24-bit Upsampling

24-bit sound contains more data than lower-quality audio, and is the standard for high-resolution music. This feature converts lower-resolution audio to a high-resolution 24-bit format for a more premium listening experience.

*Audio quality dependent on original source of content.

24-bit Upsampling

*Compatible high-resolution music files required, sold separately.

Dolby Atmos®

Dolby Atmos®

Discover a more immersive home theatre experience in any room. Unlike traditional Dolby Atmos® sound bars, which direct overhead effects upward to be reflected off the ceiling, the SK8Y realistically virtualizes these height channels to add thrilling surround sound to select movies and TV shows.

*Dolby, Dolby Atmos and the double-D symbol are registered trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

Chromecast Compatible

Chromecast Compatible

Google Chromecast™ works seamlessly with popular music apps like Pandora® and Google Play™ Music, enabling wireless audio from a compatible phone or tablet, iPhone®, iPad®, Mac® or Windows® laptop or Chromebook™. Simply open a Cast-enabled app and touch the Cast button to get started.

What People Are Saying

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for the price So I am a big sound freak and usually compare soundbars to see which one will offer me a great experience without breaking the bank. The SK8Y offers a easy setup and matches my LG 65" TV. Pros: Dolby Atmos Great Subwoofer Cons: Wifi sometimes hit or miss Center dialogs sometimes seems low (Compared to my Polk Audio MagniFi Mini Soundbar)

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great sounds for a small space for not a lot of mo Happy overall with the sound and ease of set up. Built-in Chromecast is a little buggy, but chalk that up to a Google problem and not LG. On every other setting the sound is perfect. However, i have several Google home and mini units and the wifi in the sound bar drops from the Google home group daily. If i unplug and replug the speaker it works as intended. But the next day that setting is lost and have to unplug and replug again. Again, think it's a Chromecast issue bc the other settings work fine for movies, TV etc. Hopefully the next Chromecast update will fix it. Added the rear speakers to complete the system to get the full 4k and Dolby Atmos experience. Love it! It works very well with the LG OLED and Blu-ray player. Very happy with the purchase.

Does this sound bar support 4k/hdr passthrough via ARC? For example, Xbox one x to sound bar to LG C7 65in TV. Would this work with watching 4k/HDR content?
