LG is rollovering much of its 2024 soundbar lineup to 2025, however the business has one brand new design that it prepares to debut this year. At CES, I got a sneak peek of the compact speaker, the S20A, that will offer an increase to your television audio without using up excessive area. The 2.0-channel system uses 50 watts of power and works finest with LG’s TVs.
When coupled with among the business’s tvs, you can anticipate its Wow Interface that permits you to make sound changes through the television UI. There’s likewise AI Sound Pro tech that adjusts the audio based upon each scene. LG will use a three-band EQ on the S20A, so you can modify treble, mids and bass to fit your choices.

Throughout a fast demonstration of the S20A, I was impressed with the punchy highs and clearness from the smaller sized system. LG states it will not include a subwoofer as the business utilizes the soundbar’s chauffeurs for that low-end tone. Obviously, this setup does not supply the flourishing bass that a standalone cordless sub would, however the business does not see that as a problem here. We’ll anticipate screening that theory later on in the year when the S20A is readily available for evaluation.
There’s no word on prices or schedule right now as LG is just teasing this brand-new soundbar here at CES. That details, in addition to more comprehensive specifications, must show up closer to introduce.
