Vizio’s 12 Soundbars: 4 Elevates List Height Channels

Vizio’s US site lists 12 soundbars, and all 12 list Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, but only the four Elevate models list height channels: the Elevate 7.1.4 Pro, Elevate 5.1.4 Pro, Elevate 5.1.4 and Elevate SE, whose height speakers rotate up for Atmos. Three more add surrounds without height (two 5.1 bars and a 4.1), and five are 2.0 or 2.1 bars.

The other differences sit in the speaker count, the subwoofer and the width. All 12 list one HDMI eARC input and no optical input; Vizio points owners of a TV that needs an optical connection to its support site. Vizio sells none of them on vizio.com; each page sends buyers to Walmart or Sam’s Club. Vizio’s TVs are in our separate Vizio TV explainer.

The 12 soundbars side by side

From the feature list and Key Specs on each model’s page on vizio.com, read 1 November 2026. Speaker counts are Vizio’s totals for the whole system.

2.0 Soundbar (SV200M-0805)	2.0	2	None	None	30 in

Two names repeat. Vizio sells two different bars called “5.1 Soundbar”, told apart only by model code, and its “2.1” and “All-in-One” bars both carry a 2.1 label, though the All-in-Ones keep their bass drivers inside the bar rather than in a separate box.

What all 12 share

Every Connectivity table on the 12 pages reads the same: one HDMI input with eARC, USB for WAV playback, Bluetooth, and “No” for optical and for a voice assistant input. Each Key Specs table lists “Remote: No”; Vizio says the bar is controlled with the TV remote over HDMI or with the VIZIO mobile app, and the SV510XW page adds that a soundbar remote is sold separately. All 12 are listed as QuickFit compatible, Vizio’s bracket for mounting a bar to the bottom of select Vizio TVs.

Lossless Atmos and DTS:X need eARC at both ends, while streaming Atmos plays over ordinary ARC on many TVs, as our ARC and eARC explainer sets out. Vizio includes an HDMI eARC cable with the Elevate 7.1.4 Pro.

The four Elevate bars: height channels

Vizio says all four Elevate bars have “adaptive height speakers” that rotate up when Atmos or DTS:X content is detected, bouncing sound off the ceiling, and face forward for stereo. That is the split between the 4 and the other 8: the others list Atmos with no height number in their channel label. Atmos can be processed without height drivers, which our explainer on up-firing and virtual height covers.

• Elevate 7.1.4 Pro. The most speakers in the table above: a five-channel bar, an XL wireless subwoofer and four wireless surrounds, each with a front driver and an up-firing height driver. 14 speakers in all.
• Elevate 5.1.4 Pro. The same bar and XL subwoofer, with two of those surrounds instead of four. 10 speakers.
• Elevate 5.1.4. The same bar and two surrounds as the 5.1.4 Pro, with a smaller subwoofer: 7.7 lb against 14.1 lb.
• Elevate SE (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab). A 5.1.2 system: the same 36-inch bar size, with two surrounds that Vizio lists as wired to the subwoofer and as Dolby Atmos-enabled. 8 speakers.

Bass reach and Bluetooth

Vizio’s own system frequency response figures, from each Key Specs table. A lower first figure means the system is rated to reach deeper bass; the tolerance Vizio quotes differs between models.

Model	Rated range	Bluetooth	Bar weight
Elevate 7.1.4 Pro	35Hz–16kHz ±3dB	5.3	7.43 lb
Elevate 5.1.4 Pro	35Hz–16kHz ±3dB	5.3	7.43 lb
Elevate 5.1.4	45Hz–16kHz ±3dB	5.3	7.43 lb
Elevate SE (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab)	45Hz–16kHz ±3dB	5.3	7.65 lb
5.1 Soundbar (SV510MW) (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab)	45Hz–16kHz ±5dB	5.3	4.81 lb
5.1 Soundbar (SV510XW)	50Hz–16kHz ±5dB	5.3 in specs, 5.2 in feature list	4.79 lb
4.1 Soundbar	50Hz–16kHz ±5dB	5.3	4.30 lb
2.1 SE	50Hz–16kHz ±5dB	5.2	4.30 lb
2.1 Soundbar	50Hz–16kHz ±5dB	5.2	3.99 lb
All-in-One (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab)	50Hz–16kHz ±5dB	5.3	7.46 lb
All-in-One SE	50Hz–16kHz ±5dB	5.3	5.18 lb
2.0 Soundbar	70Hz–16kHz ±5dB	5.2	4.30 lb

The 2.0 Soundbar, with no subwoofer, is rated to 70Hz. Whether a bar needs a separate sub is what our subwoofer explainer works through from makers’ figures. The bars with surrounds list Movie, Music and Direct listening modes; the 2.0 and 2.1 bars list Movie and Music.

Who each one suits, by the specs

• Height channels from the bar and from the surrounds: the Elevate 7.1.4 Pro (four surrounds) or either Elevate 5.1.4 (two); the Pro has the larger subwoofer.
• Height from the bar, with surrounds wired to the sub: the Elevate SE.
• Surrounds without height channels: the two 5.1 Soundbars, or the 4.1 Soundbar at 30 inches.
• One box under the TV, no separate sub: the All-in-One (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) (34 inches) or All-in-One SE (32 inches), or the 2.0 Soundbar.
• A TV with only an optical output: none of the 12 lists an optical input.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between the Vizio Elevate 5.1.4 and the Elevate 5.1.4 Pro?

The subwoofer. Both use the same 36-inch bar with rotating height speakers and two wireless surrounds, 10 speakers in all. The Pro comes with what Vizio calls a Wireless XL Subwoofer, 14.1 lb against 7.7 lb, and Vizio rates the Pro system down to 35Hz against 45Hz.

Which Vizio soundbars have up-firing speakers?

The four Elevate models: the Elevate 7.1.4 Pro, Elevate 5.1.4 Pro, Elevate 5.1.4 and Elevate SE. Their height speakers rotate up when Atmos or DTS:X is detected. The other eight list Dolby Atmos but no height channels in their channel label.

Does the Vizio Elevate SE have wireless surrounds?

No. Vizio lists its two surrounds as wired to the subwoofer, with the subwoofer itself wireless. Vizio labels the Elevate SE 5.1.2, with height from the bar’s rotating speakers.

Do Vizio soundbars have an optical input?

None of the 12 current models lists one. All 12 on Vizio’s US shop page list Optical: No, with one HDMI eARC input, USB for WAV files and Bluetooth. Vizio’s pages point anyone whose TV needs optical to its support site.

Do Vizio soundbars come with a remote?

Vizio’s spec tables list Remote: No for all 12. Its pages say the soundbar is controlled with the TV remote over the HDMI eARC connection or with the VIZIO mobile app, and the 5.1 Soundbar SV510XW page says a soundbar remote is sold separately.

What is the difference between the two Vizio 5.1 soundbars?

Both are 33-inch 5.1 bars with two wireless surrounds and six speakers. The SV510XW comes with what Vizio calls a compact subwoofer, 3.9 lb, rated to 50Hz; the SV510MW’s subwoofer weighs 4.9 lb, rated to 45Hz. Vizio links the SV510XW to Walmart and the SV510MW to Sam’s Club.

Where can I buy a Vizio soundbar?

Not from vizio.com, which shows no price. Each product page has a button to Walmart or to Sam’s Club. Eight of the 12 current models point to Walmart and four to Sam’s Club.
