One of the new devices JBL launched at IFA 2022 is a quartet of new Atmos-capable soundbars. Two of these are battery-powered wireless rear speakers that you can detach for that surround sound theatre experience and dock back into the sides of the soundbars to recharge. This JBL Bar 1000 is an 11.1-channel performer with four upward-firing speakers for Dolby Atmos 3D sound. It also gets a wireless subwoofer and supports DTS:X 3D surround sound.

It's similar to 2020's JBL Bar 9.1, but this unit gets two more drivers for a 7.1.4 arrangement and increased power output from the Bar 9.1's 820W to 880W. The JBL Bar 1000 retails for US$1,149 (around CA$1,513 converted).
