About the Samsung WAM7500 Radiant 360 R7
The Shape of the future
The Shape of the future
The first thing you might notice about the Samsung Radiant360 R7 is its shape. Sure, it looks like an egg standing on end, but don't be fooled. There's nothing fragile about the sound of this innovative wireless speaker. It features an omni-directional woofer and tweeter that deliver spacious sound in a 360° radius. It can fill a room evenly with rich, detailed sound.
Bluetooth entertainment options
The R7 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 R7 comes with Samsung's TV SoundConnect technology built-in. That means you can wirelessly pair your R7 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 R7 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 R7 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 R7 has control buttons built in, 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.
