Samsung Q-Series HW-Q990H 11.1.4ch Dolby Atmos Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer and Rear Speakers - Black | HW-Q990H/XU

Product Description

23 speakers, 11.1.4 channels, and the rear speakers are in the box

This is the top of Samsung's soundbar range and the only configuration that delivers genuine surround without asking you to buy anything else. Twenty-three drivers across 11.1.4 channels - front, side, up-firing, a dedicated centre, a 300 W subwoofer with dual 8-inch units, and two wireless rear speakers that also fire upwards. Everything but the bar connects wirelessly, so the only cables are power. If you have wanted a real home cinema without running speaker wire around the skirting boards, this is it.

11.1.4 channels from 23 speakers
Eleven surround channels, one subwoofer channel and four height channels, produced by 23 individual drivers. This is a genuine object-based Atmos layout, not a stereo bar with processing applied.

Wireless rear speakers included
Two wireless rear speakers ship in the box, each with its own up-firing driver. They need a power socket and nothing else - no speaker cable back to the bar.

300W subwoofer with dual 8-inch drivers
A compact subwoofer carrying two 8-inch units and 300 W, with AI Dynamic Bass Control managing the low end in real time so it stays full at low volume and controlled at high volume.

Wireless Dolby Atmos
With a compatible Samsung TV the full Atmos stream travels over Wi-Fi rather than HDMI, which removes the last cable between the television and the bar.

Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Eclipsa Audio
Decodes Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS:X, and adds Eclipsa Audio - the IAMF-based format - so it is ready for the next wave of spatial content.

Q-Symphony
Instead of silencing the television, Q-Symphony recruits the TV's own speakers to play alongside all 23 drivers, adding height and width from the panel itself.

SpaceFit Sound Pro
A built-in microphone measures your actual room - hard floors, glass, soft furnishings - and calibrates every channel to suit it rather than assuming an ideal space.

HDMI 2.1 with 4K 120Hz passthrough
Two HDMI inputs and an eARC output, with 4K 120 Hz video passthrough - so a PS5 or Xbox Series X can run through the bar at full frame rate rather than being plugged straight into the TV.

Game Pro Mode
A dedicated gaming mode that widens the field and sharpens positional cues, so footsteps and direction are easier to place in competitive play.

Active Voice Amplifier Pro
AVA Pro listens to the room and lifts dialogue when something else competes with it, so you stop reaching for the remote during quiet scenes.

Sound Elevation and Personal Listening Mode
Sound Elevation raises the perceived height of the stage so dialogue comes from the screen, while Personal Listening Mode tailors the output to your preference.

Streams from everything
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, AirPlay, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and Roon Ready - it is a serious music system between films, with FLAC, ALAC, WAV and AIFF decoding.

Alexa built in
Amazon Alexa runs on the soundbar itself with Google Assistant compatibility, plus SmartThings and the Samsung Sound app for setup and tuning.
