No, a soundbar is a multi-directional speaker that imitates surround sound but does not fully replicate it. A soundbar may include a subwoofer and additional speakers to achieve 360-degree sound, making it closer to true surround sound in terms of full dynamic range and fidelity. However, it will provide a slightly different audio effect than installing surround sound in your home theater.
Installing and connecting mounted speakers shouldn’t take more than two hours. However, installing a fully integrated surround sound system that includes running wires and installing speakers may take up to five or more hours. When hiring an electrician to help with this part of the installation, ask them to provide a time estimate for your specific job.
