Oh. You hate the idea of a as-wide-as-your-TV rectangular sound bar? Or perhaps, you just don’t have the console real estate? Well, here’s one sound bar for you – that’s if a sound bar is on your wish list. Called LG Eclair QP5 Sound Bar, it is the brand’s most compact sound bar yet, measuring just 11.7” x 2.4” x 4.9” (29.7 x 6.1 x 12.5 cm).

In spite of super compact stature, it is not lacking of power. LG Eclair is an advanced 3.1.2. channel system, paired to a wireless subwoofer that boasts Meridian Audio’s tuning and technology to “deliver exceptional detail and spatiality.”
This is the interesting bit of Meridian Audio’s part of this sound bar:
“Meridian’s Horizon technology up-mixes two channel stereo content into immersive, multichannel audio to deliver a wider soundstage for a truly immersive listening experience with tonal balance that remains authentic to the original recording.”

Other features include 4K pass-through, support for both Dolby Vision and DTS:X, adaptive LG AI Sound Pro, and of course, 2021 sound bar must-have, HDMI eARC (enhanced audio return channel).
Beyond the specs, it is aesthetically appealing too, sporting a convention-breaking, chic oval design and jersey fabric for the contemporary look. The oval design is probably why it is called an eclair.
