Question about Samsung HW-Q930D
Hello Unfortunately, Samsung support cannot give me any good information (for whatever reason). I have the S800B soundbar. Unfortunately, this is only compatible with a 2.4Ghz bandwidth. Q-Symphony is therefore not available via Wifi. For me, this is absolutely misleading and outdated junk. What about this soundbar? Does it also support a 5Ghz bandwidth 100%? I would also like to know whether I can install the rear speakers in other rooms wirelessly via Wifi. The aim is to have music in the bathrooms as well. So the soundbar with woofer in the living room and a back box in each bathroom. That has to be possible. Otherwise, I would like to have a manufacturer that makes this possible. Bose perhaps? Thank you for any detailed information
I have been working intensively with my AI - I use an advanced version of artificial intelligence in my office. I put the speakers in a bathroom and it works, but not flawlessly. According to my research, this is the one hundred per cent correct answer to your questions. I hope I could help you with that.
I understand your frustration with the S800B. The Samsung HW-Q930D supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands, which provides a more stable and faster connection. You can use Q-Symphony and wireless Dolby Atmos without any problems.
The rear speakers of the Samsung HW-Q930D communicate wirelessly with the soundbar, mostly via a proprietary connection based on radio frequencies (not classic WiFi technology). This connection is optimised for direct proximity in the same room.
It could theoretically work through walls or in other rooms, but with limitations:
1. signal strength: the connection could be disrupted by one or two walls, resulting in interruptions or poor audio quality.
2. latency: even if the speakers receive a signal, synchronisation could suffer (e.g. delays or echo).
3. range: The exact range depends on the materials used for the walls (e.g. concrete vs. wood). Reception is often limited to a distance of approx. 10-15 metres without obstacles.
IMPORTANT:
The rear speakers of the Samsung HW-Q930D cannot be integrated directly into a multiroom system such as Samsung SmartThings. These speakers are specifically designed for use with the soundbar and utilise a proprietary wireless connection that is not compatible with the SmartThings platform.
Alternative solution: If you want to listen to music in different rooms, you could use additional speakers that are compatible with SmartThings, such as the Samsung Wireless Audio 360 series. These integrate with SmartThings and can be operated independently or synchronised with the soundbar, but the rear speakers themselves remain limited to surround mode.
Recommendation: A dedicated multi-room system such as Sonos would be better suited to your scenario. There you can flexibly place and control speakers in different rooms. If you want to stick with Samsung, you would have to buy separate multi-room speakers, as the rear speakers of the HW-Q930D are not suitable for this.
