VIZIO Debuts New Home Theater Google Cast Sound Bar Collection

VIZIO's latest collection of VIZIO SmartCast sound bars ahs been released, ranging from the 38" 2.1 Sound Bar System to the flagship 45" 5.1 Slim Sound Bar System. The collection features integrated Google Cast, allowing users to stream songs from Google Cast-enabled audio app directly to the sound bar over WiFi. Part of VIZIO's new smart entertainment ecosystem, each audio product can be controlled by the VIZIO SmartCast app which transforms any mobile device into a touchscreen remote.

The app allows users to search, browse and discover content across multiple apps as well as play, pause, change volume or access all the settings for their VIZIO SmartCast device. Multi-room streaming over WiFi allows users to even cast the same song to multiple VIZIO SmartCast sound bars and speaker at the same time, or send a different song to each speaker. Streaming over WiFi also eliminates interruptions from phone calls, texts and other notifications that occur with Bluetooth streaming. VIZIO's audio products also ship with a standard LCD display remote.

The SmartCast 45" 5.1 Slim Sound Bar System has been designed to complement 47" class size displays and above. Measuring 2" high and 2" deep, the 45" sound bar features rear satellite speakers and pumps up to 104dB Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 1 and 30 Hz of bass. The flagship model, along with the 40" 3.1, 40" 5.1 and 45" 3.1 slim sound bar configurations, features a compact 3" tall subwoofer, perfect out-of-the-way storage beneath or next to a sofa.

The new products are available now at VIZIO.com, starting at $219.99 for the 38" 2.1 Sound Bar System and $499.99 for the 45" 5.1 Slim Sound Bar System.
