r6-headerJust when you thought that Samsung couldn’t expand on their enormous range, they have come out with wireless multiroom speakers.

With a lovely, sleek, smooth design, the Samsung R6 is leading the way of the versatile speaker. When people hear of Wireless Speakers, they automatically think of Sonos, but now there’s a new kid in town. Samsung have really outdone themselves with this range. Not only can the speakers work off your Wi-Fi, they are also Bluetooth compatible. By downloading the Samsung Wireless Audio – Multiroom app (available on iOS and Android) you can control the speakers from your tablet or smartphone. Quickly find the song you’re looking for and use the queuing function to create your own playlist. With seamless play you can still enjoy your music when you’re out and about, without missing a beat. Available within the App, you can link to your Spotify, Deezer, Napster etc music accounts as well as TuneIn radio stations. Using Samsung’s Multiroom App 2.0, you can remotely control volume and music on your system across different devices, including your TV, soundbar, home entertainment system and even your Blu-ray Disc Player. Enjoy the audio you want, where you want it.

r6-1All the speakers in this range (R1, R3, R5, R6, and R7) can be grouped together so that they all play the same tracks, but they can also all play individually too. If you are in the kitchen, cooking up a feast, you could be listening to your music whilst your partner, family member or friend can be in another room and play something completely different. It is that simple and that amazing.

The major plus with the Samsung R6 Speaker is that it is completely portable; you can take it anywhere with you (just make sure it is charged)!

r6-2With the R6 occupying a 25mm tweeter and a 125mm woofer, it is capable of a 34w output. Not only that, Samsung Audio are the only speaker that provides a 360 degree true sound. You will not struggle to find the sweet spot with this speaker. The woofer is downward facing which pushes the sound down which then bounces off the base, projecting the sound evenly through its 360 degree design. Unlike conventional speakers that project sound in a single direction, its omnidirectional sound (360 degree true sound) fills the entire room thanks to Samsung’s ‘Ring Radiator’ technology, which disperses sound evenly in all directions.

There is so much that this speaker can do – and we are not finished yet! These speakers can also be independently linked with your Samsung TV*, all wirelessly. Through the Wi-Fi capable products, there is no fuss and no cables. The R6 Speakers can also be linked with selected Samsung Soundbars to create a “cinema feel” to your lounge. By placing two R6 speakers in the rear corners of your lounge and your Samsung Soundbar in front of your TV, syncing them all together will give you a 4.1 channel sound.
