l would like to share my experience after comparing and testing two soundbars – LG SN6Y vs Klipsch Cinema 400. The LG SN6Y was rated 6.2, while the Klipsch Cinema 400 has a rating 4.6.
Each of the models under consideration has active amplification type. A noticeable difference is the number of channels that SN6Y has 3.1 and Cinema 400 has 2.1. These rivals can be compared in terms of power, 420 (overall) versus 400 (overall) according to devices. The built-in subwoofer is not implemented in any of these models. An external subwoofer connects to the SN6Y via wireless, but Cinema 400 has wired connection type. Rate 7 out of 10 received the LG SN6Y for audio features and specs, but the Klipsch Cinema 400 received 5 out of 10.
Soundbars do not have AirPlay support. The units in this comparison do not support Spotify.
Both models do not have a wireless Wi-Fi interface. Soundbars from this comparison have Bluetooth support. There are 1/1 HDMI inputs/outputs in the LG SN6Y versus 1/0 HDMIs in the Klipsch Cinema 400. As in the SN6Y, so in the Cinema 400 there is the HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC). The connectivity of each of the models was estimated at 8/10. The manufacturer of the SN6Y provides a device control application. The LG SN6Y equipped with a microphone. The models under consideration cannot become part of a multiroom system.
Dolby Atmos audio decoder support is not implemented in either the SN6Y or Cinema 400. Devices from this comparison cannot process surround sound due to lack of DTS:X. The SN6Y was rated 5/10, while the Cinema 400 received a mark of 6/10 for multichannel surround.
