Immersive 5.1 Channel Sound Bar with 10" Subwoofer
The JBL BAR-500-MK2 is a 5.1 channel sound bar system finished in black. It includes a wireless 10 inch subwoofer for deep bass down to 40Hz. The main bar houses five racetrack drivers and four tweeters. HDMI eARC, optical, USB, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections are provided.
Ideal for Film Fans Wanting Room-Filling Audio
This system suits viewers who want cinematic surround effects without running rear speaker cables. Dolby Atmos and HDR10+ pass-through support modern streaming and disc formats. Buyers needing more than one HDMI input or a dedicated centre channel for dialogue clarity should consider other options.
Single HDMI Input with eARC Decides Compatibility
The sound bar offers one HDMI video input and one HDMI output with eARC. Connect your primary source directly to the bar, then pass video to the display. If your setup requires switching multiple 4K sources at the sound bar, this single input will be a limiting factor.

Questions about this item
Does the package include the HDMI cable and wall-mount brackets, or do I buy them separately?
The box contains a remote control with two batteries, one HDMI cable, and two L-shape wall-mount brackets with a template for the main bar.
How do the 5.1-channel and 10-inch subwoofer specs translate to real-room bass and surround feel?
Five racetrack drivers and four tweeters in the bar pair with a 10-inch wireless subwoofer reaching down to 40 Hz, delivering discrete surround channels and chest-thumping low-frequency effects.
What does the 5.1-channel label mean for daily TV, movies, and music playback?
You get dedicated left, centre, right, surround-left, and surround-right channels plus the subwoofer, so dialogue stays anchored to the screen while effects move around the room.
