A soundbar is a type of speaker that projects sound from a wide audio cabinet. It is wide, rather than tall. This is partly because of the acoustics and partly because of its suitable shape for placement under a TV or home cinema screen. In a soundbar, there are basically more speakers placed next to each other, which helps to create surround sound or a stereo effect. In addition to the soundbar, a subwoofer may be suitable, which is usually part of the package.
