As usual, samsung's The overall footprint of this year's CES show left a wide and deep impression. In addition to announcing a partnership with home power provider Tesla ahead of the show, unveiling a new ecosystem of AI-powered kitchen appliances, and rolling out newly updated smart home companion robots, the consumer electronics giant has launched the industry's first “OLED Glare Free”. Transparent micro-LED TVs and technology captivated the CES crowd ah and ah. But hidden in plain sight at Samsung's booth was a new audio solution aimed at interior-minded users looking for an aesthetic solution for home theater surround sound.
Some may want to hide the fact that the Samsung Music Frame is an audio device, while others may want to draw attention to its aural capabilities.
customizable music frame It's an expanded version of Samsung's long-popular TV, The Frame, built around a form factor that emulates framed art rather than a wall-mounted display. Taking a similar approach (and comparable to Sonos + Ikea SYMFONISK), Music Frame introduces surround sound speakers disguised as modern picture frames that can display art and photos.
The Music Frame is not a digital screen, but requires an actual size physical photo, artwork, or diesec matte acrylic plate “art print” to complete the presentation.
When connected via Samsung's Q-Symphony, the Music Frame has the ability to emit sound from the soundbar and TV speakers at the same time, adding another surround sound source when syncing, replacing the bass with dual built-in woofers. can be supplemented. Traditional floor-standing subwoofer. There's also a pair of tweeters and two midrange drivers that work in tandem with the waveguide, creating a wider soundstage and even playing with Dolby Atmos when connected via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Provides sound.
You may notice that music frames are often shown standing on their own small integrated stands, rather than being displayed mounted on a wall. Speakers with rear-mounted dual woofers work best with a little space to prevent vibrations against walls. So while you can mount them on a wall, it's probably best to keep these speakers on stands. Still, the 13″ x 13″ form factor is small enough that you can easily place it on a shelf, console, or side table without attracting too much attention (unless you want it to).
As with many of the most interesting technologies to be showcased at CES 2024, Samsung has not yet announced the price, specs, or release date associated with the Samsung Music Frame, but we will test the speaker once it becomes available and find out how it works. I would like to see if it performs like this. Similar consumer solutions such as Sonos.
