2023 M-Series Elevate: Immersive sound never looked better.
The shining star of this year’s audio lineup is the new VIZIO M-Series Elevate 5.1.2 Immersive Sound Bar, which brings proprietary Elevate technology to the M-Series for the first time. Proud recipient of a CES Innovation Award and iF Design Award earlier this year, this sound bar was engineered to deliver the ultimate immersive home theater experience while complementing the living space with an elegant, decor-friendly design.
The M-Series Elevate’s patented Adaptive Height Speakers are concealed beneath a premium charcoal fabric exterior, punctuated at either end by spun aluminum discs that illuminate subtly when activated. When Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio sources are detected, the speakers automatically rotate up, reflecting sound from the ceiling for a truly immersive audio experience. When rotated forward, these speakers provide a wide soundstage with clear vocals for standard surround and stereo modes, particularly great for music.
Entertainment soars with 103dB of premium audio output powered by 13 high-performance speakers, including a redesigned wireless subwoofer that delivers thunderous bass down to 45Hz. The M-Series Elevate features dedicated tweeters and woofers for stunning clarity and spaciousness, as well as two low-profile surround speakers for 360-degree sound.
With the simplicity of a single HDMI eARC connection to the TV, M-Series Elevate sound bar owners will be up and running with high-quality audio from their television in a matter of minutes. Simple Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, an extra HDMI input with 4K Dolby Vision passthrough, and a dedicated Voice Assistant Input help ensure peak performance from all connected devices.
VIZIO TV owners can also maximize their sound bar experience with the new integrated sound bar control menu, available on select VIZIO televisions when connected via HDMI eARC. Now, users may adjust sound bar settings using the VIZIO TV remote and a big-screen interface that makes it a breeze to fine tune levels and select sound modes.
The 2023 M-Series Elevate will start at $799.99 (MSRP) beginning this summer.
