Samsung Unveils Freestanding, 360° Speakers

As Samsung continues its campaign to dominate electronics industry in just about every category, it makes sense that even home audio would be part of the plan. The South Korean tech behemoth jumps into the audio market with the release of two new speaker models, the WAM6500 and WAM7500, each of which are touted to provide 360º sound throughout the home. Intended to compete with the likes of say, the ARCHT One, Samsung’s devices are both structured around a specially-developed ‘ring radiator’ that disperses sound in all directions, thereby imitating the effects of a surround sound setup. Whether this effect is comparable with the physicality of traditional systems remains to be seen, but willingly experimental parties can pick either of these up beginning in early 2015.
