A 7.1.2-channel system with 13 drivers — including nine wide-range speakers — and a built-in Quad Bass Woofer system deliver deep bass without the need for a separate subwoofer.
Both models feature a dot-inspired design created by designer Erwan Bouroullec, reflecting a minimalist form aligned with Samsung’s design approach.
