TCL Releases Five New Budget Sound Bars (2020)

Improve TV sound for movies, shows and music with affordably priced Roku TV Ready TCL Alto sound bars.

TCL Dolby Atmos Sound Bar

$59 to $299

TCL just announced five new second-generation Alto sound bars priced from $59 to $299. The new models from lowest to highest quality/price are the Alto 3, 6 , 6+, 8i and 9+. All are Roku TV Ready, except for the lowest priced Alto 3. That means they have been verified to work seamlessly with TCL Roku TVs and provide smoother setup, easy access to sound settings, and compatibility with their Roku TV remote

Sound Modes

All TCL Alto sound bars include sound modes for Movie, Music, and TV. The Movie mode allows viewers to hear the dialogue with precise clarity and feel the impact of punches or explosions in intense action scenes. Music mode enables the sound of instruments, vocals, and bass to come through with pristine accuracy. And TV mode isolates ambient sound from speech, so focus remains on the content without distractions from background noise. When not watching television, Alto sound bar owners can stream all their favorite music and podcasts from apps like Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, and more, wirelessly from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop with Bluetooth® wireless technology

TCL Alto 9+ Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer

TCL Alto 9+ ($299)

The Alto 9+ is TCL’s top-of-the-line model. It’s the first sound bar with TCL’s innovative RAY·DANZ® technology, which features uniquely angled speakers that beam sound waves towards reflector units to create an incredibly immersive, ultra-wide soundstage. The premium Alto 9+ sets itself apart from the competition with sleek design and a larger optimal listening area compared to mainstream sound bars, without compromising clarity or acoustic accuracy. The unique RAY·DANZ acoustic engineering offers arrangements that are typically reserved for high-end home theater systems and provides a dedicated center channel that’s been tuned for optimal clarity. The Alto 9+ also delivers clear dialogue and powerful bass thanks to the built-in center channel and wireless subwoofer.

TCL Alto 9+ 3.1 channel sound bar can be extended with Dolby Atmos virtual height channels to simulate overhead sounds. Ultimately, this creates a 360-degree surround sound experience without requiring extra upward-firing drivers, bringing multi-dimensional sound that delivers depth and excitement for a more cinematic experience. The sound bar is also compatible with Google Assistant and AirPlay 2, allowing for both iOS and Android device users to easily stream content from their devices to the TCL Alto 9+ Sound Bar in just a few steps.
