JVC TH-N134B 2.1 Channel Soundbar with Dolby Atmos and HDMI, Black

The JVC TH-N134B is a 2.1 channel soundbar system with a wired external subwoofer, Dolby Atmos decoding, and HDMI input and output with ARC/eARC support. It takes the audio from a TV, console, or streaming box and turns it into a proper surround experience — the kind that makes dialogue clear, action sequences feel wide, and music worth listening to rather than something you put up with through built-in TV speakers.

The 2.1 configuration matters. The soundbar handles the midrange and high-frequency work through two 2.25-inch full-range drivers, keeping vocals and dialogue clear. The 5.25-inch external subwoofer handles the low-frequency work separately, producing the bass depth that a soundbar-only system can’t physically generate. Dolby Atmos decoding is built in — pass a Dolby Atmos signal through from your TV or streaming box via HDMI ARC/eARC and the TH-N134B decodes it natively, expanding the audio into the three-dimensional height and width field that Atmos was designed to create. The DSP engine adjusts the output balance automatically in real time to maintain fidelity at different volume levels.

HDMI connectivity is the connection type that preserves full audio quality from source to speaker — Bluetooth and optical both compress the signal to varying degrees, while HDMI carries uncompressed audio directly. Two HDMI inputs mean you can connect two source devices (a console and a streaming stick, for example) and switch between them without unplugging anything. The single HDMI output routes video back to the TV via ARC, so the soundbar sits between your source and screen cleanly without adding cables. Bluetooth, Optical, USB, and 3.5mm AUX are all available for sources that don’t use HDMI. The compact dimensions — soundbar at 400 x 89 x 67mm, subwoofer at 360 x 150 x 200mm — keep the footprint manageable on a TV unit or desk.

A genuine upgrade over built-in TV audio, at a price that sits well below the premium soundbar market. Order now and get free delivery to your door anywhere in South Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a special TV to use Dolby Atmos with this soundbar?

You need a TV or source device that outputs a Dolby Atmos signal — most modern smart TVs and streaming devices (Apple TV 4K, Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video) support Dolby Atmos. The TV or streaming device needs to have an HDMI ARC or eARC port, and you need to enable it in the TV’s audio settings (usually called “HDMI ARC” or “External Speakers”). Once connected via HDMI ARC, the TH-N134B handles the Dolby Atmos decoding internally. If your TV doesn’t have ARC/eARC, Optical input is the fallback — it carries Dolby Digital 5.1 but not full Dolby Atmos.

What is the difference between ARC and eARC on HDMI?

ARC (Audio Return Channel) carries standard Dolby Digital 5.1 and stereo audio back from the TV to the soundbar. eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) carries higher-bandwidth audio including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X at full quality. The TH-N134B supports both — if your TV has an eARC port and you enable it, you’ll get the full Dolby Atmos signal. If your TV only has ARC, you’ll get Dolby Digital 5.1, which is still a significant improvement over built-in TV speakers.
