Samsung 2019 Lineup Includes IoT Tech

Sound bars in Samsung's 2019 lineup include the company's SmartThings technology for smart home control and access to music streaming services, said Jim Kiczek, vice president-audio marketing. The sound bars are controllable by Samsung’s Bixby-enabled OneRemote and are compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, he said in a Tuesday presentation. Adapt Sound automatically sets the volume of the audio track for a specific scene, he said, so loud explosions and quiet conversations can be heard, even when the sound bar is at low volume. A game mode engages up-firing speakers to add an immersive experience to gaming, he said. The company pushed aesthetics as much as performance in releasing features and pricing for its lineups.
