Exterior design of the LG SQC1

The design will be one of the strong points due to the construction it presents. It may seem that its appearance is simple, in fact, it is similar to other models, therefore, there will be no such drastic changes. However, this itself makes its aesthetics better integrate into the environments . For starters, it has dimensions suitable for any space.
Although we recommend placing it in front of the television where it is going to be used so that the view is even more pleasant. It has an attractive subwoofer that also stands out for its appearance . You can place it anywhere, since it also integrates correctly into the environment. This is achieved in part by the color of its chassis.
The same happens with the bar that has a matte black that generates a minimalist and even modern style. The total weight is only 1.6 kg , which makes it a portable device that you can move easily. Even take it to another place without much problem. Undoubtedly, aesthetics is something that we highlight for the good construction it offers.
Connectivity

It works with an HDMI input that allows you to connect televisions or other devices that are compatible to transmit the audio signal.
It also integrates a USB port that is used to play audio files, which can sometimes be an interesting option if you simply want to listen to music. Do not forget the optical audio output which is another alternative that you can use as needed. These will be the options you have available to connect.
Wireless connectivity is not far behind and Bluetooth delivers, which will be a really valuable function, which is sometimes not common in this type of model, so it is a positive point that you can take advantage of a lot. The purpose is to avoid excessive use of cables so that the sound bar offers a cleaner view.
Sound quality and functions in general
The LG SQC1 offers good audio quality, obviously it will not be amazing and it is even below other models. We do not want you to think that it will be a bad investment, but we do want to clarify certain points so that you do not have the wrong idea. This system is really designed to enhance the experience of regular televisions.
It has a total power of 160W that might seem like a lot, and for users with little experience in this equipment it surely will be, in addition, it works at 2.1 channels so that the experience is immersive and precise.

The bar can be controlled with the remote control of your television, although it must be compatible.
Sound Sync technology is activated via Bluetooth, this improves the quality and delivers a more precise quality for the dialogues , which is usually what is least heard on occasions, but with this function it serves precisely that. This bar plays various audio formats so there is no problem, although we think some are missing.
It is not really a very complete bar if we analyze it in depth, however, due to its price it has the necessary functions and quality, and as we mentioned from the beginning it is focused on medium or low-range televisions that require more power without exaggerating, for this reason, seems to us to be an adequate alternative at present .
