BUILT-IN SPEAKER PERFORMANCE( TEST SUMMARY REPORT)
| Built-in Speakers: | Downward-firing 2.2 channel system with limited bass and soundstage. For casual TV watching and dialogue clarity, the C3's built-in speakers suffice |
|---|---|
| Voice Clarity: | Clear dialogue in movies and TV shows. |
| Distortion: | Minimal at moderate volumes, but increases noticeably at higher levels, impacting sound quality. |
| Frequency Response: | Lacks bass & treble extension, compromising sound spectrum. Significant roll-off in bass & treble, lacking full audio spectrum |
| Bass: | -12 dB, significantly lower than ideal for bass-heavy content. Unsuitable for music or bass-heavy content. |
| Soundstage: | Narrow; Limited sense of surround sound or spatial audio. |
| Immersion: | Limited; Can't compete with dedicated soundbars or surround systems. |
| Dolby Atmos Support: | Decodes Dolby Atmos signals, but limited by built-in speakers. |
| Audio Passthrough: | Supports eARC for lossless audio passthrough to external systems. |
| Recommendation: | Soundbar/Speaker Upgrade; Consider a soundbar with Dolby Atmos or DTS:X virtual surround sound for a more immersive experience. |
