A full surround and Atmos package in one box, with rear speakers and a wireless subwoofer, built for a dedicated movie room. Wireless Atmos needs a recent Samsung TV, so older sets lose that feature.

Overview
Home theater fans who want Dolby Atmos without running speaker wire get a bar, wireless subwoofer and up and side firing rear speakers together. SpaceFit Sound Pro reads the room and tunes the output, and Alexa and AirPlay are built in.
Height channels, rears and a separate subwoofer arrive in one purchase, so the surround effect works from day one. Several headline features lean on a recent Samsung TV, which narrows what other TV owners get.
Who it's for
People with a recent Samsung TV and room for rear speakers get the most complete result. Renters in tight spaces, or owners of other TV brands relying on wireless Atmos, will not use half of it.
Pros and cons
- Rear speakers included
- Up-firing height channels
- Wireless subwoofer placement
- Room calibration with SpaceFit Sound Pro
- Wireless Atmos tied to recent Samsung TVs
- Rear speakers still need power outlets
- Wide bar for smaller TVs
- HDMI input count not listed
Performance notes
Height effects depend on the up-firing drivers bouncing sound off the ceiling, so flat, reflective ceilings at normal height work well. SpaceFit Sound Pro measures the room and adjusts output, while Active Voice Analyzer lifts dialogue above background noise. Rear placement behind the seats sets the depth of the surround field.
