Dolby and LG are working together to transform the construction of home theater systems. They recently introduced a new modular audio system ahead of CES 2026. This collaboration promises to free home audio from complex wiring and fixed designs. By combining Dolby and LG technology, the system produces a high-end, personalized listening experience.
The core of this innovation is Dolby Atmos FlexConnect technology. This wireless audio technology is now part of LG’s new speaker lineup. It enables the system to adjust sound quality based on each speaker’s position automatically. This partnership has made creative, adaptable theater sound more accessible.
A collaborative audio innovation of Dolby and LG
You can mix and match the various components that make up the new LG Sound Suite. It comes with a W7 subwoofer, M7 and M5 wireless surround speakers, and an H7 soundbar. Buyers can assemble these components in over two dozen different configurations. You can build up to a massive 13.1.7 channel theater from a basic pair of speakers.
Dolby Atmos FlexConnect is its most notable feature. This technology adjusts audio based on each wireless speaker’s location in your space. It ensures optimal sound quality even when outlets or furniture position speakers awkwardly. Thanks to this Dolby and LG project, FlexConnect is being integrated into a soundbar for the first time.
The H7 soundbar makes any TV sound excellent with Dolby Atmos. The companies also said they would be releasing a new version of their software soon. This update will add direct FlexConnect support to some LG high-end TVs, including models from 2025. This choice by Dolby and LG makes the system more flexible than just having external speakers.
This January, at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, the official release will take place. CNET and The Verge are two tech sites that will write about the biggest launches at the event. The news from Dolby and LG is a big hint about what’s to come. It indicates that modern homes really want wireless audio that is both high-quality and flexible.
The point of this partnership is to make it easier to set up high-end home theater systems. By combining modular hardware with smart software, Dolby and LG are breaking down old barriers. Their system makes it easy to go from basic stereo to full-blown movie-theater sound. This is a big step forward for home audio: easy to use and tailored to you.
