Plus the Bluetooth can be used for wirelessly sending sound from compatible Samsung TVs to the K950.ĭomestic Dolby Atmos systems usually require you to sit in a quite specific 'sweet spot' to get the optimum listening experience. If you'd rather look closer to home for your music sources you can use DLNA to stream music stored on your PCs and NAS drivers. The network options, in conjunction with Samsung's smartphone app, mean you can stream music into the K950 from a wide range of online sources, including TIDAL, Amazon Music, Spotify, TuneIn Radio, Deezer, Napster and – since the system can play back high-resolution audio formats – the '7 digital' website.

But if you've spent big bucks on an audio system like the K950 you'll probably want to get as much use out of it as possible.Īside from the key HDMIs, the K950's other connections comprise an optical digital audio input and a 3.5mm analogue audio input, plus Bluetooth and Wi-Fi network connectivity. It's a pity, perhaps, that the AV pass-through feature only works when the soundbar is switched on. So you can attach 4K sources such as Ultra HD Blu-ray players, the Xbox One S, and a cable box to its two HDMI inputs, and have the Ultra HD (and high dynamic range if available) picture part of the feed passed on to your 4K TV via the K950's HDMI output while the K950 deals with the audio. The K950 also stands out from the pack with its connections, as it's the first Atmos-capable soundbar to support 4K pass-through via HDMI.
Onn dolby atmos soundbar drivers#
That breaks down as three 1.2-inch tweeters, six 2.5-inch mid-range drivers and two 3-inch full-range drivers in the sound bar, four 3-inch full-range drivers in the surrounds, plus the 8-inch bass driver in the subwoofer. Talking of drivers, remarkably for its £1,300 ($1,799, about AU$2,399) price the K950 system carries no less than 16 of them, each with its own dedicated amplifier (total amplification is 500W). As is necessary for any Atmos system, the sound produced by the K950 includes front and rear height channels, delivered by top-mounted drivers firing up at just the right angle to create the 'sphere of sound' that's an Atmos trademark. The K950's driver system is designed in a 5.1.4 configuration, which translates into five channels in the main soundbar, one bass channel from the subwoofer, and four channels from the two rear speakers.
