The virtual Dolby Atmos effects certainly did increase the perceived height of the overall presentation and improved the depth as well. The M-Series 5.1 created a convincing circle of sound, with the blend between the surround speakers and the soundbar sounding excellent. The surround effects in the intro of Mad Max: Fury Road (one of my go-to Atmos surround test tracks) swirl around you, and if there are any holes in the presentation, you’ll notice right away. The system doesn’t pull off Dolby Atmos effects quite as well as a system with upfiring speakers (like the Vizio Elevate), but the fidelity is impressive and the surround effects are seamless and contiguous. The M-Series 5.1 created a convincing circle of sound. In fact, at this price range, it has no business sounding as good as it does - even for Vizio, which is known for putting out some fairly high-value soundbars. Dan Baker/Digital Trends Sound qualityīut how does it sound? In short, the Vizio M-Series 5.1 sounds great. With a little bit of tweaking, I was able to get the system right where I wanted it. This kind of control is essential for dialing in the system’s sound to work well with various speaker/subwoofer placement scenarios and room characteristics. With the remote, you can manage independent surround speaker balance, overall surround speaker level, subwoofer level, bass and treble levels, and a fair amount of preset EQ options. Much like the Vizio Elevate, the M-Series 5.1 system has a comprehensive suite of controls, all of which are managed via the included remote control. But considering this system isn’t intended for larger rooms, I don’t see this being an issue for most folks If you happen to be using the M-Series 5.1 in a massive, cavernous room, there could be some issues with the subwoofer being too far away from the soundbar and losing some of its signal, which manifests itself through a little popping noise. After plugging the soundbar and subwoofer into power outlets and turning the system on, the two components will automatically connect to each other and you’re good to go. Setup is plug-and-play and totally automated. Vizio claims that even with this setup, the M-Series 5.1 can still pull off some pretty impressive surround sound effects. The other setup option (which works well for people who may not have as much room) is to have the surround speakers flank the soundbar at the front, with the subwoofer also toward the front of the room. One is the more conventional setup where the soundbar is positioned upfront, the surround speakers behind you, and the subwoofer back with the surround speakers (which gets the surround signal wirelessly and powers the surround speakers). There are two different setup scenarios for the M-Series 5.1. There are two power cords (one short and one long, in case your subwoofer is further away from an outlet), two extremely long surround sound speaker cables, an HDMI cable, a remote, batteries, an optical cable, a couple of analog cables, and the aforementioned hardware to mount the speakers. If you’re familiar with Vizio soundbars, then you know that everything you need comes in an incredibly well-organized box. The back of the surround speakers have a single RCA port that connects the speakers to the subwoofer, as well as a screw hole that can be used to mount the speakers using included mounting brackets.
