The Vizio SB36512-F6 is a high-tech soundbar 5.1.2 soundbar configuration. It offers an immersive listening experience with up-firing speakers and Atmos support. Its sound quality is pretty good, with a neutral audio profile, but with a little extra bass. The bar can become loud enough for all types of content, but the height speakers are not as loud as the other speakers, which means it can be difficult to hear the sound effects of height. On the upside, this soundbar has plenty of connectivity options, but surround speakers need to be connected to the wireless sub.
Quite good for dialog box. The Vizio SB36512-F6 has a clear reproduction of the voices and a neutral sound profile. It will be good to listen to the news, podcasts or audiobooks with this configuration. Unfortunately, there is a lack of a dialogue enhancement function that would make the voices even clearer, but may not need them due to its great overall performance.

The Vizio SB36512-F6 has a decent construction quality. All components of the setup have a very similar style, with a fabric covering the front and top faces and two silver plates on the sides. Unfortunately, the fabric can easily collect dust and get torn. The back and sides are made of good quality plastic, but don’t feel premium.Photo:Vizio
