Product description
Product code: 85872141
Elevate and enhance your home entertainment audio with a whopping 410W of immersive 3D sound. Samsung’s compact B550 optimises the sound of every scene being watched while Virtual DTS:X tech surrounds you in audio, placing you at the heart of the action. Its wireless subwoofer ramps up the power (with an extra Bass Boost mode available at the click of a button when you really need to open the throttle), plus a dedicated mode to amplify gaming. And, thanks to Bluetooth Multi Connect, you can wirelessly stream your music from your smart device too, switching seamlessly between TV and top tunes.
3D surround sound with Virtual DTS:X
Experience 3D surround sound without the need for multiple speakers. Virtual DTS:X tech simulates a cinematic experience including sounds coming from overhead, while ensuring dialogue remains clear and centred.
Wireless subwoofer for max power, plus Bass Boost
Ramp up the bass power and max out the thrill of cinematic sound. A wireless subwoofer adds low frequency power, depth and realism to everything you watch. And because it's wireless you have more placement options as it doesn’t need to be linked to the soundbar by a cable. The subwoofer boasts 250W of booming bass, with a special Bass Boost mode to add even more oomph.
Adaptive Sound Lite
Adaptive Sound Lite is always on, meaning the content you are watching will always be optimised with scene based intelligence powered by AI.
Game mode
This special mode automatically configures directional sound to intensify the gaming experience.
Multi Bluetooth connection and HDMI
Connect your compatible TV without the mess of wires thanks to Bluetooth. Stream your top tunes from your Bluetooth smart device too, and switch seamlessly between the two in an instant with multi connection functionality. You also have the option to connect to the TV by HDMI for a top-quality wired connection.
One Remote Control
It comes with Samsung's One Remote so you can control multiple compatible devices with one universal controller.
Expandable
Expand your sound system for the fully cinematic surround sound experience. The B550 is compatible with Samsung’s SWA-9200S wireless rear speakers, which are available separately.
Delivery information: If you buy a large screen TV along with this item, please note that they'll be delivered separately.
