About the Samsung WAM3500 Radiant360 R3

Ralph Graves

Great sound all around

With the Samsung Radiant360 R3 wireless speaker, you don't have to worry about where you stand (or sit) in the room. Its omnidirectional woofer and tweeter send out evenly balanced sound in a 360° radius that makes every spot "the sweet spot." No matter where you are in the room, you'll hear the same richly detailed sound — and so will your guests. So what can you play through the R3? Streaming services, Bluetooth phones and tablets, music files on your PC — the list goes on.

Streaming services, Bluetooth phones and tablets, music files on your PC — the list goes on.

Samsung Radiant360 R3

Omnidirectional 360° radiant sound means everyone hears great sound no matter where they are in the room. (Requires AC power.)

Bluetooth entertainment options

The R3 has built-in Bluetooth, so you can stream music directly from your smartphone or tablet. Use it as a Bluetooth wireless speaker for your laptop or PC. And the R3 comes with Samsung's TV SoundConnect technology built-in. That means you can wirelessly pair your R3 with a compatible Samsung TV and enjoy great sound from TV shows, movies, and videos.

Wi-Fi for multi-room audio

You can connect the R3 to your home network via Wi-Fi and access thousands of free Internet radio stations. If your system is DLNA-compatible, you can also connect to your digital music library and play it through the R3 speaker as well.  Add other Samsung Radiant360 speakers to create a multi-room wireless audio system through your home network. Imagine — you can enjoy Pandora® from your smartphone in the den while a family member plays an Internet radio station in the kitchen, and music from your computer plays on the patio.

Simple app control

The R3 has a touch-sensitive control surface on the top of the speaker, and for remote operation Samsung offers a free control app for iOS® and Android™ devices. You can select your music source — such as Pandora, your own music library, the Amazon player app, or Internet radio stations. You can also control volume and equalization settings right from your smartphone or tablet.

Features

Wireless Audio-Radiant360 Series: The Samsung R3 wireless audio speaker is part of the Samsung Wireless Audio-Radiant360 series of wireless multiroom link speakers. The Samsung R3 wireless audio speaker lets you integrate your digital music collection into your home; whether it's a single speaker in one room, or multiple Radiant360 series speakers in two rooms or every room of your home. The R3 features a network connection, so you can wirelessly stream music from select Internet radio stations and online music services, plus music stored on your computer/laptop or in the Cloud, as well as music from your Apple iOS or Android device to a single R3 speaker or multiple R3 speakers throughout your home. The R3 speaker also lets you wirelessly stream music directly from your smartphone/tablet or computer/laptop via Bluetooth to a single speaker.

Ring Radiator Technology w/ Omni-Directional Sound: Unlike conventional speakers that project sound in a single direction, the Samsung R3 wireless speaker produces omni-directional sound thanks to "Ring Radiator" technology, which disperses sound evenly in all directions with perfect balance between  treble & bass. The Samsung R3 wireless audio speaker employs a two-way driver design that features a top-firing 1" soft-dome tweeter with an acoustic lens and a 4.2" down-firing woofer with an acoustic lens. This unique Ring Radiator technology allows sound to flow in a 360° radius, ensuring that great sound is heard wherever you are in the home.

Wireless Network Connection: The Samsung R3 speaker offers a wireless (WiFi) network connection which allows you to stream a variety of Internet radio stations, select online music service, and music stored on your smartphone/tablet device or computer/laptop.

Simply download Samsung's free Wireless multiroom app from the Apple's App Store or Google Play Store onto your Apple iOS device (6.1+) or Android smartphone/tables (2.3.3+). There is also a Wireless Multiroom desktop app for your Windows PC (7/8/8.1) and Mac (OS X 10.7+) computer.
