Two-minute reviewven though the Samsung HW-Q950A stretches the sound bar definition to the fullest, really comprising four bits separated from kit, there is nothing about its appearance that prepares it for the sound scale.

The main sound bar is more than a meter wide, but slim enough to get under the screen of most today’s televisions. The bars are heavy but sufficiently compact to easily fit into a bookshelf, and despite carrying an unusually large 8-inch driver, the subwoofer has a fairly thin profile to hide on the side of a sofa or under a sideboard.

Hidden within the set of relatively free HW-Q950A speakers is a remarkable, unprecedented, in fact, 16 sound channels, delivered through 22 speakers. And driving all those sound channels is a Mammoth 616W of the unbridled audio power.

While HW-Q950A HW-Q950A power masses may not be obvious only when looking at it, it becomes happily obvious when it turns it. The soundtracks of the film explode from each speaker with enough power and projection to fill even the larger living rooms, putting you in the heart of the action more completely than with any other sound bar. Especially, since the two new channels of HW-Q950A fill the slight gaps that existed previously on each shoulder.

Samsung star sound bar for 2021

Sound bars are now available for less than £ 100, and you can have some very impressive models for only $ 400 / £ 400 / AU $ 550. However, Samsung HW-Q950A costs $ 1,499.99 / £ 1,599 / au $ 1,999. Oh.

However, as we will see, through a combination of the large number of physical speakers, channels and the power it offers, the HW-Q950A has a good stab when justifying its price. In fact, there is no other sound bar at this time, that is capable of providing as many real audio channels. However, for the price you could, almost, get a pretty good separate system.

The HW-Q950A is now available in each important territory around the world.

16 sound channels in an 11.1.4 configuration

The HW-Q950A sound bar is much more than just a sound bar. Yes, the usual form of a slim and thin speaker designed to sit under the screen of your TV is needed. But this unit is attached by a large subwoofer with a huge 8-inch controller, and a pair of wireless ‘shelf’ shelf, which, despite its compact size, contain three controllers each. One shoots up for height effects with Dolby Atmos / DTS: x sources; Another faced forward towards his seat position; The third faces the back side of his room.

The main sound bar continues the subject of being filled with the point of explosion with the speakers. As well as the dedicated channels of the front center, left and forward that I hope to see with a serious sound bar, there are two more complementary drivers, two drivers firing to one side and two other drivers who shoot forward at an angle to deliver effects of Medium side reflected from its walls.

Since several of these channels must bounce their walls or sound ceilings to obtain the best effect, you should consider whether the design and distribution of your room adapt to the needs of HW-Q950A. For example, the vaulted or barrel ceilings will not help the effects of height, and the great disparities in the distance between the walls on the left and right of the sound bar could cause some equilibrium problems.
