Samsung announces availability of 2022 range of soundbars including world-first Wireless Dolby Atmos experience

Samsung Electronics Australia has today announced the local availability of its 2022 range of soundbars featuring a world-first Wireless True Dolby Atmos experience.[1] The line-up of ten soundbar models have a new design and technical improvements that deliver an immersive and captivating sound quality.

The flagship Q990B incorporates 11.1.4ch surround sound including one subwoofer channel, four up-firing channels and two wireless rear speakers for an immersive Dolby Atmos & DTS:X experience creating an atmosphere of rich, room filling sound.

Jeremy Senior, Vice President, Consumer Electronics, Samsung Australia comments that Samsung continues to break barriers in audio innovation. “The leap to produce quality 360-degree surround-sound excellence and new calibration features from just a soundbar is testament to Samsung’s dedication and research in audio excellence,” said Senior.

An immersive, three-dimensional audio experience

To offer a vivid surround sound effect, the 2022 soundbar line-up now incorporates new technology that allows for total sound calibration to the room. This includes enhancements to Q-Symphony, which allows for the soundbar to work alongside the speakers from the TV for an up to 22 channel Dolby Atmos[2] experience when paired with compatible Samsung TV. Q-Symphony now has the ability to connect to all of the speakers on a compatible Samsung TV to execute audio in harmony with the soundbar, maximising the 3D sound effect on screen.

For a more customised experience, Space Fit Sound Advance[3] will optimise the sound accordingly to the size of the room, it tests room reverberations from both the soundbar and subwoofer, while you’re enjoying your favourite content to continually ensure your Soundbar delivers an immersive performance, no matter what you are viewing or listening to.

“Australians appreciate high-end audio and Samsung’s new range of soundbars transforms the home cinema experience with cutting edge innovations like Wireless True Dolby Atmos, Q-Symphony and SpaceFit Sound working harmoniously together to optimise the sound for the room and place you at the heart of the action,” concluded Senior.

Cutting edge design

As more people wall mount their TVs, customers are increasingly looking for a soundbar that offers a complementary and slim design. The new S800B and S801B Ultra Slim Soundbars reset the standard in the slim soundbar category by packing a powerful punch at just 1.6-inch in depth and includes the same level of sound performance as existing, larger soundbars through Samsung’s proprietary technology. They deliver a powerful bass in the compact form by integrating passive radiator technology with its subwoofer and with true top-firing speaker channels it produces natural, room-filling Dolby Atmos sound. The slim, minimalist design is the ultimate in style, designed to sit perfectly underneath the TV or even separate as a standalone speaker.

Samsung soundbars support HDMI eARC Connection, Tap Sound and third-party connectivity features including Alexa, AirPlay 2 and built-in Chromecast ability, offering excellent usability with casting.

Samsung’s 2022 Soundbar range is available starting from 16 March at selected retailers and online.
