Know before you buy
This configuration includes five main channels for surround sound, one dedicated subwoofer channel for deep bass, and two up-firing speakers. The up-firing speakers bounce sound off your ceiling to create a vertical, 3D audio effect that makes overhead sounds, like rain or planes, feel more realistic.
Yes, Q-Symphony is designed to work specifically with compatible Samsung TVs. It allows the soundbar and your TV's built-in speakers to play simultaneously, creating a wider and more synchronized soundstage than either could produce alone.
The subwoofer connects to the soundbar wirelessly, meaning you don't need to run an audio cable across your room. However, it still requires a connection to a standard wall power outlet to function.
The system uses built-in microphones to analyze the acoustics of your specific room. It then automatically adjusts the audio output and equalization to ensure the sound is balanced and clear, regardless of your room's size or furniture layout.
Yes, the soundbar supports Wi-Fi streaming via Chromecast and Spotify Connect. You can play music directly from your smartphone or tablet apps without needing to turn on your television.
Game Mode Pro automatically optimizes the audio settings when it detects a gaming console is in use. It enhances directional sound cues, making it easier to pinpoint in-game actions like footsteps or gunfire, while providing a more immersive soundscape.
