The JBL Bar 500MK2 Soundbar: High-Quality Audio From Any Room
Turn your living room into an at-home theater with the JBL Bar 500MK2 soundbar and included 10-inch wireless subwoofer. Either mount the speaker to the wall or place it onto a smooth surface below your chosen television before following the setup instructions.

This input even delivers 4K video quality from compatible gaming consoles or video players. Once installed, press the calibration button on the remote for optimized playback that matches the room’s unique layout. When activated, the JBL Bar 500MK2 soundbar learns how sound reflects and travels throughout the space.
