H7

I also got mine a couple of weeks ago, got the H7 with four M7 speakers. Coming from a competitor, I ran into quite strange issues. When setting up, I was asked to have my phone on a 2.4 or 5 ghz channel. My router was set to one network with band steering and MLO, so I had to go into my router's se

Something to keep in mind is Whathifi and Tech Radar from looks of it only tested with two M7s which I suspect is why they rated vocal clarity lower. I would hypothesize that vocal quality with two discrete left and right m5 or m7s next to the H7 will increase vocal clarity. Presumably the H7 can fo

No TV required if you get the H7 soundbar as it will act as the Dolby Atmos Flex Connect (DAFC) hub for the units you group with it (M5s or M7s). The soundbar has the α11 Processor which runs the DAFC. If you have a compatible LG TV then you can use e.g 1 to 4 M7s with the TV acting as the DAFC hub.

I sold my first generation Sonos Arc about a year ago so I wasn’t able to compare them directly. That being said I don’t think the gen 1 Sonos Arc beats the H7 with the four M7s in terms of dialogue clarity in my experience thus far! Whether it surpasses it I do not want to say for certain given I c

“If you own a DAFC-enabled TV but don’t want to pay for the H7 soundbar, I recommend getting at least 2 M7 speakers to try as rear channels while using the TV as a hub.” I think I should have tried this on my LG C5 with two M7’s. (I tried the H7 and 1 M7 speaker) on my LG C5 tv… i just felt like it

Just for clarification, you do not need the sound bar to use the speakers as standalone speakers. You do need Wi-Fi for the initial set up with the LG app. The system is very very flexible. I saw demo the other day where they had two different stereo sets of speakers playing two completely different

I’ve reached out to both LG and TCL, which have the only FlexConnect devices to market, neither support any flavour of DTS (while their previous soundbars did). It seems FlexConext devices will be Dolby centric, so if this tech takes off it’s going to be harder and harder to get soundbars with DTS.

The LG Sound Suite M7 and M5 support USB Audio (UAC 2.0). By connecting your computer to the M7 or M5 via a USB cable, you can play audio at up to 24-bit / 96kHz quality. For an even fuller sound, you can wirelessly pair two identical M7 or M5 speakers in stereo mode. In that setup, simply connect t

Perhaps, the two reviews seem to contradict in terms of vocal clarity. I have also seen a lot of reviews from people saying vocal clarity is good with the sound bar itself. That being said any setup that has discrete left and right will always have better vocal clarity as the centre can be left to d

From the conversations I had, LG recommends whatever setup you want. The M7s are more robust than the M5s, and the M5s are a more directional speaker, limiting their soundstage. But the beauty of Dolby Atmos FlexConnect and the LG Sound Suite is that any combination will work. Personally, if I end u
