Samsung Unveils 360-Degree 'Ring Radiator' Speakers Ahead of CES 2015

Samsung on Monday unveiled its new concept speaker with 360-degree radius sound, the WAM7500/6500, which will launch at CES 2015 next week. For now, no pricing has been announced.

The company also announced that it will introduce a range of new audio products and an expanded lineup of Curved Soundbars at CES 2015.

The Samsung WAM7500/6500 will be released in two models; Stand-type or Table Top (WAM7500) and Portable (WAM6500) with a built-in battery. Both variants are compact one-piece speakers and utilise 'Ring Radiator' technology that Samsung claims allows sound to flow in a 360-degree radius, and also provide the "perfect balance" between treble and bass.

"WAM7500/6500 is a new concept for Samsung providing a rich-bodied sound experience no matter where you are in relation to the product. Unlike conventional speakers that project sound in a single direction, the WAM7500/6500 fills entire rooms with sound," said company on its blog.

The WAM7500/6500 speakers are said to have been designed at Samsung's audio lab in Valencia, California. Meanwhile, Samsung also plans to unveil the new 8500, 6500 and 6000 series of Curved Soundbars for its Curved TV lineup, from 45-inches to 78-inches. The company said that the upcoming 8500 series will offer enhanced sound quality with its 9.1 channel speakers, which includes a central speaker and additional side speakers on both ends.
