Samsung understand that a soundbar must be convenient. The perfect solution for rooms where full surround sound packages may not be viable or as a no-fuss introduction to high quality sound, the HW-S801B is a great fit above or below any screen, with minimal height and depth dimensions ensuring an easy fit in a wide range of interiors. The modern, neutral design aligns with just about any home, with the cuboid wireless subwoofer also making a none-intrusive fit.
Ever wanted to put yourself in the middle of the action? Bring yourself closer to the game? The Samsung HW-S801B comes with Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X technology that lets you simulate a sophisticated spatial surround sound experience without the need for a full speaker system. Experience the magic of cinema. The HW-S801B includes upward-firing speakers to expand into an immersive new dimension which lets you settle into the latest object-based audio technology.
If you’re tired of missing out on dramatic line deliveries or characters speaking in hushed conversations, then the HW-S801B has just what you need. Taking the edge over lower soundbars, experience the clarity provided by dedicated centre channel drivers. Using automatic room measurements, this soundbar analyses the background noise of your room with its in-built microphone. Active Voice Amplifier (AVA) technology then optimises dialogue levels to match your room’s ambience.
More than just your standard soundbar, the Samsung HW-S801B is brimming with smart features. Ensuring exquisite sound, optimise your home theatre with SpaceFit, the automatic EQ which uses the in-built microphone to measure and match audio levels to the acoustics of your listening room. The same microphone also enables Amazon Alexa voice assistant for handsfree control. Skip tracks, adjust volume and enjoy stress free listening.
The Samsung HW-S801B has a trick up its sleeve; Q-Symphony sound. In addition to the 3.1.2 channel audio available in this soundbar package, you can also connect with compatible Samsung televisions to collaborate with in-built screen speakers. This instantly expands the scope of your home cinema and adds astonishing depth to every scene. (Compatible with Samsung 2022 TVs, Samsung Frame, and BU8000 and above).
If you’re looking to fill your home with music, then connecting to the HW-S801B is a breeze. Bluetooth, AirPlay2 and Spotify Connect all let you mirror or stream music directly to the soundbar. You can also use the Samsung SmartThings app to play through WiFi or Tap Sound, a seamless way to keep the party going. For a completely wire-free system, you can also connect to compatible TVs via Bluetooth connection, offering an out-the-box setup solution.
