On the same principle as the Sonos/Ikea Symfonisk speakers, The Music Frame by Samsung is as much a decorative object as a speaker.

The latter is in fact hidden behind a photo or a painting, your choice. Three visuals are provided with The Frame Music but it will of course be possible to place a personal photo or even have perfectly adjusted Plexiglass supports printed (via a future service provider, Samsung informs us). Not running on battery, a power cable is required to bring The Music Frame speaker to life. This resembles those of TVs equipped with a One Connect remote box, very thin and almost invisible, with a length of 2.5 meters. Also note, the size of the speaker is contained, 33 x 33 centimeters. It is supplied with a wall hook, giving you the choice of using it attached to the wall or on an easel stand.

The Q-Symphony functionality allows you to pair the Samsung The Music Frame speaker with a compatible Samsung TV. In this configuration, only the woofers will be activated to reinforce the low end of the audio spectrum and obtain a much more robust sound reproduction. It is also possible to combine two The Music Frame speakers with a television for a stereo sound. Finally, The Music Frame can be used as a surround in the presence of a TV already associated with a simple soundbar (see photo below). Finally, it is also possible to use two The Music Frame speakers configured as a surround pair and complete, for example, a soundbar to evolve into a 4.1, 5.1 or more audio system.
Namely, it is finally possible to combine up to five Samsung The Music Frame speakers to provide sound to a home, through the Party Mode function.
Availability planned for spring. Indicative price: 449 euros.
