IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- VIZIO, Inc. announced today the retail availability and pricing of its all-new 2018 Home Theater Sound Systems with Dolby Atmos. Designed to produce extraordinary cinema-inspired sound from every angle, even from above, the new collection sets the standard for immersive in-home audio. The VIZIO Home Theater Sound Systems with Dolby Atmos are available in three configurations and feature independent upward-firing speakers that deliver up to 10 channels of incredible sound from every direction. The VIZIO 36" 5.1.2 Home Theater Sound System with Dolby Atmos is available now at Best Buy, Costco and Sam's Club for an MSRP of $499.99. The 46" 5.1.4 and 46" 3.1.2 models will be available at retailers including Amazon.com, Best Buy and Walmart later this year with respective MSRPs of $999.99 and $799.99.

"VIZIO's latest Dolby Atmos home theater sound bar integration continues to prove our dedication to delivering high-performing, intuitive products at the incredible value for which we're known," said Bill Baxter, Chief Technology Officer, VIZIO. "This next iteration of audio solutions to hit retailers offers consumers an immersive cinema-quality home audio experience thanks to hardware advancements such as upward-firing speakers that allow sound to reflect off the ceiling and truly encapsulate listeners."

The new home theater sound systems build on VIZIO's legacy of award-winning audio performance. Featuring up to four Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers that reflect sound off the ceiling, listeners hear a range of subtle sounds that are often missed with conventional audio setups. Birds fluttering overhead, thunderstorms and helicopters swirling above become part of the listening experience to further draw viewers into their entertainment. Engineered to delight demanding audiophiles, each system starts with rich sound from the main sound bar's left and right channels for a wide-ranging sound stage. A separate center channel then creates crystal-clear dialogue, while a powerful wireless subwoofer produces room-shaking bass. Select models also feature rear surround sound speakers for an enhanced listening experience, while added upward-firing speakers wrap the entire viewing environment with sound. Boasting a simple, plug-and-play installation process – without the need for additional components such receivers, amplifiers or other cables – the collection yields cinematic sound within minutes. The three configuration options are designed to complement a variety of television and room sizes. Additionally, sleek, industrial profiles maintain a clutter-free atmosphere and aesthetic.  

With Google Chromecast built-in, the VIZIO Home Theater Sound Systems with Dolby Atmos also allow users to stream music from any Chromecast-enabled audio app, including favorites like Google Play Music, iHeartRadio, Pandora and Spotify. By tapping the Cast button or by downloading the free VIZIO SmartCast Mobile^™ app, users can transform any mobile device into a powerful touchscreen remote to stream music directly to their VIZIO home theater sound system or sound bar. These new audio offerings ship with a remote to control a variety of functions. The latest VIZIO sound bar systems also feature smart home capabilities such as voice-control support for Google Assistant, allowing users to control their sound bars using only their voice.
