Sound bar connected to your TV and properly configured. Cables sorted, tuned for best sound, everything working. Actually hear what they're saying instead of constant subtitles.
### Stop Saying "What Did They Say?"
TV sound is **absolutely rubbish** these days. Screens keep getting thinner and the speakers keep getting worse. You end up with the volume at 40 just to hear dialogue, then the action scenes blow your head off.
A sound bar fixes that completely. Dialogue you can actually hear, better bass, proper volume control. It's like watching at the cinema instead of through a tin can.
The problem? **Getting the bloody thing set up properly.**
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Use the HDMI ARC connection if your TV has it (most do). Better than optical cable and means you only need one remote.

Good to Know
> 📺 **Wall mounting?** Sound bars look better wall-mounted under your TV and sound slightly better too (less surface vibration). Takes about 20 minutes extra. **New TV too?** Makes sense to set up both at the same time - TV wall mounting plus sound bar setup in one visit. **Multiple devices?** If you've got a games console, streaming box, etc., I can connect everything through the sound bar so it all benefits from better audio. **Old sound bar not working?** Sometimes it's just settings or a loose cable. Before buying a new one, give me a call - might be a quick fix.
Frequently Asked Questions about Sound bar setup in Exmouth
Can you connect my sound bar if I've already got it?
Absolutely - most people buy them online then can't figure out which cable goes where or why there's no sound. I'll get it connected properly, configured, and working. Usually takes 30-45 minutes.
Do I need a sound bar or are TV speakers good enough?
Modern TVs have terrible speakers because they're so thin. If you're constantly turning subtitles on because you can't hear dialogue, a sound bar makes a huge difference. Even a £100 one is better than TV speakers.
Can you mount it on the wall under my TV?
Yes - sound bars usually come with mounting brackets. If you want it wall-mounted I'll do that at the same time as connecting it. Looks much tidier than sitting on the furniture.
What if my TV doesn't have the right sockets?
Most sound bars work with HDMI (ARC socket) or optical cable. Very old TVs might need an adapter but that's rare. I'll check what you've got and sort out the right connection.
Will you set up the subwoofer too?
Yes - if your sound bar came with a separate subwoofer, I'll get that connected and positioned properly. Usually wireless connection but needs to be in the right place for best bass.
