These days, most homes have high-quality soundbars. However, people often unknowingly damage their soundbars. Experts say that some common habits, such as placing the soundbar in the wrong location or neglecting software updates, can degrade the sound quality and damage the device. Even if the soundbar is working fine now, these habits can gradually reduce its performance. Leaving the soundbar on factory settings, placing it in the wrong location, or not updating the firmware can be a big mistake. While the effects of these mistakes may not be immediately apparent, they can put stress on the speakers and reduce sound clarity. Therefore, several things should be kept in mind.
Place the soundbar on a flat surface.
Did you know that placing the soundbar in the wrong location can severely affect its sound quality? Experts advise that the soundbar should be placed directly below the TV, on a flat and stable surface. This prevents the sound from being distorted by bouncing off furniture or other objects. Incorrect placement can muffle dialogues and prevent the sound from spreading properly.
Placing it too close to the wall can damage it.
Proper airflow is crucial for the soundbar to function correctly. If its ventilation vents are blocked, the device can overheat. This can not only degrade its performance but also damage the internal components. Therefore, users are advised to keep the vents clean. Note that placing the soundbar in direct sunlight can also cause it to overheat, even when it's turned off. It's best to keep the soundbar in a cool and dry place.
Change the soundbar settings.
Many people forget to adjust the soundbar's audio settings. Most soundbars operate on preset settings. While these usually provide decent sound, they are not optimized for your specific room. The size of the room, the furniture arrangement, and your seating position all affect how sound travels.
Without adjusting these settings, people unknowingly turn up the volume or bass too high. This puts extra strain on the speakers and can cause them to deteriorate over time. Sound modes, equalizer settings, and adaptive features should be adjusted through the app that comes with the soundbar or through your TV's settings.
Firmware Updates are Essential
Firmware updates are crucial for the soundbar's performance. These updates fix bugs, improve sound quality, and add new features. Missing updates can prevent the soundbar from performing at its full potential or cause compatibility issues with other devices.
More Than Just an Audio Device
Remember, a soundbar is not just an audio device; it's also a way to enhance your TV viewing experience. By paying attention to these small details, your soundbar will perform well for a long time, and you'll continue to enjoy excellent audio quality.
