“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.”

HW-Q990F: Redefining Flagship Audio Performance

Samsung unveils new Q-series HW-Q990F. Image simulated for illustrative purposes.

As the successor to the highly acclaimed HW-Q990D, the HW-Q990F 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^[1], minimising resonance and blending flawlessly into modern interiors with a refined serrated finish. 

The HW-Q990F also delivers advanced AI-driven sound optimisation through features such as:

• Dynamic Bass Control: Enhances clarity in low-frequency ranges by utilising non-linear bass management for balanced and reduced distortion sound.
• Q-Symphony: 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.
• Active Voice Amplifier Pro: Provides real-time content analysis that can help reduce background noise and emphasises dialogue for an enhanced viewing experience.

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. 

HW-QS700F: Versatility Meets Elegance and Superior Sound

The HW-QS700F 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.

Samsung’s new Q-series HW-QS700F can be positioned vertically or horizontally to meet the needs of the user. Image simulated for illustrative purposes.

With its slim, modern profile, the HW-QS700F integrates into virtually any room. Its adaptive design offers flexibility without compromising style, making it the perfect companion for a cinematic wall-mounted display or a minimalist tabletop setup. This soundbar delivers an audio experience as sophisticated as its design — ideal for users who demand both elegance and performance.

The Q-Series HW-Q990F and HW-QS700F will be available in Australia in the first half of 2025. Pricing is yet to be announced.

Introducing the new 98-inch Samsung QLED 4K TV (Q80C) — an ultra-large screen designed to fuel Australian’s entertainment passions and pride for their home. Image simulated for illustrative purposes.

Samsung Electronics Australia has today announced the expansion of its award-winning 2023 TV line-up by adding a supersized 98-inch Samsung QLED Q80C 4K TV 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.

A recent Kantar Worldpanel report[1] 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.

“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[2], 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.

Whether wall-mounted or free-standing, Samsung’s stunning QLED Q80C 4K Smart TV is designed to be the stylish centre of the Australian smart home. Image simulated for illustrative purposes. Cable not shown.

Ultra-Large Screen and Mesmerising Quality

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.

Pairing Direct Full Array and Quantum HDR+ technology[3] 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[4]. 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[5].

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[6], Object Tracking Sound Lite[7], and Samsung’s latest generation of Q-Symphony[8].

The Samsung 98-inch QLED Q80C 4K Smart TV pairs perfectly with the flagship HW-Q990C Q-Series Soundbar to deliver an immersive, cinematic experience. Image simulated for illustrative purposes. Cables not shown. Soundbar sold separately.

Built for Your Favourite Content

With the QLED Q80C as the centrepiece of their smart home, Australians can get the most out of a connected home experience thanks to the built-in Smart Hub feature. Bringing Entertainment, Gaming, Ambient options, and SmartThings together into one place[9], the QLED Q80C can help users manage various connected devices and appliances across the home, adding a new layer of convenience to everyday routines[10].

Supporting 4K resolution at 120 frames per second via HDMI 2.1, the QLED Q80C provides ultra-high bandwidth for compatible gaming devices to help keep Australians ahead of their virtual-world competition[11]. Ultra-wide Game View, which offers a flexible aspect ratio – from 16:9 to 32:9 – paired with Game Bar puts gamers in control by letting them check Variable Refresh Rates at speed, while Xbox Game Pass[12] offers console-free cloud gaming[13].

With Samsung’s TV Plus service offering 91+ channels and thousands of on-demand, subscription-free shows[14], the 98-inch QLED Q80C enables Australians to feel as immersed in a movie as they are at a cinema directly from home.

Pricing and Availability

The Samsung 98-inch QLED Q80C 4K Smart TV is available now from authorised resellers and Samsung’s Online Store. The QLED Q80C’s ultra-large predecessor – the Neo QLED 98″ QN90A 4K Smart TV – continues to range in select retailers and via Samsung’s Online Store.

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.

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.

The introduction of True Dolby Atmos & 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.

“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.

“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.

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.”

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.

“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.

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. This is a first for Samsung soundbars and will further allow users to seamlessly cast their music to their Samsung soundbar without turning on their TV.

The 2021 Soundbar range will be available starting from Friday 5th March at selected retailers and online.

Samsung Electronics showcased its 2021 lineup of MICRO LED, Samsung Neo QLED, lifestyle TVs, monitors, and soundbars at its virtual Unbox & Discover event. As people spend more time at home, Samsung’s latest innovations let consumers get the most from their screens—allowing them to work efficiently, communicate effectively, and explore their personal passions.

“At Samsung, we are proud to constantly innovate to improve consumers’ everyday lives. Over the past year, technologies that were once ‘nice to have’ became a need, as our homes became offices, schools, gyms, and more,” said James Fishler, Senior Vice President, Home Entertainment Division, Samsung Electronics America. “The role of the TV in our lives has grown—and in 2021, Samsung continues to redefine the role of TV around the needs and passions of consumers.”

For decades, TVs were seen simply as a way to watch movies and shows; now, TVs are serving as conference rooms and fitness hubs. By taking advantage of many features for the first time this past year, people are re-examining the role that their TV plays in their lives.

Beyond Samsung’s innovative approach to new features, our leadership in picture performance has made Samsung the number one global TV manufacturer for 15 consecutive years. In 2021, Samsung continues to break new ground to offer consumers extraordinary viewing experiences.

MICRO LED Comes Home

With superb brightness, deep blacks, and breathtaking image quality, MICRO LED technology offers a groundbreaking viewing experience that lasts. Its inorganic LEDs help prevent burn-in and ensure the screen stays vibrant over its lifetime.

In 2018, Samsung introduced MICRO LED in the form of “The Wall”—a configurable system of modules that can reach an astounding 292 inches for an experience like no other. With its inherent flexibility, “The Wall” requires professional installation in the home or office.

In 2021, Samsung brings all the power of MICRO LED technology in the form factor of a traditional TV experience. Now, consumers can take home the cinematic experience in a beautiful edge-to-edge screen design, with no need for professional assembly and installation. MICRO LED is available in 110’’ and 99’’ sizes globally beginning at the end of March; an 88’’ size is launching this fall; and a 76’’ is on the future roadmap.

MICRO LED can become 4 screens in one. With 4Vue (Quad View), consumers can watch up to four sources of content simultaneously. Keep up with multiple sports at once, or stream a walkthrough while playing a video game. MICRO LED brings true-to-life picture quality at an enormous scale—out of the box.

Samsung Neo QLED Fits Any Home and Every Passion

As people turn to TVs as an outlet for their passions, Samsung developed Samsung Neo QLED to enhance the viewing experience, no matter what you are watching. The Samsung Neo QLED viewing experience is defined by our Neo Quantum Processor, and new Quantum Mini LEDs. At just 1/40^th the size of conventional LEDs, Quantum Mini LEDs allow for ultra-fine light control. With deep blacks, bright lights, and upscaling technology smarter than any Samsung TV has ever offered, Samsung Neo QLED delivers an ultra-realistic picture—whether you are watching a football game, or playing one on your gaming console.

Samsung Neo QLED also offers features that level up gaming. Samsung is proud to be the Official TV Partner of Xbox Series X in the United States and Canada. With Xbox and Samsung renewing their multi-year agreement this year, the two companies will continue working together to offer an unbeatable gaming experience. Samsung Neo QLED and QLED offer cutting-edge capabilities that make them a phenomenal companion to next-gen gaming with Xbox Series X. In addition, Samsung Neo QLED and QLED let you see virtually every detail with incredible 4k clarity, a silky-smooth 120 frames per second, and a low 5.8ms response time.

In order to further deliver optimized gaming performance to the 2021 Samsung Neo QLED and QLED line, Samsung has also partnered with AMD to develop the first TV with Freesync Premium Pro support for both PC and console games to deliver a truly exceptional HDR gaming experience. Additionally, Samsung’s new Game Bar helps players quickly monitor critical aspects of play. You can use it to access Samsung’s Super Ultrawide Gameview, which brings ultra-wide aspect ratios—traditionally only available on gaming monitors—to the TV.

For those with a passion for fitness, Samsung Neo QLED brings athletic training and healthy living to the home. Last year, when people weren’t able to go to the gym, many sought ways to stay fit at home. Samsung Health, a comprehensive fitness and mindfulness platform launched in the spring of 2020, met this need. Samsung Health helped us stay fit with partner apps for every style of fitness and health, along with seamless connectivity to mobile devices and wearables.

In 2021, Samsung Health adds the benefit of a Smart Trainer. With an optional camera sold separately, the Smart Trainer utilizes AI to analyze your posture and provide real-time feedback to improve your form as you follow instructional videos.

In 2021, Samsung Neo QLED’s 8K models (QN800A and QN900A) will be available in 65’’, 75’’, and 85’’ sizes, while the 4K models (QN90A and QN85A) will reflect an even wider selection, starting at 50’’.

TV Technology That Reflects Your Style Indoors or Outdoors

Consumers today expect experiences tailored to their needs, personal tastes, and style. The Lifestyle TV category offers screens designed for every consumer and every space—in and outside the home.

The Frame transforms the TV into a work of art that can be personalized to fit your aesthetic and decor. With new partnerships in the Art Store,¹ like NAVA Contemporary and Etsy, The Frame features more original artwork to match individual tastes. It also includes AI-based auto-curation technology that recommends artwork based on your selections. Curate your own personal art collection with a growing library of over 1,400 pieces of art from world-renowned institutions. The Frame also features increased photo storage space from 500 megabytes in 2020 to 6 gigabytes in 2021, so you can store up to 1,200 photos (all) in UHD quality. From beloved classics to stunning photography, the Art Store gives you access to a variety of content to personalize your space.

In 2021, there are new ways to customize the Frame itself—from new mounting options like the Slim Fit Wall Mount to five bezel options and more from third party providers. Additionally, we have made the 2021 Frame slimmer than ever: just 24.9 millimeters thick, about the same depth as an actual picture frame. It’s just as appealing off as when it’s on.

Samsung is also offering a new way to display the 2021 Frame, with My Shelf, a new accessory releasing globally later this year that lets you create a tailored wall with personal touches to complement your screen and décor. My Shelf can be attached to the 55 inch, 65 inch, and 75 inch Frame sizes, and will be available in four different colors: beige, white, brown, and black.

For those who miss the movie theater experience, The Premiere, the industry’s first triple laser projector with 4K resolution, represents the next stage in home cinema—all in a compact package. Traditional beam projectors can be clunky and difficult to set up—and even if they offer a big screen, the resolution is sometimes far below an ordinary TV. The Premiere’s minimalist design, with rounded edges and a fabric finish, fits neatly into any home. To help consumers use the Premiere anywhere in their home, we are going to be offering rollable screens optimized for the Premiere later this year on Samsung.com. Just position the Premiere around 5 inches or further from a monotone wall or ALR screen, and break out the popcorn.

In 2020, Samsung took its industry-leading picture performance from inside the home to the yard—just as consumers were looking to get outdoors. With The Terrace, our first outdoor TV, consumers can enjoy the picture quality, audio performance, and smart features they expect from Samsung outside. And they can do so worry-free; The Terrace is weather-resistant, with an IP55 rating to protect against water and dust. It is also simple to install, and easy to connect to cable service and a Wi-Fi network. The Terrace is available in 55”, 65”, and a new 75” Full Sun model² is coming in time for summer.

Screens Suited for Every Need – From Productivity to Play

In 2020, the relevance of the monitor at home changed dramatically. For many, this meant additional screens for multiple needs. Suddenly, a screen that was used to shop online or surf social media became critical to daily life, as consumers used it to make the most of work, school, and play.

To fulfill this demand, the Smart Monitor is Samsung’s first “do-it-all” monitor—uniting the best of monitor and TV. Smart Monitor is compatible with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Wireless DeX, and Apple AirPlay 2, letting consumers work from anywhere without needing to connect to a PC. With AirPlay 2, customers can stream, control, and share their favorite content directly from their iPhone, iPad, or Mac to their monitor. When you need to relax, you can enjoy your favorite shows by turning on the Smart TV platform and accessing your preferred streaming apps. Smart Monitor helps consumers stay productive when they need to be—and entertained when they need a break.

In 2020, the Odyssey G9 gaming monitor generated a lot of buzz—this year, Samsung is leveling up the experience with a Quantum MiniLED display and premium gaming features. The 1000R screen curvature, combined with Quantum MiniLED display technology, gives gamers an experience unlike any other. The new G9 joins Samsung’s full lineup of curved and flat Odyssey gaming monitors.

To enable a new way of learning and working while staying safe, we are introducing the Samsung Interactive Display FLIP 75-inch,a digital whiteboard you can write, draw, and edit on. The Flip offers connective features for hybrid working and learning to help consumers succeed—whether in the classroom, the office, or at home. With optimized 4K picture quality and easy-to-read visuals, a team of up to 20 can work simultaneously to sync personal devices for real-time content sharing. The Flip allows users to see a coworker’s or teacher’s presentation as if they were there in person—offering the ability to work together while staying safe. Designed to foster greater collaboration, increase productivity, and enable a seamless exchange of ideas, the 75-inch display joins the 55-inch, 65-inch, and 85-inch display.

Sound That Matches the Visual

While Samsung TVs offer incredible sound from the tiniest of speakers, nothing rounds out the home theater experience like the addition of a Samsung soundbar. The 2021 Q Series lineup includes exclusive Q-Symphony tech, syncing audio from the Samsung TV to deliver enhanced 3-dimensional sound. The soundbar even measures its environment to project audio precisely where it needs to be.

For a full, deep and rich immersive experience, the Q950A boasts the industry’s first 11.1.4 channel sound bringing you right into the center of the action. Its new Bass Boost feature allows users to add “more boom” with a simple click. For those who play music from their mobile devices, Tap Sound makes it as simple as tapping a device to the soundbar. And the Q950A works with multiple voice assistants, including Amazon Alexa and Bixby—making it easy to take full control of the listening experience.

Passions, Style, Tastes, and Needs

In 2021, Samsung complements your passions, adjusts to your tastes, and delivers performance that enhances all experiences. From the pinnacle of luxurious performance in MICRO LED, to the aesthetic appeal of The Frame, Samsung redefines the role of the TV in your home—at a time when the TV is more relevant than ever.

Samsung Electronics Australia has today announced the Australian pricing and availability of its 2020 QLED 8K range, which includes two models, the Q950T and Q800T.

Available in 85-inch, 82-inch, 75-inch and 65-inch screen sizes, the 2020 QLED 8K range has been selected to meet Australian demand for large screen formats and deliver the pinnacle of Samsung QLED picture quality, definition, and immersive viewing.

“Last year, Samsung was the first brand to launch 8K TV in Australia. We continue to pioneer the premium TV category with further breakthroughs that are delivered in the next generation in 8K QLED TVs.

“The Q950T QLED 8K is the marquee television in Samsung’s 2020 range and is the ultimate in our big-screen innovation and design. It delivers content that seems breathtakingly real. It feels like you could step right into it. This picture quality is impeccable and is presented in a stunning and sleek design.

“Our latest QLED 8K range is designed with an Infinity Screen which provides a fresh, new take on TV form factor that is sure to impress those seeking the very best that Samsung has to offer.” Hass Mahdi, Director of AV, Samsung Electronics Australia.

Samsung’s flagship QLED 8K TV range combines a striking, ultra-thin form factor, amazing 8K picture quality, and impressive surround-sound audio. Plus, the Q950T introduces the ‘Infinity Screen,’ allowing the picture to etch right to the edge, offering a nearly 99 per cent pure screen to body ratio.

“We’ve been incredibly considered with the development of our 2020 TV and AV range. Entertainment through TV, movies, streaming, gaming and music, brings us together and we’re committed to delivering products, like QLED 8K that enhance our lifestyle in and around the home.” Hass Mahdi, Director of AV, Samsung Australia.

Uncompromised Viewing Experience

Equipped with the AI-enabled Quantum Processor 8K, it has built-in 8K AI upscaling and deep-learning capabilities that are designed to automatically upscale non-8K content to pristine 8K resolution. Whether people enjoy sports, movies, TV shows in HD, 4K, or 8K, formats, this range of TVs can detect, transform, and deliver content through an incredibly sophisticated AI system which includes on-board upscaling and ‘deep learning’ algorithms.1

Refining the Picture Experience for any Setting

With a feature called Adaptive Picture, it can optimise the screen to both ambient conditions and individual images. Further supporting the picture quality and design enhancements of the QLED 8K lineup, the 8K ecosystem continues to expand, providing seamless playback for 8K content from providers like YouTube and devices that capture 8K content, like the Samsung Galaxy S20.

The adoption of AV1 codec allows for better compression rates, and enables the support of HDR10+ technology, image dimensionality, brightness optimisation, and contrast ratio.

Breakthroughs in Samsung Audio Innovation

Building off the picture quality amplification are the QLED 8K’s incredible sound features –Object Tracking Sound+ (OTS+), and Active Voice Amplifier. Object Tracking Sound+ uses multiple speakers placed around the chassis of the TV for an enhanced surround-sound immersion to match the breathtaking on screen images.2

 
When paired with the HQ-Q800T soundbar, the TV’s speakers sync with the soundbar in a feature known as Q-Symphony to serve as an additional audio channel and create a more dynamic soundscape. These features are designed to maximise cinematic sound by delivering dimensional and dynamic audio that corresponds with large screen viewing experiences.3

 
Active Voice Amplifier is engineered to produce clarity in verbal scenarios at just the right time, elevating the sound of voice over the background noise to ensure clear and consistent audio in your favourite scenes.

The Samsung Q Series, T Series, and the design-focused S Series soundbars offer a broad selection of premium solutions for almost any household. The 2020 soundbar range is also engineered to complement Samsung’s latest QLED TV range through a new innovation that combines TV and soundbar speakers called, Q-Symphony.

The premium Q Series is a perfect match for QLED with Samsung Acoustic Beam Technology, adding depth and surround sound that makes your entertainment come alive. The accessible T Series product features include 3D surround sound via DTS Virtual X support, and powerful wireless bass that you can feel.

Created to be a stylish and smart standalone soundbar as well as an amazing stereo speaker system when required, the S Series features side-firing Horn Speakers that create a wide soundscape, incorporating Samsung’s Acoustic Beam technology to deliver an impressive sense of height. When combined, these fill the room with immersive sound equally suited to music and movie content. The compact all-in-one body design with premium textile wrap by Kvadrat also allows the soundbar to fit comfortably under Samsung televisions without obscuring the screen.

“Samsung is deeply invested in engineering and designing amazing audio products that create a highly immersive listening and TV viewing experience for the home,” said Hass Mahdi, Director of the Audio Visual Division, Samsung Australia. “The Q Series, T Series and S Series ranges are an incredible extension of our commitment to delivering a stunning range of soundbars that will offer Australians the ultimate in Samsung design, innovation and audio.”

The Q800T, Q70T and Q60T soundbars offer Samsung’s proprietary Acoustic Beam technology feature, along with the revolutionary Q-Symphony feature, which harnesses the power of Samsung’s 2020 QLED 8K TVs by synchronising the soundbar and in-TV speakers for a truly immersive surround sound experience.

For smarter, easier integration into consumers’ lives, the Q800T soundbar also comes with the choice of Samsung’s Bixby voice assistant or Amazon Alexa compatibility, and has wireless connectivity, allowing Australians to connect their soundbar to their TV via Wi-Fi to reduce cable clutter.

In addition, the Q800T and Q70T soundbars are equipped with True Dolby ATMOS and DTS:X surround sound technology, which delivers cinematic sound by having both overhead and directional sound for an incredibly immersive experience.

Samsung is also happy to guarantee Australians peace of mind in their soundbar purchase by covering their Q Series soundbars (Q800T, Q70T & Q60T) with a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee.* from launch until the 31st of July, 2020.
