<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Australia has today unveiled its 2026 home audio range, introducing an expanded portfolio of design-led Wi-Fi speakers and soundbars crafted to deliver more personalised listening experiences for Australians. The line-up includes the all-new <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/audio-devices/wireless-speaker/ls70h-black-hw-ls70h-xy/">Music Studio 7</a> and <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/audio-devices/wireless-speaker/ls51h-white-hw-ls51h-xy/">Music Studio 5</a> wireless speakers, the next generation of powerful <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/audio-devices/soundbar/q990h-black-hw-q990h-xy/">Q-Series soundbars</a>, and refreshed <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/audio-devices/sound-tower/st50f-black-mx-st50f-xy/">Sound Tower models</a>, each refined to complement modern lifestyles while enhancing home theatre experiences. This latest range builds on Samsung’s legacy as the world’s number one soundbar brand for 12 consecutive years<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a> and continues Samsung’s commitment to offer a sound device to suit every Australian lifestyle.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>“Samsung has been at the forefront of how Australians experience sound at home for over a decade. This leadership comes from combining deep audio expertise with a strong understanding of how listening habits have evolved; from immersive TV experiences to streaming music and podcasts. In 2026, we’re building on that foundation with audio that delivers premium performance while adapting seamlessly to everyday life and personal style,” said Simon Howe, Director &#8211; Visual Display and Brand Memory, Samsung Australia.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Our expertly crafted Music Studio series and Q-Series soundbar ranges bring to life this combination of premium performance with timeless designs to meet the needs of various Australian lifestyles. Our latest audio products automatically optimise sound based on what you’re watching or listening to, and your surroundings, delivering a more immersive, personalised experience to every home.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Music Studio 7 &amp; 5 Wi-Fi Speakers: Inspired by the Origin of Sound Itself</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_7790" style="width: 806px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7790" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Print_KV2-4961x3508_CMYK_small-796x563.jpg" alt="" width="796" height="563" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pictured: Black Music Studio 7. Image simulated for illustrative purposes. Cables not shown.</p></div>
<p>The all-new Samsung Music Studio Series is designed to deliver immersive audio for music, podcasts and TV audio, while perfectly harmonising with Australian living spaces. Both Music Studio 7 and <a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/home-audio/wireless-speaker/music-studio-5-dolby-atmos-speaker-sku-hw-ls50h-za/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom">Music Studio 5</a> share a timeless “Dot Design” by renowned designer Erwan Bouroullec, sculpted in minimalist forms to avoid being linked to a particular era or style.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Something very contemporary, like consumer electronics, can quickly become outdated if designed in a style that doesn’t endure. When the style is wrong, even the ergonomics can feel compromised, and the object becomes its own limitation,” said Mr. Bourourllec.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“In a very conscious way, I tried to root the design of the Music Studio models in what I consider the ethos of a speaker: a cone with a point in the middle. That’s what I always saw as a child behind the front cover of a speaker and it’s a shape that our brain computes easily. The finishes of the Music Studio speakers do not clearly evoke a specific material and detailing was reduced to a minimum to balance modernity with a more in-temporal approach. What has emerged is two highly technical and powerful wireless speakers that appear as furniture or art that can sit in a teenagers’ bedroom, in a workshop, or on the mantel of a modern or classically styled home.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Music Studio 7: See the music, listen to the art</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_7797" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7797" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Music-Studio-Real-life-scenarios_11-LS70H-1000x550.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="550" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pictured: Music Studio 7. Image simulated for illustrative purposes.</p></div>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Designed to bring sound and art together, the Music Studio 7 delivers powerful 3.1.1 channel audio, creating rich, clear sound that fills spaces with depth and character. Whether its helicopters flying across a TV screen, an orchestra in a concert hall, or an emerging band with deep bass, Australians can feel fully immersed with support for wired or wireless Dolby Atmos 3D audio<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Complementing the Music Studio 7, the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/home-audio/wireless-speaker/music-studio-5-dolby-atmos-speaker-sku-hw-ls50h-za/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom">Music Studio 5</a> uses a built-in woofer and front-firing tweeters alongside waveguide technology to help direct and spread sound evenly across a room, enabling Australians to enjoy great audio wherever the speaker is placed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Across the Music Studio Series, Hi-Resolution Audio helps enable Australians to hear each layer of music via enhanced decoding and signal processing with support for up to 24‑bit/96 kHz. Samsung’s new Pattern Control technology further refines the experience by directing sound, reducing distortion, and dispersing audio more evenly throughout a space.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Both speakers also utilise AI processing to enhance bass and tailor sound to both content and environment. Dynamic Bass Control<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a> preserves low frequencies and reduces distortion, while SpaceFit Sound Pro<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span>[4]</span></a> customises audio based on room dimensions and layout. Active Voice Amplifier Pro<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span>[5]</span></a> further improves clarity by detecting background noise and enhancing dialogue.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>New in 2026, Q-Symphony supports pairing up to five Samsung sound devices<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span>[6]</span></a>, helping Australians craft a personalised home theatre setup based on their home set-up and passions. The feature can also automatically adjust sound based on where speakers are in the room,<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span>[7]</span></a> helping to provide optimal performance whatever the setup. Via Q-Symphony, both Music Studio models can also be paired with a compatible Samsung TV and soundbar to work in unison for more immersive audio when watching movies and shows<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span>[8]</span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Music Studio 7 and Music Studio 5 can also wirelessly connect to various devices via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, making it easy to play music and podcasts from popular streaming platforms. This includes a special integration with Spotify Tap, which enables Australians to double tap their phone to the Music Studio speaker to launch a playlist of recommended songs tailored to their taste. Another simple double tap again will conjure a fresh playlist – without needing to open your phone<span> <a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9">[9]</a></span>.  Further, two Music Studios can Stereo Play as dedicated left and right channels while up to 10 Music Studio models can connect via Group Play to create a spacious, flowing soundstage that flows naturally throughout the home<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span>[10]</span></a>.</p>

<p><strong>Samsung Q-Series Soundbars: Elevating Home Theatre to New Heights</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_7793" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7793" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Q-Symphony-02-1000x550.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="550" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pictured: Q-Series HW-Q990H alongside Samsung TV soundbar. Cables not shown. Third party speaker stand featured is not available for purchase.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For the ultimate cinematic experience, Samsung Q-Series soundbars continue to deliver powerful, detailed surround sound across all your content. In 2026, Samsung’s Q-Series soundbar range is helmed by the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/home-audio/soundbar/q-series-11-1-4-ch-soundbar-surround-sound-sku-hw-q990h-za/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom">HW-Q990H</a> and supported by the HW-Q930H 9.1.4ch soundbar and <a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/home-audio/soundbar/q-series-5-1-2-ch-soundbar-subwoofer-sku-hw-q800h-za/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom">HW-Q800H</a> 5.1.2ch soundbar, and HW-Q600H 3.1.2ch soundbar.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As the flagship, the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/home-audio/soundbar/q-series-11-1-4-ch-soundbar-surround-sound-sku-hw-q990h-za/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom">HW-Q990H</a> is Samsung’s most immersive soundbar yet, with true 11.1.4 channel sound designed to surround Australians from every angle.<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><span>[11]</span></a> Wireless Dolby Atmos<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><span>[12]</span></a> sound helps crisp sound flow around and above audiences to ensure every beat is heard, just as in a cinema. The HW-Q990H also features a compact dual active subwoofer with AI Dynamic Bass Control<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13"><span>[13]</span></a> which helps ensure powerful bass, while remaining space efficient.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>New across the 2026 Q-Series range<a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><span>[14]</span></a> is Samsung Sound Elevation<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15"><span>[15]</span></a>. This feature enhances listening comfort by using up-firing speakers to expand the perceived height of audio, helping dialogue feel more naturally aligned with on-screen action rather than the soundbar below.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Auto Volume is also now included, designed to reduce sudden volume changes when switching between channels, content, or streaming services<a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16"><span>[16]</span></a>. By analysing incoming audio and normalising levels, it helps ensure a more consistent listening experience without needing to use the remote.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s Q-Series soundbar range is now available in leading retailers nationwide. Pricing is set at dealer discretion with RRPs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Q-Series HW-Q990H/XY: RRP $1,999</li>

<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. 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The accessible A-Series soundbars offers more powerful enhanced sound with upgraded power output in addition to a new Bass Boost Mode feature, providing users the choice to amplify the level of bass to provide a more immersive sound experience. The upgraded S-Series also features dedicated centre speaker and side-firing Horn Speakers for immersive and wide sound experience for users to enjoy their favourite music and movie content.</p>
<p>Samsung’s 2021 Soundbar range will be available through various retail outlets nationally from Friday 5 March. Samsung Q-Series soundbars come with a 100 Day Money Back Guarantee1</p>
