LG soundbars SC9 and SE6 announced ahead of CES 2023

LG is known to make several announcements every year before CES (Consumer Electronics Show that is organized by Consumer Technology Association (CTA)) every year. Continuing with that tradition LG has launched new soundbar models, and the company has revealed some of the details of the products. The LG soundbars will apparently be put on display in Vegas and be equipped with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for providing users with an immersive sound experience. 

The SC9 and SE6 which are the names of the new models will also have the Wow Orchestra, which is, according to the company, a tool that “utilizes every one of the two products’ audio channels to create an expanded soundstage with improved height, depth and power."

While this vague definition was all that we have, the company did clarify that the feature will launch via a software update. Wowcast can also be used by the soundbars to connect to the television wirelessly using WiFi. Once you do manage to successfully sync the devices, the audio settings can be accessed through the Home Dashboard on the display of the soundbars which will come via a future update.

LG soundbars 2023 features

Both soundbars come equipped with features like Triple Sound Optimizer, Smart Up-mixer, AI Room Calibration tailors and an AI Sound Pro too. The Triple Sound Optimizer helps in giving the performance a “boost”. The Smart Up-mixer is used to turn audio into a multi-channel surround system. And as LG claims, the AI Room Calibration, has the capability to tailor each of the soundbar according to the place you put it and thereby improves the low-end frequency. The AI Sound Pro can analyze the music of whatever game or music you are playing to apply the best setting to them thereby giving the users an optimized hearing experience.

BIS is standardising USB Type-C Charging Ports for devices like smartphones

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has defined standards for the USB Type-C charging port, now that the government is all set to introduce common charging ports for wearable electronic devices and mobiles. Department of Consumer Affairs is mandating common charging ports in order to make things more convenient for users and to reduce e-waste. As a result of this, one will see the same charging ports for tablets, smartphones, and electronic wearables. 

The government is mandating common chargers

Speaking about the new mandate, the Consumer Affairs Secretary, Rohit Kumar Singh, said to PTI "In the last meeting, a broad consensus had emerged among stakeholders on the adoption of USB Type – C as a charging port for, smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc. The BIS has notified standards for Type C charger," 

He also confirmed that the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Kanpur is working on studying the feasibility of the single charging port, and will be supporting a report to the government. 

Why is the government mandating the common chargers?

Speaking about the need to mandate the common chargers, the Secretary said, "We have to align with the European Union (EU) timeline i.e. 2024 because the mobile and electronics makers have a global supply chain and they don't supply to India alone."

This is a significant step towards the LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment) mission which calls for ‘mindful and deliberate utilization' by people worldwide instead of ‘mindful and wasteful consumption' and was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at COP-26.
