A great TV picture only gets you halfway there. Built-in TV speakers are thin and tinny no matter how expensive the screen is, and if you’ve ever wanted a proper home cinema night without buying a new TV, a soundbar or projector is the upgrade that actually changes how a room feels. Here’s a straight look at what’s available at Nikshan, with real models and prices, across our showrooms in Kannur, Calicut, and North Kerala.
Why a soundbar makes a bigger difference than a bigger TV
Most TVs, even 4K ones, pack their speakers into a slim frame that just can’t move enough air for real bass or clear dialogue. A soundbar fixes that instantly, and it’s usually the single cheapest upgrade that makes a noticeable difference to how movies, cricket matches, and music actually sound in a living room.
Budget soundbars under ₹15,000
For a straightforward audio upgrade without a big spend, this is the range most first-time buyers across Kerala look at. The Philips TAB4319, an 80W 2.1 channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer and powerful bass, is priced at ₹7,500, down from ₹11,490. The Philips TAB4228/94, a 160W 2.1 channel soundbar with a wired subwoofer and Bluetooth, is priced at ₹10,900, down from ₹14,990. The LG S40T, a 300W 2.1 channel Dolby Digital soundbar with a wireless subwoofer, rounds out this range at ₹13,500, down from ₹26,990, a steep 50% discount.
Mid-range soundbars for a real home theatre feel
Stepping up to 5.1 channel setups brings genuine surround sound into the mix, and this is the tier we see most homes in Kannur and Calicut settle on. The Sony HT-S20R, a 400W 5.1 channel Dolby Digital home theatre system with soundbar, subwoofer, and rear speakers, is priced at ₹20,990, down from ₹28,990. The LG S70TY, a 400W Dolby Atmos 3.1.1 channel soundbar with a center up-firing speaker, is priced at ₹22,900, down from ₹42,990, a 47% discount. The Sony HT-S40R, a 600W real 5.1 channel Dolby Audio system with wireless rear speakers, is priced at ₹24,990, down from ₹29,990.
Premium Dolby Atmos soundbars
For the closest thing to a proper cinema at home, these models bring genuine object-based surround sound. The LG S65TR, a 600W 5.1 channel Dolby Digital soundbar with wireless subwoofer and rear speakers, is priced at ₹23,500, down from ₹37,990. The LG SC9S, a 400W 3.1.3 channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with a wireless subwoofer, is priced at ₹31,500, down from ₹89,990, a massive 65% off. At the top of the range, the Sony HT-S60, a 1000W 5.1 channel system with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support plus wireless rear speakers, is priced at ₹38,990, down from ₹54,990, and it’s one of the most capable home theatre systems available anywhere in North Kerala right now.
Beyond these, Nikshan also stocks soundbars from JBL, Just Corseca, Mivi, and Zebronics, based on availability.
Projectors: business use versus home cinema
Nikshan’s projector range splits cleanly into two purposes, and both are stocked across our showrooms in Kerala. Business and education projectors, like the BenQ MX560C, an XGA DLP projector with 4000 ANSI lumens, HDMI, a 15000-hour lamp life, and a 10W speaker, and the Epson EB-E12, a 3600 lumens XGA business projector with 3LCD display, HDMI, and USB connectivity, are built for bright rooms, presentations, and classrooms where clarity under normal lighting matters most.
Home theatre projectors are a different category entirely, built for movie nights rather than boardrooms. Nikshan’s Zebronics Pixaplay range covers this well, from the Pixaplay 15 and Pixaplay 16 with Full HD and 4K support, WiFi, and Bluetooth, up to the Pixaplay 38 and Pixaplay 58 with 12000 lumens and full 4K support, and the Pixaplay 66 with Android 12, auto focus, and auto keystone correction for genuinely simple setup. All Zebronics and business projector pricing is available on request, since exact configurations vary.

Frequently asked questions about soundbars and projectors
Is a soundbar worth it if I already have a good TV? Yes. Even premium TVs use thin speakers that can’t produce real bass or clear surround sound. A soundbar, even a budget one, typically makes a bigger audible difference than upgrading the TV itself.
What’s the difference between 2.1, 3.1, and 5.1 channel soundbars? The first number is the count of main speaker channels, and the “.1” is the subwoofer. A 2.1 setup covers left, right, and bass. A 5.1 setup adds a center channel and rear speakers for genuine surround sound, while formats like 3.1.1 or 3.1.3 add upward-firing speakers for Dolby Atmos height effects.
Which projector should I buy for a home theatre versus office use? For a home theatre, look at Zebronics Pixaplay models with Full HD or 4K support and built-in smart features. For office or classroom use, a business projector like the BenQ MX560C or Epson EB-E12 is built for bright-room clarity rather than home cinema features.
Do I need a separate subwoofer with a soundbar? Most soundbars in this range already include a wireless or wired subwoofer as part of the package, so a separate purchase usually isn’t necessary unless you want to upgrade later.
Which brands of soundbars and projectors does Nikshan stock? Nikshan stocks soundbars from LG, Sony, Philips, JBL, Just Corseca, Mivi, and Zebronics, along with projectors from BenQ, Epson, and Zebronics, covering both home theatre and business use.
Where can I buy a soundbar or projector in Kannur or Calicut? All these soundbars and projectors are available at Nikshan’s showrooms across Kannur, Calicut, and North Kerala, or you can browse and order online at nikshan.com.
