Are there ports in the vizio? Try plugging them and see what happens.
Sound bar in a box . . . can't understand dialog.
We have a large credenza in our bedroom that houses the TV, video gear and sound bar (a modest Visio) facing the bed. It's become our favorite movie theater. Think a 4'x3'x8' box with doors on front. The "booming" caused by the interior reverb of the credenza box makes any dialog unintelligible. Tried moving it out a bit when open (a pain) as well as adjusting out lower freq.s and boosting treble. No luck.
Any suggestions on something more creative would be much appreciated!
ALERT! Wife is an interior designer so anything that does not fit inside box is not acceptable.

I also have a Vizio soundbar, but luckily don't have any issues with my setup. Great inexpensive soundbars, btw. I know the soundbar has rubber pads on it's bottom, but get some tiny self adhesive rubber feet, not flat ones, but round ones like this, https://www.amazon.com/Self-adhesive-Clear-Rubber-Feet-Bumpons/dp/B001JAW454 Use 4 on the bottom of the soundbar. This will help minimize contact to the cabinet. Also, pull the soundbar as far forward to the front of the cabinet as possible. I would set bass and treble flat and see if the other adjustments, TVOL and TSHD, affect it any. Then try adjusting bass and treble. |
Dan, I think the soundbar has ports in it. Block those and you might stop the boom. You will lose bass. It really stinks that almost all tv's these days have down or rear firing speakers. They are all designed for wall mounting. Doesn't Vizio realize that most of us would gladly pay an extra $50 to get a tv with good built in speakers that are front firing. |
