The next big thing in TV isn’t even a TV. The JBL LINK BAR is a powerful soundbar that provides exceptional audio performance and delivers TV content in a smarter way with Android TV™ and the Google Assistant. The LINK BAR is one of the most recent collaborations between JBL and Google, and expands the JBL LINK series.

The LINK BAR transforms any TV into a smart TV, with legendary JBL sound performance. Equipped with the content of Android TV and the helpfulness of the Google Assistant, this soundbar is anything but ordinary. Just start with “Hey Google” to quickly find the latest blockbuster, control a smart home, and more — all with just a voice command.

Chromecast built-in capabilities only heighten the experience, supporting both high-definition video content and sound to provide entertainment unlike any other. Once connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the LINK BAR, a smartphone, tablet or laptop can “cast” the latest chart-topping release or popular viral video from Chromecast-enabled apps.

The LINK BAR features multiple HDMI inputs and a one-cable connection to a TV. Additionally, the LINK BAR offers an optional subwoofer, which provides an even bigger and more resounding bass.

“The JBL LINK BAR gives consumers an intuitive way to enjoy an amazing viewing experience, along with powerful, rich sound,” said Dave Rogers, President, Lifestyle Audio at HARMAN. “We believe in having technology seamlessly integrate with your life, and the LINK BAR is a natural progression of that philosophy.”

Created with the tech-savvy, forward-thinking consumer in mind, the LINK BAR is one that adapts to everyone’s lifestyle. The LINK BAR conveniently combines all AV sources into an all-in-one product for binge watching enjoyment.
