TCL Bows Sound Bar Designed for Easy Setup, Pairing With Roku TVs

TCL launched a Roku-ready wireless sound bar in its Alto line that’s designed to work with its Roku TVs, said the company Monday. The $179 sound system comes with a remote that controls the sound bar and the company’s line of Roku TVs. The sound bar plugs into power and connects to the TV wirelessly after pairing, a spokesperson emailed. The wireless setup up “eliminates confusion” about which input to connect to, automatically enabling the correct sound settings on the TV, said the company. The two-channel sound bar, with maximum sound output of 120 watts, offers multiple equalization settings, including sound modes appropriate for streaming music and podcasts from services including Pandora, Spotify and TuneIn, said the TV maker.
