Samsung has a neat new product and retailers “love it”, called the Music frame the square sound system that is also a picture frame will be on sale in Australia at the end of the third quarter.
According to Jeremy Senior Vice President of Consumer Electronics at Samsung Australia retailers are confident that the device a Dolby Atmos-capable wireless speaker that doubles as an old-fashioned printed photo frame will be a sales success.
“We are super exited for this product and it’s just one of many new innovations that Samsung is releasing at CES.
The Music Frame is an audio evolution of the Companies popular The Frame TV, which can display any digital art of your choice when you’re not using it as an actual TV.
But unlike the TV, the Music Frame doesn’t make you choose between listening to music and gazing fondly at your favourite family portrait — you can do both, and the picture doesn’t disappear when you turn off the tunes.
No pricing for the Australian market has been announced yet.
ChannelNews got a hands on with the new product and it’s seriously impressive.
Hiding behind the picture are two woofers, two tweeters, and two midrange drivers, which automatically tune themselves to your room’s acoustics using Samsung’s SpaceFit calibration system.
The new device which was developed at Samsung’s music labs in California also come equipped with both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, so you can do ad-hoc streaming from any smartphone, tablet, or computer, as well as add it to a new or existing multiroom wireless audio setup.
If you own a Samsung TV and/or soundbar, you can pair the Music Frame and use it as a TV speaker, a rear speaker, or a subwoofer. If you buy a second Music Frame, they can be stereo-paired or used as left/right wireless surrounds. Or you can connect up to five of them for synchronous play.
If all that weren’t enough, the Frame also contains an IoT hub, giving your smart home devices yet another way to stay connected and accessible.
Samsung says you can display any photograph or printed image using the Music Frame, but it also includes a digital-print compatible Diasec matte acrylic plate Art Panel, for an even more professional and durable way to display your favourite image.
