Product details

The curved soundbar delivers unusually room-filling sound and is therefore the perfect audio supplement for your curved Samsung television. Its high-quality design with an elegant aluminum-metal finish matches the curves of the television. Drilling holes in the wall is a thing of the past. The curved soundbar can now be mounted directly on your TV thanks to the new mounting solution. The result is a uniform image of a beautiful unit of devices.

Surround yourself with incredible sound: Great TVs need to sound great. The curved soundbar enhances your curved TV's audio with 350 watts and remarkable 9.1 channel surround sound. Speakers on both sides amplify the surround sound effect, and an extra speaker in the middle provides clearer sound for a more complex and room-filling listening experience.

Play music on different audio devices with Multiroom Link: Control your music from anywhere in your home, no matter which room you are in. Multiroom Link makes it easy to play one music source on multiple audio devices in different locations. The mobile app remotely controls volume and music on your system across various devices, including TV, soundbar, home entertainment system, and Blu-ray Disc player. Listen to what you want, where you want.

Listen to everything in high definition with HD sound: Add amazingly realistic HD audio to your entertainment experience. It reflects the quality and richness of the original sound much more accurately and vividly. You've never been this close to live sound before. To understand how much better HD audio is: CDs have 44.1 kHz/16-bit, while HD audio has 192 kHz/24-bit, providing significantly more digital detail. You'll hear the difference immediately.

Samsung bietet tollen Heimkino-Klang und einfaches Streaming in andere Räume - aber nicht beides auf einmal. Ein Wechsel der Funktionen verlangt ein paar zusätzliche Handgriffe in der App.

  • Positiveansprechendes Design
  • Positiveklangvolle Filmwiedergabe
  • NegativeReaktionszeit der Fernbedienung
  • NegativeStimmvolumen

Dass die Sound die Auszeichnung für den Kauftipp erhält liegt an der Tatsache, dass das Modell einen tollen Filmsound erzeugt und zum anderen auch am Umstand, dass das Design gefällt. Weniger perfekt ist allerdings die Stimmwiedergabe der es an Volumen fehlt. Auch die träge Fernbedienung macht das Handling nicht sehr komfortabel, wobei allerdings das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis überragend ist.
