00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.200
says here team lift but there's no me and team

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:10.559
ah or there is a mian team you know what

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:14.240
i got this this oh

00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:17.199
is the vizio elevate it actually has

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:20.640
automatically upward firing rotating speakers for a more immersive listening

00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:25.119
experience and they've sponsored this video on ShortCircuit don't mind the uh LTT

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:31.760
set it was just we needed a bigger one because this thing is absolutely freaking

00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:33.280
a monster and we're gonna check it out

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:38.160
i actually need a minute first though i do not understand this packaging

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:40.719
it's right side up right huh okay now we

00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:40.719
go like this

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:48.800
it's right side up now we go like this

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:50.960
it's right side oh wait am i supposed to

00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:57.760
have it stood up while i open it look this is sideways oh scan here for

00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:01.440
one moment please welcome to vizio elevate

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:04.559
easy setup unbox it power it up

00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:06.720
wait what that's the whole instruction

00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:09.920
i'm just an ape i don't know how to unbox it

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:12.320
now the big highlights for vizio here are obviously going to be the sound

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:17.520
quality support for dolby atmos and the fact

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:22.320
that in a box you are getting an entire and they've specifically instructed me

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:25.280
not to say 5.1.4

00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:29.840
speaker setup so that's five channels surround

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:33.040
one channel of subwoofer and four

00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:34.079
more channels of upward speakers and the

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:38.560
way they achieve that is of course with those rotating upward

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

00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:49.360
in a moment here i really want to take a look at the elevate sound bar

00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:52.799
whoa okay yeah i just didn't quite find the middle there

00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:56.240
it's got a nice style to it actually kind of rounded at the front

00:01:54.720 --> 00:02:01.040
pretty minimalistic looking if you're into that sort of thing so

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:05.600
either these end pieces will fire towards you if you're

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:06.560
not listening to dtsx or dolby atmos

00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:11.200
content or if you are they'll rotate up so that

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:15.520
they can bounce off of your ceiling and sound like they're coming from above

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

00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:27.120
unless you are actually listening to dolby atmos or dtsx content

00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:31.360
so it's like hey we're in

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:33.440
branded media formats listening time now

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:36.000
turn it up suckers in terms of mounting you got lots of options you got little

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

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

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:48.640
a half millimeter jacks you really they've still got an optical

00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.000
jack oh that's not nice and over here we've got a usb port as

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:56.319
well as three HDMI ports one of these goes out

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

00:02:58.239 --> 00:03:04.159
audio quality as long as your other devices support enhanced audio return channel and then

00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:07.680
two more for alternate inputs which is nice because

00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:12.480
even now in 2021 there are high-end sound bars

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:15.760
out there that don't have a built-in HDMI switch which is really frustrating

00:03:14.959 --> 00:03:21.599
because because you're using e-arc you actually take up one of the HDMI inputs

00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:25.040
on your tv and if you wanted an av receiver you probably wouldn't be going

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.159
for like the clean simplistic soundbar approach so it's

00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:31.519
really nice to have those extra HDMI inputs for all

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

00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:41.840
a playstation 5 or an xbox series maybe you just need both eight inch

00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:47.280
downward firing driver and of course very simple i o now i was

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:52.080
a little dismayed when i saw what looked like proprietary connections for the left and

00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:56.799
right satellite speakers but it appears that they are actually

00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:58.319
just little custom packaged rca cables

00:03:56.799 --> 00:04:02.400
that are twinned so that they're in a nice low profile cable so

00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:05.680
i'm happy because that means that if you wanted to you could

00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:10.080
extend them and use something else off the shelf if you needed to

00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:12.799
but this is a little bit more palatable when it comes to

00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:15.040
wife approval factor what i'm really waiting to see now is what the mechanism

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.320
is like for tilting those speakers up and like i

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

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:27.680
sound bar so like it's gonna matter that much if some of

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

00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.960
the surrounds have a couple of mounting choices so you can just

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:37.680
plonk them onto something with the rubber foot or you can screw them in

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

00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:46.479
i'm gonna go ahead and put a little something like that okay i

00:04:44.479 --> 00:04:49.759
found my remote control i got my wall mount brackets and screw

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

00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:58.400
a label on every single stupid thing

00:04:54.960 --> 00:04:59.840
it's ridiculous uh okay fine

00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:04.479
got the two different options for three and a half mil so you can either go

00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:07.199
rca or just into a regular headphone jack

00:05:05.039 --> 00:05:10.960
got the remote that explains why there's uh no knobs or adjustment dials on the

00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:15.440
back of the subwoofer you change all that through here oh or

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

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

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

00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:31.759
they look vizio hello to hear the elevate audio effects

00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:36.160
we could have actually forced it to simulate the

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:40.479
top channels but because the playstation 5 doesn't support all the atmos we had to

00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:44.800
turn to our good friend the xbox series x now if we're in the

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

00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.120
horizon 4 in order to get it going

00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:59.600
there's no doubt you give up some of the directness of the front firing speakers

00:05:55.919 --> 00:06:02.319
but it's a fuller sound

00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:06.720
very interesting top firing for this genre

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:07.600
maybe not so much but you actually don't

00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.720
have to use it so if we go back into that effect menu

00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:17.600
elevate wide there we go we can opt for this

00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:21.639
just get that wider sound stage not a bad looking little setup

00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:24.639
of course the mousepad is integral lttstore.com
