Samsung has announced its new 2024 soundbars with features like wireless Dolby Atmos and Roon compatibility.
Along with its new collection of 4K and 8K TVs, Samsung has debuted a few new soundbars at CES 2024, including an update to its critically acclaimed HW-Q990 Dolby Atmos flagship.
Like its predecessors, the 2024 HW-Q990D is a 22-driver, 11.1.4-channel system with support for wireless Dolby Atmos if you own a compatible Samsung TV. It also retains its 4K 120Hz passthrough capability for smooth video performance when gaming. But new to the Q990 is certified Roon support. Unless you’re a dedicated audiophile, you may not be familiar with Roon, a subscription-based music discovery and management platform that can best be described as iTunes for serious audio nerds. It also lets you manage multiple speakers and audio devices throughout your home.
Soundbars with Roon compatibility are something of a rarity, as these speaker systems aren’t generally seen as audiophile-grade.
