Product Q&A

I would like to place the sound bar in an enclosed shelf on our tv stand. The shelf is open in the front but is only about 4 or 5 inches high. &nbsp;Will that work or does the soundboard have to be placed on an open vertical surface?

Asked by: MrDavePar
Thanks for reaching out. We recommend mounting the JBL Bar 5.0 Multibeam in an open air near your TV since it needs proper ventilation to avoid overheating and maximize its full potential.

The manual and website for this soundbar refers to &quot;Amazon Music&quot; but doesn't mention other Alexa Skills. Is there a limit so that it only works with Amazon Music Skill, or will other Alexa Skills work, like say, the BBC Sounds skill?

Will the JBL Multi-beam 5.0 be available with a subwoofer at some point? I know the 5.1 is option, but that model is not capable of Dolby Atmos.&nbsp;

Asked by: Antman87
Our JBL 5.0 MultiBeam is designed as a stand-alone speaker system and will not work with other speakers. With the Virtual Dolby Atmos design, the Dolby surround upmixer of the soundbar can expand the legacy channel-based audio of Dolby Digital format, including 5.1 and 7.1 content, and provide an immersive 3D Atmos experience.
