This allows any source connected directly to the TV, the built-in tuner and the TV's built-in streaming apps to send audio back to the soundbar. If you have additional devices connected directly to your TV or are using your TV's built-in tuner as a source, then you'll want to connect the soundbar to your TV's HDMI ARC-compatible input (Audio Return Channel). The HW-K950 also provides source switching with two HDMI inputs and an HDMI output to connect to your TV. The Samsung HW-K950 supports HDMI, fiberoptic digital and analog line inputs.
The up-firing rear speakers are built into the surround speakers so there are only two small speaker cabinets that need to be placed in the rear of your room to handle both the surround and rear height duties. The subwoofer module and the rear speakers are all wireless, needing only to be plugged into a power source. In the case of the HW-K950, the front left, center and right speakers are integrated into the main soundbar, as are two upward-firing Dolby Atmos elevation speakers. So a 5.1.4 system has five main speakers surrounding the listener, one subwoofer and four height speakers. After these two numbers comes a third number that represents the number of height speakers that create sound above the listener. As with traditional surround sound speakers, the first number represents how many main speakers there are (typically at ear level) and the second is the number of dedicated bass speakers (subwoofers). Why do they call it 5.1.4? With Dolby Atmos, there's a new speaker nomenclature. Samsung's HW-K950 soundbar comes with a wireless subwoofer and wireless surround speakers for simplified set-up.
Thus the Samsung HW-K950 5.1.4 Channel Soundbar was born. Samsung took advantage of Dolby's elevation speaker concept combined with wireless rear speakers to keep things as simple as possible for the user, while still providing truly immersive surround sound. Last year, Samsung brought the power of Dolby Atmos to a simpler package - a soundbar. Yes, Dolby Atmos was available for home, but only for those willing to make a significant investment in gear, in wiring and in space in their living room.įor those who were not interested in putting speakers on their ceilings, Dolby developed an elevation module: a speaker that could bounce sound off the ceiling in order to create sound from above. Dolby Atmos soundtracks started coming out on Blu-ray and on streaming services such as VUDU. The following year, Dolby Atmos made its entrance into the living room in high-end A/V receivers, preamps and speakers.
Using advanced object-based encoding and a new speaker array that included speakers on the ceiling, Dolby Atmos gave movie-makers the ability to create a more immersive and compelling soundtrack by placing sound all around and above the viewer. In 2012, with the movie "Brave," Dolby brought the next generation of cinematic sound to life with Dolby Atmos.
