper, resonant bass. For 2022, LG upgraded the wireless rear speakers of its premium soundbar setup from four channels to six, with four front/side drivers to accompany the two up-firing drivers. The rear speakers of the LG S95QR are designed to distribute sound evenly across a wide 135-degree space.
The soundbar features an improved transmitter and receiver that allows for increased distance between the soundbar, accompanying subwoofer, and rear speakers without sacrificing sound quality. With a more stable wireless connection, the LG S95QR eliminates drops or lags in audio output for distraction-free viewing and listening.
New for 2022 is the LG Wowcast (wideband audio on wireless) lossless multi-channel audio dongle (purchased separately) that allows for a wireless connection from any TV with an HDMI ARC/eARC port to an LG Wi-Fi enabled sound bar (S95QR, S90QY,S80QY, S80QR) for lossless and uncompressed up to 7.1.4 channel sound.
