Vizio P-Series Sound Bar Uses Newly Patented Rotating Speakers

The self-adjusting speaker invention that Vizio described in the U.S. patent it landed Tuesday (see 2108170010) is embedded in its commercially available P-Series Elevate Dolby Atmos sound bar, emailed a spokesperson. When the Elevate soundbar detects Atmos content through metadata, “it rotates certain speakers upwards to provide the height channels off of the ceiling,” she said. For non-Atmos content, “these speakers rotate to face forward to provide wide separation and better stereo performance,” she said. “This makes the bar dynamic based on content.”
