Description
Samsung HW-Q990C Powered 11.1.4-channel sound bar system with Wi-Fi, Apple AirPlay® 2, Dolby Atmos®, and DTS:X
Big Dolby Atmos sound from a compact system
The Samsung HW-Q990C brings the joy of home theater-like excitement with cinematic, room-filling sound. This system rocks a whopping “11.1.4” channels, including dedicated up-firing and side-firing drivers in both the sound bar and rear surround speakers. This combination gives you true wraparound and overhead effects for sound that feels like it’s coming from direction.
There’s a compact subwoofer included, too, which adds deep bass impact to match the on-screen action. Both the sub and the rear speakers connect to the bar wirelessly for easy placement. Just keep in mind that you’ll need to plug the sub, bar, and each rear speaker into AC power, per usual.
Complementary design
Samsung designed this bar to work seamlessly with their impressive QLED TVs, letting you control and adjust the settings for both the TV and the sound bar with the Samsung TV’s remote. And Samsung’s Q-Symphony feature lets the sound bar and your compatible TV’s speakers play together for even bigger sound. (Q-Symphony requires a wired connection between the bar and TV.)
It’s also one of the few bars on the market that supports wireless Dolby Atmos. You can pass an Atmos signal from a compatible 2023 Samsung TV via Wi-Fi for cinematic home theater sound with less cable clutter.
Crystal-clear dialogue
The HW-Q990C has a dedicated center channel to make quiet conversations easier to hear. Plus, smart processing optimizes your sound settings and amplifies voices based on each scene you watch, keeping dialogue intelligible even at low volumes.
Convenient music streaming
You can play your favorite tunes straight from your smartphone with the bar’s built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The HW-Q990C also comes with Apple AirPlay 2 for easy streaming from iOS® devices.
Built-in Alexa voice control
With Amazon Alexa built-in, you can even control the sound bar with the sound of your voice. If you’re an audiobook addict like me, you can just say “Alexa, play Audible” to pick up right where you left off.
4K and HDR passthrough
The HDMI connections on the bar allow 4K video passthrough and support HDR10 and HDR10+ (High Dynamic Range). This makes sure you’re maintaining the high-contrast Ultra HD signal from a connected Blu-ray player or gaming console all the way to your TV.
Gaming-friendly
Clear audio cues are key for competitive, immersive gaming. The HW-Q990C’s Game Pro Mode automatically tracks directional sounds to match what’s happening in the game world, including overhead effects, for a smooth gaming experience.
Bluetooth® with just a tap
The HW-Q990C’s built-in Bluetooth can wirelessly stream your favorite tunes directly from your phone. If you use a Samsung phone, you can just tap it on the bar to start casting audio (requires Android™ OS 8.1 and higher and the SmartThings app). Bluetooth also works for receiving stereo audio signals from a compatible Samsung TV.
