Best 12V Soundbar for TV Upgrade

[Wjklewis]

I would like to add a sound bar to our TV, built in speakers are not good. But I would like a 12 volt sound bar. Has anyone any recommendation please. A web link would be good also

We have one of these Majority atlas they also make this Majority Bowfell

You won’t be disappointed very good for the money.

You both correct, the Majority Atlas has arrived and we are really pleased with the sound and build quality, for what I payed (£24.95) it very good and comes with 3 year warranty.
Just neede to modify the bracket I had made for the old speaker, just cut a hole for the cables, this one cables are central where the old one had cables at the side on the back.

I use a Bluetooth Bose speaker works a treat

I heard the Avtex and it sounded awful. We don't use the TV bit (everything goes through a Chromecast). So instead we use a Minirig bluetooth speaker connected to the CC. It sounds fantastic and charges via USB-C, though I easily get 8 hours out of it.

The Avtex TV we have is going soon. It's fine, but i'd rather replace it with a 12v monitor which will be a lot thinner (no DVD player) and we don't use the speakers on it, either.

I received an SB195 Avtex Soundbar yesterday and used coax lead supplied to plug into my older non smart Avtex TV. You also receive HDMI lead for Smart TV, audio jack plus all the 12v, 24v leads you wilI ever need plus the additional bonus of a small bracket to attach soundbar to TV. In my opinion it is an excellent bit of kit and a huge upgrade from the standard speakers and well worth the money. Didn't pay full price of £145.00 (paid £128) but it is brand new.

We use a wonderboom portable usb chargeable speaker- sound is great and we can use it outside with bbc sounds as well

I have the Avtex soundbar as well and an Avtex TV, both expensive but they are built solid and more likely to stand up to the occasional knock when setting up/taking down. The downside, that I found, is that you cannot use the soundbar mounted to the TV if the TV is on the supplied stand. I bought a separate computer monitor stand so that the soundbar can be attached to the TV.
When I asked Avtex why I could not use both together they replied -
'The SB195BT was always designed as a soundbar and not as a replacement for the stand, this tends to be the norm for this type of product, sorry for any type of confusion.
At the moment there are no plans for a compatible stand for this particular combination of products.'

This seems a shame as it would be much slicker if they all connected together.

We have a great Anker Bluetooth speaker. Ideal for the TV, and can be used with iPhone too. Also we sometimes Bluetooth to the vans built in Pioneer system.

Thank you, that is the only one that I had seen to be 12Volt. Have you heard it in action?

I bought one at the Motorhome show and have fitted it to our Avtex TV. It has made a big difference to us as I can also play my music through it. My option is it was worth it, others may not agree. Our TV is on a frame attached to the wall not free standing, so it is underneath.

We have a Falcon sound bar, from the NEC, much cheaper than the Avtex (we have an Avtex TV), and are pleased with it.

It is rechargeable via USB, has Bluetooth or a jack socket for wired. I have it because I am a bit deaf and don’t want the next van to be listening to our TV, especially late in the evening . The only problem is that when you switch it on, it defaults to Bluetooth (which our steam-powered Avtex can’t do) so you pull out the jack plug and put it back in, when it will say “line in”. Only takes a moment.

I agree re the Anker Bluetooth system, works for me.

We had the Avtex soundbar fitted to the Avtex smart TV when we purchased the van. The sounds amazing, we love it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it, and both the TV and soundbar work of grid.

You can get refurbished one’s on eBay for less than £20 but I bought from Amazon for the free returns policy if the speaker was no good.

Avtex every time for me, I did purchase a cheaper one from eBay but sound quality was very poor. We have 2 in our van one on each tv, I also have one at home in my garden bar for sport and it’s amazing big for me

We bought one from the electronics store that is often attached to Continente supermarkets in Portugal it uses the headphones jack socket and a USB connection for power and seems to work really well. It was €30.
