Samsung will today announce a new soundbar range which now includes the Company’s first 11.1.4 channel soundbar package.
The flagship Q950A is a seriously top end bar that comers with a wireless subwoofer and two 9500s wireless surround speakers.
If that is too top heavy for you Samsung is set to sell a separate 9500 2.0.2 wireless surround kit which are an upgrade on older models as they include both side-firing and upward-firing drivers.
The big difference this year is that owners get ‘Q-Symphony’ technology, which allows the soundbar to work in conjunction with the TV’s own speakers for an even bigger sound experience.
The new upward drivers available with the Q950A also support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround technology, to really experience this ask to hear the Atmos demo which Dolby have developed for Samsung.
