With the HW-Q950T, the South Korean group is launching a 9.1.4-channel system on the market that is second to none. The nine-channel soundbar will be delivered including a wireless active subwoofer with side-firing and four surround satellites, also wirelessly connected. In combination with the high speakers already integrated into the Soundbar, the two rear loudspeakers radiating upwards allow not only true surround sound but also the native processing of multidimensional, object-based audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS: X. Driven by an output power (RMS) of 564 Watts, every living room quickly turns into a home cinema.
Samsung also offers a whole range of proprietary additional functions such as the coupling of mobile Samsung devices via Sound Tap. Furthermore, the Adaptive Sound feature ensures that the sound is appropriate for each scene. This feature helps to follow the conversation better, especially in dialogues. Samsung, which is known for its TVs, has also added Q-Symphony to the soundbar, which allows the soundbar to be synchronised with current Samsung TVs (from Q80T) and, in combination with the TV’s integrated speakers, provides a particularly full and atmospheric sound experience. In addition, the Q950T can of course also be used with TVs from other manufacturers. Ultra HD Blu-ray players can also be connected to the HW-Q950T via HDMI, with all HDMI connections supporting 4K and HDR. The Q950T is one of the few that can handle both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. The integration of HDMI eARC enables lossless, high-quality sound. Other notable features include the SmartThings app, which supports both Android and iOS, and an integrated voice assistant, which makes the soundbar very easy to use. It can also be controlled via Alexa.
Conclusion
With a stylish design, the HW-Q950T 9.1.4-channel Samsung soundbar is much more suitable for everyday use than its predecessors. With angled corners and a fabric cover from Kvadrat, it is guaranteed to make a good impression in any environment. The Q950T uses state-of-the-art technology to deliver an impressive surround sound experience.
