Samsung has announced HW-K950, the company’s first Soundbar with Dolby Atmos technology. “This is the industry’s first soundbar package to include two Dolby Atmos-enabled wireless rear speakers,” said Samsung. It delivers 5.1.4-channel sound, is just 2.1” high, and has a slim and sleek design.
It uses three forward-facing and two upwards-facing speakers that promises a rich, yet detailed sound for realistic experience. It connects wirelessly to the subwoofer and rear speaker units, so it doesn’t require ceiling-fitted speakers for a 3D audio experience.
Samsung introduced R1, R3 and R5 Wireless Audio 360 Speakers back in August last year, ahead of IFA 2015, now it has introduced the R5 speakers in new colors and patterns. “These are designed to complement the décor of any room and bring audio content throughout the home,” said Samsung.
Samsung will showcase the new Soundbar, new color variants of the R5 Wireless Audio 360 Speakers and other products at the CES in Las Vegas from January 6th to 9th, 2016. We will be there at the event to bring you more details about the Soundbar and other devices.
Regarding the new Samsung Soundbar, Doug Darrow, Senior Vice President, Dolby Laboratories, said:
Dolby Atmos has received overwhelming support from major studios and continues to expand into other form factors, including the new Samsung HW-K950 Soundbar, which allows more consumers to bring an unrivaled sound experience into their homes. Consumers can experience sound that comes alive from all directions, including overhead, to fill their home theaters with astonishing clarity, power, detail and depth.
