TCL, a global leader in consumer electronics, has unveiled its new S-Series Soundbars, the S45H and S55H, raising the bar for home entertainment audio. Designed to complement TCL’s acclaimed C6K TV line, these soundbars go beyond standalone audio devices, forming an integrated ecosystem where cutting-edge sound technology perfectly aligns with TCL’s visual excellence.
The S-Series Soundbars bring a cinematic listening experience into everyday homes through TCL’s TV Ready functionality. This feature enables seamless connection with the C6K TV, optimising audio output effortlessly. The soundbars leverage three proprietary technologies-Tutti Choral, AI Sonic Adaption, and Dolby Atmos™-to deliver a superior, immersive soundscape.
Tutti Choral: Harmonising TV and Soundbar Audio
Unlike traditional setups where connecting a soundbar disables the TV’s built-in speakers, TCL’s Tutti Choral technology synchronises both the soundbar and TV speakers. This creates a unified audio system, transforming a standard 2.1-channel soundbar paired with a 1.2-channel TV speaker setup into an impressive 4.2-channel surround experience.
The result is Dolby Atmos™ sound with rich three-dimensional depth, enhanced clarity, and powerful definition across the full frequency spectrum-from crisp highs and detailed mids to deep, resonant bass. Whether you’re watching sports, action films, or streaming music, Tutti Choral ensures every note, dialogue, and effect feels balanced, full, and lifelike. TCL plans to extend this technology across future TV and soundbar models, allowing more users to experience synchronised, next-level audio.
AI Sonic Adaption: Smart Audio That Adapts to Your Space
The S45H and S55H feature AI Sonic Adaption, TCL’s advanced AI-driven sound optimiser. By detecting room size, soundbar placement, and listener location using remote frequency signals, it dynamically adjusts audio output to create a “sweet spot” of optimised sound.
This personalised approach ensures dialogue remains crisp, bass is controlled, and sound effects are perfectly placed-no matter the room layout. AI Sonic Adaption effectively lets the soundbar think for itself, giving users an ideal listening experience without any manual adjustments.
Dolby Atmos™ Integration: Immersive, Three-Dimensional Sound
Dolby Atmos™ further elevates the S-Series and C6K TV pairing into a fully immersive home entertainment system. When combined through Tutti Choral, it creates a multidimensional sound field, allowing high, mid, and low frequencies to move fluidly around and above the listener.
Together, the C6K TV and S-Series Soundbars produce a rich, expansive soundscape. From orchestral scores to the roar of a Formula 1 engine, Dolby Atmos™ delivers cinematic intensity and spatial precision that matches TCL’s QLED visuals. The experience is immersive, emotional, and unforgettable.
Designed for Modern Lifestyles
Both the S45H and S55H exemplify TCL’s commitment to sound innovation, offering robust performance enhanced by Tutti Choral and AI Sonic Adaption. These technologies redefine home entertainment, making movies, sports, and gaming more dynamic and engaging than ever.
“We believe incredible audio should be accessible and adaptive, adjusting instantly to whatever you’re watching or listening to,” said Mr. Mike Chen, General Manager of TCL South Africa. “Our S-Series Soundbars adapt to your space, your content, and your lifestyle. From the precision of our Dual Horn Design to the intelligent balancing of AI Sonic, TCL delivers an audio experience that you have to hear to believe.”
The TCL S45H and S55H Soundbars are now available at Game and Makro stores across South Africa. For more details, visit TCL South Africa.
