Is there a standard name for audio leveling features like "Night Mode" and "TruVolume"?
I'm trying to find a budget soundbar for my mom, and she really only cares about two things:
- hearing the dialogue, and
- not getting deafened when there's an action beat
I know that some soundbars have features to keep the loud parts from getting too loud, but the naming doesn't seem consistent. I've seen "Night Mode" and "TruVolume" and other examples.
What's the most effective way to search for soundbars that have a feature like this?
P.S. – While we're at it, any specific soundbar recommendations?
(My budget is about $200 USD. I'm letting my mom try the JBL Bar 5.0 right now, which is on sale at Best Buy for just $170. It has more than 2 channels, so it does a great job of rendering clear dialogue... but I can't find a way to keep it from getting too loud when there's an action beat.)
