Product Overview

LG SN6Y is an entry-level 3.1-channel soundbar with wireless subwoofer. It supports a select set of digital audio processing programs, including DTS Digital Surround and DTS Virtual:X.
Unlike higher-end 2020 LG soundbars, the SN7Y drops the Meridian Audio speakers, Google Assistant built-in, and WiFi connectivity.
The SN6Y can be paired with LG's SPK8-S wireless rear speakers to create a 5.1-channel listening experience. It shares the same subwoofer with the more premium models such as the flagship SN11YG.
Other soundbars unveiled at the same time include the 2.1-channel SN5Y, 3.1.2-channel SN8YG and SN7Y, 5.1.2-channel SN9YG and SN10YG, and 7.1.4-channel SN11YG.

Reviewer score 35% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from rtings have found:
The LG SN6Y is okay for mixed usage. Its standard sound profile isn't the best-balanced - it sounds quite bass-heavy, but also a bit harsh at times. The subwoofer also struggles to produce the deep rumble of action film effects. It has a dedicated center channel that helps make dialogue sound clearer.
Pros
  • Bass and treble level adjustment options
  • Excellent center channel performance
  • Great center channel
Cons
  • Doesn't support Dolby Atmos
  • Lacks rumble
