Samsung expands home audio business with new premium products

Vacuum tube amplifiers deliver warm, natural sound

MISSISSAUGA, ON, March 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Samsung Electronics today
announced the availability of new premium products incorporating vacuum
tube amplifiers that offer rich, harmonious sound qualities. The
Samsung DA-E750 Audio Dock (MSRP: $699.99), Samsung HT-E6530 3D Blu-ray
5.1 Home Entertainment System (MSRP: $699.99) and Samsung HT-E6730W 3D
Blu-ray 7.1 Home Entertainment System (MSRP: $999.99) will be shipping
this spring in Canada. With these products, Samsung also underscores
its commitment to extend its leadership in audio products with premium
offerings.

New in 2012, Samsung's patented vacuum tube amplifier technology allows
audio enthusiasts to enjoy music the way it was meant to be heard. 
Vacuum tubes, which use a long-lasting heated cathode inside a glass
bulb to amplify sound, offer a warmer, more natural sound compared to
conventional products utilizing transistors.

The vacuum tube is also combined with a digital amplifier, which
delivers crystal clear sound and reduces unnecessary harsh sound
distortions. By combining the best of both worlds in a compact form
factor, Samsung has achieved a technology breakthrough that raises the
bar in sound quality for mainstream audio products.

"With these offerings we're taking our first step into a commitment to
the premium audio market," said James Politeski, President, Samsung
Canada. "Audio plays a critical factor in the overall home
entertainment experience, and the premium sound quality achieved
through our innovative vacuum tube amplifiers will allow consumers to
continue to pursue their passions."

Sophisticated Design with Multi-device Support and Enhanced Connectivity

Consumers will be able to use the DA-E750 with their Galaxy S II
smartphones (Galaxy Note and Galaxy Player) as well as Apple iOS
devices, thanks to a unique dual docking structure. Its 2.1-channel
woven glass fiber speakers and powerful built-in subwoofer deliver 100
watts of crystal clear sound with enhanced bass for a quality music
experience. Consumers can use Samsung's AllShare to share multimedia
content between the audio dock and compatible smartphones, tablets,
cameras and computers, or AirPlay to stream audio from iOS devices. The
DA-E750 also includes analog (composite) input and connectivity via
Bluetooth to MP3, WMA and WAV files from a broad range of devices -
thumb drives, portable hard drives, music players and mobile devices -
for the ultimate in flexibility.

The elegant design of the DA-E750 exudes the highest level of
sophistication by combining classic design elements with a touch of
luxury. The sleek high gloss wood finish is available in either
mahogany or piano black, which is accentuated by the warm glow from the
vacuum tubes inside the docks when in operation. For added convenience,
the audio dock will simultaneously charge the Galaxy S II or iOS device
while streaming music.

The Ultimate in Movie Theatre Quality Entertainment in the Home

Samsung's flagship 3D Blu-ray Home Entertainment System, the HT-E6730W,
offers outstanding high-definition audio and superior video for the
best all-in-one solution for any home entertainment room. The HT-E6730W
is a 1,330-watt 7.1-channel system with two tower speakers and four
additional speakers. Innovative swivel speakers are mounted on the
specially designed front height speakers and may be turned upwards so
sounds vertically cascade down onto the listener. The two rear wireless
satellite speakers may be placed anywhere in the room without the need
for additional wires to create a truly immersive vertical surround
sound experience. A dual-unit passive radiator subwoofer provides
clear, rich bass response.

Samsung's vacuum tube pre-amplifier may be seen on the front and top of
the system. The glass fiber cones in the speakers improve sound quality
and minimize distortion, for the ideal combination of style and
performance. Samsung's Crystal Amp Plus technology offers pure digital
audio playback and quality while also protecting listeners from
unexpected jumps in volume.

The HT-E6730W seamlessly up-converts content to 1080p from a variety of
sources, including DVDs, streaming video and connected media devices.
Each home theater system employs a Samsung-developed system-on-a-chip
(SoC), which has cutting-edge image quality enhancement algorithms,
Samsung's video processor and scaler, and various high definition
codecs. The system also comes with built-in Wi-Fi for easy access to
Samsung Smart Hub and AllShare. Newly designed for 2012, Samsung Smart
Hub allows consumers to download hundreds of premium apps and use the
