1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,200
says here team lift but there's no me and team

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:10,559
ah or there is a mian team you know what

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:14,240
i got this this oh

4
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:17,199
is the vizio elevate it actually has

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:20,640
automatically upward firing rotating speakers for a more immersive listening

6
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:25,119
experience and they've sponsored this video on ShortCircuit don't mind the uh LTT

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:31,760
set it was just we needed a bigger one because this thing is absolutely freaking

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,280
a monster and we're gonna check it out

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:38,160
i actually need a minute first though i do not understand this packaging

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:40,719
it's right side up right huh okay now we

11
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:40,719
go like this

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:48,800
it's right side up now we go like this

13
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,960
it's right side oh wait am i supposed to

14
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:57,760
have it stood up while i open it look this is sideways oh scan here for

15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:01,440
one moment please welcome to vizio elevate

16
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:04,559
easy setup unbox it power it up

17
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,720
wait what that's the whole instruction

18
00:01:04,559 --> 00:01:09,920
i'm just an ape i don't know how to unbox it

19
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,320
now the big highlights for vizio here are obviously going to be the sound

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,520
quality support for dolby atmos and the fact

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:22,320
that in a box you are getting an entire and they've specifically instructed me

22
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:25,280
not to say 5.1.4

23
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:29,840
speaker setup so that's five channels surround

24
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:33,040
one channel of subwoofer and four

25
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,079
more channels of upward speakers and the

26
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,560
way they achieve that is of course with those rotating upward

27
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:43,200
firing drivers that i was talking about before so we'll get to the rears and the subwoofer

28
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:49,360
in a moment here i really want to take a look at the elevate sound bar

29
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:52,799
whoa okay yeah i just didn't quite find the middle there

30
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:56,240
it's got a nice style to it actually kind of rounded at the front

31
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:01,040
pretty minimalistic looking if you're into that sort of thing so

32
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:05,600
either these end pieces will fire towards you if you're

33
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,560
not listening to dtsx or dolby atmos

34
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:11,200
content or if you are they'll rotate up so that

35
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:15,520
they can bounce off of your ceiling and sound like they're coming from above

36
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:20,480
you can i just say how adorable that is that you don't see any branding on this thing whatsoever

37
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:27,120
unless you are actually listening to dolby atmos or dtsx content

38
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:31,360
so it's like hey we're in

39
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:33,440
branded media formats listening time now

40
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,000
turn it up suckers in terms of mounting you got lots of options you got little

41
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:40,000
rubber feet you got little threaded doodads in here if you wanted to get it wall mounted or whatever the

42
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:44,560
case may be and in terms of i o you've got everything you'd expect couple three and

43
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:48,640
a half millimeter jacks you really they've still got an optical

44
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:52,000
jack oh that's not nice and over here we've got a usb port as

45
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:56,319
well as three HDMI ports one of these goes out

46
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,920
to your tv it's got support for erc so there'll be no compromises in terms of

47
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:04,159
audio quality as long as your other devices support enhanced audio return channel and then

48
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,680
two more for alternate inputs which is nice because

49
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:12,480
even now in 2021 there are high-end sound bars

50
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,760
out there that don't have a built-in HDMI switch which is really frustrating

51
00:03:14,959 --> 00:03:21,599
because because you're using e-arc you actually take up one of the HDMI inputs

52
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:25,040
on your tv and if you wanted an av receiver you probably wouldn't be going

53
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,159
for like the clean simplistic soundbar approach so it's

54
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,519
really nice to have those extra HDMI inputs for all

55
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:37,760
of your devices like maybe you're the kind of household that just can't decide whether you want

56
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:41,840
a playstation 5 or an xbox series maybe you just need both eight inch

57
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:47,280
downward firing driver and of course very simple i o now i was

58
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:52,080
a little dismayed when i saw what looked like proprietary connections for the left and

59
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:56,799
right satellite speakers but it appears that they are actually

60
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,319
just little custom packaged rca cables

61
00:03:56,799 --> 00:04:02,400
that are twinned so that they're in a nice low profile cable so

62
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:05,680
i'm happy because that means that if you wanted to you could

63
00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:10,080
extend them and use something else off the shelf if you needed to

64
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,799
but this is a little bit more palatable when it comes to

65
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:15,040
wife approval factor what i'm really waiting to see now is what the mechanism

66
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,320
is like for tilting those speakers up and like i

67
00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:24,400
don't know is it gonna make that much of a difference you've got 18 drivers in the

68
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,680
sound bar so like it's gonna matter that much if some of

69
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:32,080
them go up here some of them go over there we're gonna see just like the sound bar

70
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,960
the surrounds have a couple of mounting choices so you can just

71
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:37,680
plonk them onto something with the rubber foot or you can screw them in

72
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:42,479
with the threaded hole right there i mean we're just setting this up to audition them so

73
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:46,479
i'm gonna go ahead and put a little something like that okay i

74
00:04:44,479 --> 00:04:49,759
found my remote control i got my wall mount brackets and screw

75
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,680
i gotta talk to those inventory guys i keep telling them you don't have to put

76
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:58,400
a label on every single stupid thing

77
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,840
it's ridiculous uh okay fine

78
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:04,479
got the two different options for three and a half mil so you can either go

79
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:07,199
rca or just into a regular headphone jack

80
00:05:05,039 --> 00:05:10,960
got the remote that explains why there's uh no knobs or adjustment dials on the

81
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:15,440
back of the subwoofer you change all that through here oh or

82
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:20,479
i mean i guess there are physical buttons as well not everything's on there though you compare bluetooth

83
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:24,400
volume up and down power and change the source but if you want to adjust eq or

84
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:28,320
set effects or whatever that's in here look at that it's got a little screen

85
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,759
they look vizio hello to hear the elevate audio effects

86
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:36,160
we could have actually forced it to simulate the

87
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:40,479
top channels but because the playstation 5 doesn't support all the atmos we had to

88
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:44,800
turn to our good friend the xbox series x now if we're in the

89
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:51,120
menu i don't think oh look at that huh i didn't even have to open up forza

90
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,120
horizon 4 in order to get it going

91
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:59,600
there's no doubt you give up some of the directness of the front firing speakers

92
00:05:55,919 --> 00:06:02,319
but it's a fuller sound

93
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:06,720
very interesting top firing for this genre

94
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:07,600
maybe not so much but you actually don't

95
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,720
have to use it so if we go back into that effect menu

96
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:17,600
elevate wide there we go we can opt for this

97
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:21,639
just get that wider sound stage not a bad looking little setup

98
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,639
of course the mousepad is integral lttstore.com
