Samsung’s burgeoning line of multi-room wireless speakers is about to
expand — in all directions. Following last year’s premiere of the
futuristic M7 and M5 fin-shaped
speakers, Samsung today unveiled to new pods of sound to add to the
fold, the WAM7500, and the WAM6500, both of which will make their debut
next week at CES in Las Vegas.
The
WAM series is designed around a growing new trend in wireless audio in
which speakers emit audio in all directions to fill the room with sound
from any focal point. The new speakers follow other spherical sonic
companions like the similarly designed Kickstarter darling, the Archt
One speaker. Samsung’s new speakers achieve their wafting 360-degree
radius of sound thanks to a proprietary driver design called “Ring
Radiator” technology.
Looking remarkably close to something you’d find on the bridge of a
starship in a sci-fi flick, both of Samsung’s new speakers offer an
attractive way to get your audio fix without rearranging the room, and
are sure to draw attention even in silence. The WAM7500 Table Top
speaker is meant to be the centerpiece of your listening room, while the
smaller WAM6500 is designed for portability, with a handle and a
rechargeable battery on board so you can take the sound with you.
The
Ring Radiator driver configuration is promised to provide balanced
audio across the bass and treble in all directions. Samsung developed
the speakers as the first offering to come out of the company’s shiny
new “state-of-the-art” audio lab in Valencia, CA.
The speakers will connect to Samsung’s Multi-room app, a Sonos-like system that
allows the user to play audio from multiple sources including
smartphones, computers, and Internet services, as well as working in
tandem with select Samsung TVs, Blu-ray players, and sound bars.
In addition to its new pods of sound, Samsung has announced a few new curved sound bars designed to match its line of curved LED TVs.
Joining Samsung’s curved 7500 model are three new models, including the
6000, the 6500, and the 8500 for an array of sizes from 45 to 78-inches
to match up with just about any curved TV in the Samsung fleet.
We’ll have an in-depth look at all of Samsung’s new audio gear from the CES showroom floor in Vegas next week, so stay tuned.
