The remote control of the JBL Bar 1300 can be used to conveniently control the most important functions. The wireless subwoofer equipped with a 10-inch woofer offering 300 watts alone has a lion’s share in these performance values. For powering this pretty impressive collection of drivers, JBL uses a bunch of power amplifiers, whose power adds up to a total of 1,170 watts. The tweeters responsible for the external signals and lateral effects are angled to the sides. The most important sonic events from the front are routed as the three main channels Left, Center and Right to an armada of oval “Racetrack” drivers plus three tweeters. The main part of the soundbar is similarly equipped, but it uses four discrete up-firing full-range drivers that are coming in pairs, further enhancing the directional effect towards the ceiling. In addition, there is a rectangular passive compound driver for deeper bass during stand-alone operation. For the former, there is a full 2-way combination of oval woofer plus tweeter, for immersive, indirect soundwaves we found a the full-range cone driver. If you leave the rear speakers connected to the Bar 1300 in Dolby Atmos mode, each one is reproducing two channels: the surround effects plus immersive effects.

(Photo: Raphael Vogt) When operating without the rears, the ports can be covered with magnetically held caps. The rear speakers can be docked to the soundbar for charging and virtual surround sound. We are impressed! The open ends of the remaining soundbar can be closed with magnetically fixed cover caps. Or you can pair them to form a wireless stereo system. It should be noted that both side speakers work as a standalone Bluetooth system, so you have two of them along with rudimentary controls. ![]() Their batteries last up to 12 hours, which is a very decent value considering the size. This reduces the width of the Bar 1300 by almost 40 centimeters. Very practical as a small music solution for the kitchen, bathroom and garden, where they can also be recharged via USB without having to be docked to the soundbar. However, the little wireless speakers are not only adding some surround sound: They might also serve as stand-alone Bluetooth speakers. What this flexible concept is actually offering However, anyone who owns a 65-incher should be able to place the flat sound bar loosely in front of it on the corresponding base or hang it on the wall underneath. However, you then also need an impressive 1.37 meters of space under your TV. Pretty strong magnets hold them securely in position. During daytime, they can then attach them to the left and right of the main soundbar for recharging. You can set them up at the side or behind the listening position without wires, when an extended movie night calls for some serious surround sound. The JBL soundbar in a solid metal inclusore, also comes with a wireless subwoofer and two battery-powered rear speakers included. ![]() JBL´s own channel count is culminating to a staggering 11.1.4 channels – that means four indirectly radiating immersive channels alone. And there is something special about that concept which we had the previlige to review: For 1500 bucks, you not only get a soundbar with channel-discrete Dolby Atmos. With the new JBL Bar 1300, the US manufacturer known to a wider audience primarily for Bluetooth speakers like the Boombox 3 enters the business of high-end soundbars.
