LG SC9 and SE6 soundbars first look: Making the most of LG's TVs

The company is showing off its new products here at the Consumer Electronics Show. The SE6 is a more compact all-in-one unit than the SC9 which is more premium level. The first look at both units was given to us at the Consumer Electronics Show.

The best way to use the SC9 is with the C series. The company has come up with a way to attach the soundbar to the display rather than the wall. The speaker rotates with the TV to point the sound in the same direction. The SC9 has three upfiring speakers, which is more than most of the soundbars on the market. The speaker's capabilities should be boosted by that.

Some of the features for the SC9 are exclusive to the TV manufacturer. For the best audio experience, Wow Orchestra syncs the display's speakers with the soundbar and Wow Interface puts all of the SC9's sound settings on the TV. The company's Wowcast technology will allow you to connect to its TVs over the internet if you like. There are two HDMI ports that can be used to link with the TV and one additional jack.

The SE6 is a proposition in its own right. The frame of this unit is wrapped in cloth and has softer edges. The SE6 was designed for people who have smaller spaces or just want a smaller soundbar in front of their TV. One additional HDMI port is included with your TV. The SE6 doesn't have a sub like the SC9 does. Most of the new features added to the more robust SC9 are supported by it.

Pricing and availability are likely to be announced sometime this spring.
