<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the global leader in soundbars, today announced its 2026 sound device lineup, marking a new chapter in how sound is experienced throughout the home. The expanded range, which will be showcased at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada from Jan. 6-9, delivers richer immersion, clean expression and more unified multi-device performance through next-generation soundbars and WiFi speakers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“For more than a decade, Samsung has shaped the evolution of home audio through advanced acoustics, intelligent features and thoughtful design,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We’re continuing that legacy with next-generation sound devices designed to deliver a rich, expressive performance for any space and moment.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Redefining Cinematic Sound With Samsung’s Q-Series Soundbars</strong></h3>
<p>Samsung’s 2026 Q-Series soundbars reinterpret cinematic sound for contemporary homes, offering richer immersion across a range of room sizes and listening preferences.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Samsung’s latest flagship Soundbar (HW-Q990H model) </strong>delivers its most immersive soundbar experience yet, debuting Sound Elevation, a technology that lifts dialogue toward the center of the screen for more natural sounding audio. It also introduces Auto Volume, which maintains consistent volume across channels and content for a smoother, more balanced listening experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 11.1.4-channel system combines a 7.0.2-channel main bar with 4.0.2-channel rear speakers and dual 8-inch compact active subwoofer, refined for a powerful and space-efficient bass. Up-firing channels and next-generation AI tuning further broaden the sound field, bringing a sense of scale typically associated with professional home theater setups.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The flagship Q-Series HW-Q990H soundbar will join Samsung Australia’s 2026 AV Line-up. Pricing and availability is yet to be announced.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>New to the 2026 lineup is Samsung’s <strong>All-in-One Soundbar</strong> (<strong>HW-QS90H model)</strong>, which blends performance with aesthetic versatility. Its Convertible Fit design supports both wall-mount and tabletop placements, while a built-in gyro sensor automatically adapts channel distribution based on orientation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A 7.1.2-channel system with 13 drivers including nine wide-range speakers, and a built-in Quad Bass Woofer system deliver deep bass without the need for a separate subwoofer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Australia is yet to announce local availability of the All-in-One Q-Series HW-QS90H Soundbar.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Music Studio Series: Iconic Dot Design, Expressive Sound</strong></h3>
<p>Samsung is introducing two new WiFi speakers, the &#8220;Music Studio 5&#8221; and &#8220;Music Studio 7,&#8221; to build a stronger integrated ecosystem. These new models enable a wide range of sound system combinations, maximising the audiovisual experience. Additionally, they offer rich sound experiences while also enhancing aesthetic harmony within users&#8217; spaces, allowing consumers to enjoy an improved audio environment. Each model shares a timeless dot concept by renowned designer Erwan Bouroullec, inspired by a universal symbol in music and art, and grounded in Samsung’s signature aesthetic.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_7394" style="width: 778px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-large wp-image-7394" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Bouroullec-with-MS7-768x1024.jpg" alt="" width="768" height="1024" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Bouroullec-with-MS7-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Bouroullec-with-MS7-422x563.jpg 422w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Bouroullec-with-MS7.jpg 1500w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Designer, Erwan Bouroullec, with the Samsung Music Studio 7, which will be showcased at The First Look, CES 2026. Cables not shown.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Music Studio 7 (LS70H model)</strong> is the most immersive model in the series, delivering 3.1.1-channel spatial audio through left, front, right and top-firing speakers for natural 3D immersion. Samsung’s Audio Lab Pattern Control Technology reduces signal overlap for cleaner directionality, while AI Dynamic Bass Control<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a> delivers deep bass with minimal distortion and Hi-Resolution Audio enables audio processing up to 24-bit/96kHz. The Music Studio 7 functions as a standalone immersive speaker or can be paired with additional compatible sound units or compatible Samsung TVs via Q-Symphony for wider stereo or a full surround-sound setup.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Australia has confirmed the Music Studio 7 will be joining its 2026 AV line-up in Black and White models. Pricing and availability is yet to be announced.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_7395" style="width: 778px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-7395 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/MS5-768x1024.jpg" alt="" width="768" height="1024" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/MS5-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/MS5-422x563.jpg 422w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/MS5.jpg 1500w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The Samsung Music Studio 5 will be showcased at The First Look, CES 2026. Image simulated for illustrative purposes. Cables not shown.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Music Studio 5 (LS50H model) </strong>is designed for homes where aesthetic harmony is as important as sound, offering a smaller, gallery-inspired form that complements and elevates interior spaces. Tuned by Samsung Audio Lab, it uses a 4” woofer and dual tweeters with a built-in waveguide for clear, balanced sound, while AI Dynamic Bass Control<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a> deepens low frequencies without distortion. Wi-Fi casting, streaming services, voice control and Bluetooth via Samsung Seamless Codec<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a> provide smart, seamless connectivity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>A More Intelligent, Connected and Immersive Sound Experience</strong></h3>
<p>For 11 consecutive years, Samsung has been the global leader in soundbars<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span>[4]</span></a>, driven by a commitment to engineering excellence led by the Samsung Audio Lab in California. This foundation shapes every part of Samsung’s 2026 lineup, bringing together advanced acoustics, purposeful design and intelligent connectivity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In 2026, Samsung’s Q-Symphony becomes even more adaptive, enabling Samsung TVs, soundbars and WiFi speakers to operate as a unified sound ecosystem. Users can now pair up to five sound devices with a Samsung TV while SpaceFit Sound Pro analyses room layout and device placement to optimise channel distribution. The result is clearer dialogue and more detailed surround sound as you are in the middle of the scene.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Additionally, with Wi-Fi connectivity and the SmartThings app, users can control sound settings, manage group playback, and access music streaming and voice assistant features through a single, intuitive interface. SmartThings<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span>[5]</span></a> also provides instant music controls, making it easy to start listening and adjust playback from compatible connected mobile devices.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s audio lineup also includes the all-new Sound Tower (ST50F and ST40F models) <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/au/samsung-announces-all-new-sound-tower-at-ifa-2025">announced in late 2025</a></span>, offering powerful outdoor and social listening experiences that complement the Music Studio and Soundbar families. Together, these innovations reflect Samsung’s continued leadership at the frontier of home audio, uniting acoustics, design and intelligence to create a sound experience that feels effortless, expressive and deeply connected.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new Samsung Sound Tower Series will join Samsung Australia’s 2026 AV line-up. Pricing and available is yet to be shared.</p>

<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Samsung’s Neo QLED 8K QN900F is the first Samsung TV to combine Samsung’s 8K picture and sound quality with a premium art experience via the Samsung Art Store<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a>.

Building on the success of The Frame, this new Mini LED 8K TV fills a gap in the market for those seeking gallery style aesthetics with cutting-edge picture and sound, automatically adapting to user preferences for a truly immersive viewing experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Of the <strong>Neo QLED 8K QN900F Samsung Vision AI Smart TV</strong>, the Good Design Award jury said: “Samsung’s Neo QLED 8K QN900F is the first Samsung TV to combine Samsung’s 8K picture and sound quality with a premium art experience via the Samsung Art Store. The Jury really loves the frame design &#8211; congratulations on bringing such a thoughtful product to life. It’s been a long wait for the next evolution of the Frame TV, and this one delivers. The versatility is a standout feature, from the multiple display options to the way it integrates beautifully into designer interiors or homes where a traditional black screen might feel intrusive or unnecessary. It&#8217;s a nice premium product and the design embodies an array of technical innovations and incorporates them in a very compelling, humanistic and engaging user experience story. From Hardware (minimal and modern design and mounting), and materials  to the offering of art (art store) that can be displayed &#8211; this is a smashing piece of design and technology. The product design proves that having the consumer in mind, technical innovation can elevate the user experience and product value.”</p>

<p>Of the <strong>Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo</strong>, the Good Design Award jury said:  “The Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo is an all-in-one, ultra-large 18.5kg smart washer with a 10kg smart heat-pump dryer. It is designed for large families to wash and dry clothes without the need to transfer between two machines, saving time, and helping transform laundry day into a seamless experience. The execution of the UI panel looks elegant, discreet, minimal and feels right for this type of product. Care and attention to detail on user touchpoints is a big plus. Good translation of user insights into useful product features. The product presents a strong minimalist design aesthetic, which effectively communicates ease of use and suggests an experience where much of the cognitive load is handled by the system removing guesswork for the user. The large, clear screen and interface are promising. Overall, a well resolved and thoughtfully integrated product for modern households, combining two appliances into one to save time, space, and effort. Strong emphasis on energy efficiency and smart monitoring aligns with evolving user values. Commendable sustainability steps. This project truly sets a high benchmark for the Domestic Appliance category and the Samsung Design Team should be congratulated here.”</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has introduced its latest advancements in home audio technology, unveiling the new Q-series HW-Q990F and Q-series HW-QS700F soundbars at CES 2025. These flagship models combine state-of-the-art hardware with intelligent features, designed to help elevate home entertainment with unparalleled sound.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Our new soundbars combine exceptional audio quality with seamless convenience,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “With advanced intelligent technology in the HW-Q990F and the HW-QS700F’s innovative convertible design, these soundbars effortlessly adapt to virtually any environment, delivering an immersive and personalised audio experience for virtually every user.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>HW-Q990F: Redefining Flagship Audio Performance</strong></h3>
<div id="attachment_6244" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-6244 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Samsung-Q990F_1-1024x711.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="711" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Samsung-Q990F_1-1024x711.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Samsung-Q990F_1-811x563.jpg 811w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Samsung-Q990F_1-768x533.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Samsung unveils new Q-series HW-Q990F. Image simulated for illustrative purposes.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As the successor to the highly acclaimed HW-Q990D, the<span> </span><strong>HW-Q990F</strong><span> </span>takes home audio to new heights. It features newly engineered dual active subwoofers that deliver robust bass and ultra-low-frequency precision. Plus, a new cube design reduces the subwoofers to approximately half the size of its predecessor<a name="_ftnref1"></a><a href="#_ftn1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>, minimising resonance and blending flawlessly into modern interiors with a refined serrated finish.<span> </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-6259 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-CES-2025-Soundbar-HW-Q990F-HW-QS700F_main2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-CES-2025-Soundbar-HW-Q990F-HW-QS700F_main2.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-CES-2025-Soundbar-HW-Q990F-HW-QS700F_main2-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-CES-2025-Soundbar-HW-Q990F-HW-QS700F_main2-768x511.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The HW-Q990F also delivers advanced AI-driven sound optimisation through features such as:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dynamic Bass Control</strong>: Enhances clarity in low-frequency ranges by utilising non-linear bass management for balanced and reduced distortion sound.</li>
<li><strong>Q-Symphony</strong>: Immerses the user in 3D surround sound by detecting the position of wireless speakers like the Music Frame and automatically optimising audio effects based on its distance and angle.</li>
<li><strong>Active Voice Amplifier Pro</strong>: Provides real-time content analysis that can help reduce background noise and emphasises dialogue for an enhanced viewing experience.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Additionally, the HW-Q990F utilises the Samsung TV’s Neural Processing Unit (NPU) in Q-Symphony mode, making dialogue clearer and delivering more immersive, synchronised audio.<span> </span></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>HW-QS700F: Versatility Meets Elegance and Superior Sound</strong></h3>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The<span> </span><strong>HW-QS700F<span> </span></strong>offers even more versatility in home audio with its sleek design and innovative gyro-sensor technology. Suitable for both wall-mounted and tabletop setups, this soundbar adapts to the user’s space. Its built-in gyro-sensor can automatically detect whether it’s positioned vertically or horizontally, fine-tuning the audio output to ensure optimal clarity and immersive sound in any configuration.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Australia has today announced the expansion of its award-winning 2023 TV line-up by adding a supersized <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/qled-tv/q80c-98-inch-qled-4k-smart-tv-qa98q80cawxxy/">98-inch Samsung QLED Q80C 4K TV</a> to the range. With an RRP of $11,649, Samsung’s QLED Q80C is priced to be the brand’s most accessible Quantum-dot 98-inch TV ever brought to market, delivering on Samsung’s commitment to provide a screen for every experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A recent Kantar Worldpanel report<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a> shows that a larger screen size and the ability to access all key streaming apps are the two most prominent drivers for Australians intending to upgrade their Samsung TV in 2023. Supported by Samsung’s Quantum-dot technology and Tizen Operating System, the 98-inch QLED Q80C offers immersive premium picture quality and prominent streaming and gaming apps built-in, meeting this local demand for customised big screen entertainment experiences at home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“We’ve worked hard to not only pack our premium AV technologies into a 98-inch form factor but to bring the best of Samsung’s entertainment ecosystem including Gaming Hub<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a>, Smart Hub, and Samsung TV Plus to the QLED Q80C TV as standard. Our aim is to deliver the type of no-compromise big screen home cinema experiences that Australians desire while continually working to make them more accessible to more Australians to enjoy,” says Jeremy Senior, Vice-President, Consumer Electronics, Samsung Australia.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Ultra-Large Screen and Mesmerising Quality</h3>
<p>The new Samsung QLED Q80C 4K TV joins Samsung’s 98-inch Neo QLED QN90A TV in the Australian marketplace as ultra-large displays that offer big immersive experiences enhanced by Samsung’s innovative picture optimisation technology and SuperSlim design credentials.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Pairing Direct Full Array and Quantum HDR+ technology<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a> with a Quantum Processor 4K, Samsung’s QLED Q80C uses a deep learning picture enhancement algorithm to upscale content to 4K resolution, providing incredible picture quality with minimal noise<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span>[4]</span></a>. Samsung’s LED zone technology adjusts brightness and black levels for bold contrast, depth and detail while Samsung’s Quantum Dot technology delivers more than 100% colour volume enabling accurate colour reproduction at any level of brightness<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span>[5]</span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At a mere 48.5mm top to bottom, the Q80C’s beautiful SuperSlim design provides a near-bezeless finish to deliver a rich edge-to-edge picture that defies limits and a TV profile that can blend comfortably into virtually any space. Despite its slim bezel, the QLED Q80C packs a powerful punch when it comes to audio, thanks to the inclusion of Dolby Atmos<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span>[6]</span></a>, Object Tracking Sound Lite<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span>[7]</span></a>, and Samsung’s latest generation of Q-Symphony<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span>[8]</span></a>.</p>

<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled its new Neo QLED, MICRO LED and Samsung OLED lineups alongside lifestyle products and accessories ahead of CES<sup>®</sup> 2023. This year’s lineup features advanced, innovative products with a focus on enhanced connectivity and personalised consumer experiences.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s wide portfolio of offerings helps users build their own tailored experiences with the devices they use every day, with more intuitive technology than ever before. This year, Samsung takes one step further in its ever-evolving journey to simplify consumers’ everyday lives with seamless multi-device integration across its entire ecosystem through its smart home platform SmartThings<span>.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p>“In 2023, we are pushing boundaries of innovation to offer consumers more than just premium picture quality, but a holistic, premium device experience tailored to what they need and want out of their connected home,” said Cheolgi Kim, EVP of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “With SmartThings, our advanced technology is seamless and intuitive, making life more sustainable, accessible and enjoyable everyday.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Premium and Connected Experiences with Neo QLED</strong></h3>

Image simulated for illustrative purposes.</p></div>
<p><strong> </strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Samsung’s latest suite of Neo QLED 8K and 4K televisions provide consumers with premium options that suit almost every need. Neo QLED picture quality is powered by Samsung’s advanced Neural Quantum Processor, which supports the Quantum Mini LED-lit TV with 14-bit processing and AI upscaling, enabling features such as Shape Adaptive Light Control and Real Depth Enhancer Pro for a three-dimensional, lifelike picture.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Samsung’s 2023 Neo QLED TVs go beyond just a clear picture, with a high-resolution panel and Samsung’s proprietary algorithm powering Samsung’s new <strong>Auto HDR Remastering</strong>. It uses AI deep learning technology to analyse and apply real-time High Dynamic Range (HDR) effects on Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) content on a scene-by-scene basis, making SDR content bright and lively for even deeper immersion.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p>In addition, <span>SmartThings users no longer need to purchase a separate SmartThings dongle to connect and control Zigbee and Thread devices. In 2023, the SmartThings Zigbee &amp; Matter Thread One-Chip Module will be directly built into Samsung products. </span>And for the ultimate connected device experience, SmartThings<span> automatically syncs devices for easier control of not just Samsung devices, but also third-party appliances and IoT devices</span><a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a><span> for seamless connections. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Samsung’s 2023 Neo QLED range will be available in Australia in Q2 2023. </span></p>

<h3><strong>Everyday S</strong><strong>ustainability</strong><strong> with Samsung Screens</strong></h3>
<p>In line with the latest environmental strategy announced in 2022, Samsung is consistently working with partners and customers to be eco-conscious, providing a broader impact throughout the product’s lifecycle. As a result, each step is made more eco-conscious, from making the manufacturing process more efficient to reducing packaging and changing how consumers use their products.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Recycled Materials:</strong> For the 2023 lineup, Samsung will replace some elements of the SolarCell Remote with materials partly comprised of recycled ocean-bound plastic.</li>
<li><strong>Reducing Manufacturing Impact: </strong>Samsung designed a light-weight injection mold that requires fewer materials, with a structure that can be repurposed, bringing down the overall energy consumption and raw materials needed for production.</li>
<li><span> </span><span><strong>AI Energy Saving Mode:</strong></span><span> Through SmartThings, Samsung’s 2023 TVs support </span><span>AI Energy Saving Mode, helping users save more energy in new ways. </span><span>SmartThings Energy Service on TVs helps reduce carbon footprint of connected devices with simple changes, such as automatic switches to energy saving mode on specific devices when not in use. And with 3D Map View, it will be easier to get a holistic overview of connected devices and put energy saving ideas into practice.</span></li>
<li><strong>Eco-Packaging: </strong>In 2023, Samsung Eco-Packaging will come with minimal print so less ink is consumed in its production, and Samsung will use paper tape to reduce the use of plastic in its packaging. Additionally, package sizes will be reduced to help lower overall carbon emissions.</li>
</ul>
<p><em> </em></p>
<h3><strong>Multidimensional Soundscape and Audio Quality with AI </strong></h3>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Australia has today announced the local availability of its most impressive and extensive range of soundbars, featuring an extended Dolby Atmos line-up and new innovations that will create true cinematic surround sound experiences at home.</p>
<p>The introduction of True Dolby Atmos &amp; DTS:X with 11.1.4ch surround sound to the flagship Q-Series Soundbars is a first of its kind and fills your room with cinematic sound by incorporating 11 channels, one subwoofer channel and four up-firing channels.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Australians appreciate high quality audio as part of their visual experience and the 2021 line-up showcases Samsung’s commitment to innovation with new audio advancements that raise the bar in sound quality,” said Jeremy Senior, Vice President of Consumer Electronics, Samsung Australia.</p>
<p>“Offering the ultimate immersive audio experience at home, the Q950A, engineered by Samsung’s Audio Lab is the perfect match for our new Neo QLED range providing Dolby Atmos Rear Speakers, Spacefit Sound+ and Samsung’s Q-Symphony,” continued Mahdi.</p>
<p>Following the 2020 introduction of the revolutionary Q-Symphony feature, in 2021 Samsung will redefine the sound experience by surrounding you with sound from TV and Soundbar orchestrated in harmony. Q-Symphony uniquely allows TV and Soundbar speakers to operate simultaneously for better surround effect without muting TV speakers.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For a more customised sound experience, SpaceFit Sound+ tailors your TV and compatible soundbar settings by constantly testing reverberations, ensuring the sound is always optimised for the room. Working together, Q-Symphony and SpaceFit Sound+ offers users a total sound collaboration delivering a synchronised sound experience.</p>
<p>“Samsung understands that sound integration and synergy between TVs and soundbars is a key factor sought after by Australians. Through the innovative Q-Symphony and SpaceFit Sound+, the new soundbar range takes immersive audio experiences to the next level through total sound collaboration,” said Jeremy Senior.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung soundbars (Q700 and above) will also support third-party connectivity features including AirPlay 2 and built-in Chromecast ability, offering upgraded usability with casting.
