- A: AnswerHi, If the subwoofer is front-firing, the subwoofer can be placed on its side. subwoofers are placed in the front of the room and facing the room. The front of the room is an ideal location in many rooms so that your subwoofer sounds in sync with your front channel speakers. Even if that doesn't end up being the best spot for you, it's a good place to start.If you keep your subwoofer in a tight-spaced cabinet, these waves will continuously bounce off from the walls and into each other, causing a reverberation. Reverberations can make your sub sound muddled and unintelligible, defeating its purpose of giving you high-quality audio. ^Vanessa

- A: AnswerThank you for your interest in the LG Soundbar (S90QY) model. The Wow Orchestra feature is a technology that combines the audio drivers in both the soundbar and the connected LG TV to deliver an expanded soundstage, similar to Samsung's Q Symphony. This feature is designed to work specifically with LG TVs and soundbars that support the Wow Orchestra technology. The compatibility of the Wow Orchestra feature is dependent on the specific models of LG TVs and soundbars.

- A: AnswerHello there. Thank you for your inquiry about the LG soundbar model S90QY. To adjust the equalizer settings on your soundbar, ensure that your sound mode is set to "User" or "Custom" mode. These modes typically allow you to manually adjust the equalizer settings to your preference. Regarding the LG soundbar app, having it installed on your phone can provide additional functionality and easier control over settings, including the equalizer. It's recommended to install the LG Wi-Fi Speaker app, available on both iOS and Android, for convenient access to various soundbar features and settings. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance with adjusting the equalizer settings, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport. Our team will be more than happy to assist you further. We appreciate your patience. —Renzo

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Bold, immersive sound. Pairs great with LG OLED.
(4.5 Stars) Bought this to go with my new LG C3 55". Very glad I did. The setup and pairing were a breeze. And it has deep, rich, immersive sound. Love the subwoofer. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is there's a glitch with the "Wow Orchestra" feature — which uses the TV speakers and soundbar together for a more immersive sound. Every time I turn my the system back on I have to set it to Wow Orchestra again. For some reason, it will default to something else. It must be a software issue or something. But LG should be able to patch this. Other than that, totally happy with the purchase.

Amazing Sound!
I definitely feel this was such an added value to my entertainment set up! The quality of sound that emerges is just fantastic! The ease of set up is even more incredible and the esthetic is the icing on the cake! It looks wonderful on display under my 65 inch LG! This makes music more enjoyable and makes movies and live events feel like you are right there! My biggest worry is always about how the base will sound and this did not disappoint! Clear and strong! Love it! Well worth the purchase!!

Great Sound, add Rear Speakers for best experience
Great sounding Atmos soundbar for the price. I added the rear speakers, and they make a huge difference. I get surround sound that is comparable to much higher-cost systems that I have heard. I paired this with my G3 OLED TV, and it works flawlessly with one remote. That was my main draw to going with an LG soundbar. I am happy that I did.
