This bar has a wide array of sound customization features that will please most people. For adjusting its sound, there’s a 7-band graphic EQ (available when you’re on Standard mode) and bass and treble adjustments if you’re on any of the other preset modes like Surround, Adaptive Sound, or Game Pro. There’s also a room correction feature called SpaceFit Sound, an active feature that automatically and dynamically adjusts the bar’s sound based on your room’s unique acoustics. You’ll need to keep the microphone on since muting it will disable the feature.

Like the previous year’s model, the bar supports Q-Symphony, which allows you to sync the bar with compatible Samsung TVs and its speakers to create a more immersive sound. However, a couple of features were added this time around. Private Listening is a feature that sends audio only to the satellite speakers, which creates a sound localized around the listener and can reduce the overall sound level in your room if you’re looking to avoid disturbing others. Another feature is Sound Grouping, which lets the satellites play left and right-channel content to create a more stereo sound.

In addition to all of these features, there’s Active Voice Amplifier (AVA), which, as the manufacturer advertises, makes dialogue clearer, depending on the noise levels in your room. In Standard mode, it didn’t seem to have a noticeable impact on the quality of dialogue or vocals in music. That said, there was a little bit more of a difference when using Adaptive Sound, as the dialogue’s level changed slightly in some scenes. It also pushed dialogue forward in the soundstage while helping to alleviate some of the hollowness created by the preset. Still, this feature isn’t very impactful on your listening experience.
