The rear-ported active sub is also modestly sized and finished in matt black with a side-firing 20cm driver. Ideally, it should sit as close to the main soundbar as possible to ensure good integration. Though, as with all subwoofers, it’s worth playing around with placement to get the best balance of sound.
Across the front edge of the main soundbar are the three forward-facing channels: the left and right both consist of a tweeter and a mid-range/bass race-track driver, while the centre is a single wide-range tweeter.
Two upward-facing tweeters provide height channels for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X formats, which are auto-detected by the bar and indicated on the display. The sound from these drivers is enhanced by Samsung’s ‘Acoustic Beam 2.0’ technology – two rows of 23 holes that direct the wavefront upwards and outwards at an angle of 18 degrees to bounce off your ceiling and walls.
