Key Specs
- Wireless Connectivity: Bluetooth (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
- Dialogue Enhancement: false (Improves clarity of dialogue in audio playback. This is typically achieved with dedicated speakers and/or technology that separates dialogue from the rest of the audio in order to make it clearer.)
General
- Product Name: Cinema 2.1-Channel Soundbar System with 8" Wireless Subwoofer and Digital Amplifier
- Brand: JBL
- Model Number: JBLSB450BLKAM
Audio
- Surround Sound Supported: Dolby Digital (Surround sound systems use multiple audio channels and speakers to create an immersive sound experience for the listener. There are also various proprietary technologies that imitate this kind of sound via a device's built-in speakers or soundbar.)
- High Resolution Audio: false (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)
- Minimum Frequency Response: 40 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
- Maximum Frequency Response: 20 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
- Peak Power Handling: 440 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)
Connectivity
- Wireless Connectivity: Bluetooth (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
- Number of HDMI Inputs (Total): 3
- Number of HDMI Outputs (Total): 1
Video
- Video Pass-through: HDR (Devices with this feature allow video signals to travel from their source to a target device without alteration. For example, a receiver with 4K pass-through would allow 4K video signal from a Blu-ray player to pass to a target TV with surround sound; without the pass-through ability, the receiver would not allow both 4K video and surround sound to be transmitted simultaneously.)
Features
- Dialogue Enhancement: false (Improves clarity of dialogue in audio playback. This is typically achieved with dedicated speakers and/or technology that separates dialogue from the rest of the audio in order to make it clearer.)

Whats Included

JBL Cinema 2.1-Channel Soundbar System with 8" Wireless Subwoofer and Digital Amplifier

Q: Does this have 4k pass through

A: The JBL Cinema 2.1 has HDMI 1.4 and does not support 4K passthrough. Our Bar Series like the 3.1 and the 5.1 has HDCP 2.2 and can do 4k passthrough.

Q: will a universal remote sync up with the system ? the remote that comes with this unit is horrible. very tiny, its a joke. The sound is amazing and works great, to bad they cheeped out with the remote.

A: My dish remote works with it so I would assume a universal would as well. Now it won’t change different setting like the bass in the sub but the volume works just fine.

Q: Can you add a rear wireless speaker kit to this system?

A: Yes, you can add more speakers.

Q: I'm debating on getting a sound bar. JBL has made a name for itself and in the past has never let me down. I don't want to spend money on a subwoofer though because the one I already have is very good. It has old wire jacks. Is there an adapter I can buy?

A: I believe there is a bluetooth adapter, but I don't know if it'll connect to the soundbar. The soundbar itself doesn't have any other outputs.

Q: When does BestBuy have demo unit in the store? I have been to several BB stores in my area but they only have the Jbl sb400 demo. I wonder how this sounds compared to previous jbl sb400.

A: The BB in Nashua,NH has the demo of SB450. I bought it only after looking at the demo
