Samsung Electronics has announced the launch of Eclipsa Audio, a new 3D audio technology developed in collaboration with Google. This immersive sound technology will be integrated into Samsung’s 2025 lineup of TVs and soundbars, aiming to provide a compelling alternative to Dolby Atmos.
Eclipsa Audio allows users to personalize their audio experience by adjusting sound location, intensity, and spatial reflections. This technology is based on the Immersive Audio Model and Formats (IAMF), an open standard for 3D spatial audio.
To ensure consistent audio quality across devices using Eclipsa Audio, Samsung and Google are working with the Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) to establish a certification process. By incorporating Eclipsa Audio into a wide range of TVs and soundbars, Samsung aims to make this advanced technology accessible to a broader audience.
Starting in 2025, YouTube will also support videos with Eclipsa Audio tracks, similar to its existing support for Dolby Atmos content. This move could significantly boost the adoption of Eclipsa Audio and enhance the viewing experience for users.
Samsung, a long-standing leader in the global TV market, seeks to further solidify its position with the introduction of Eclipsa Audio. This new technology has the potential to redefine home entertainment and provide users with a more immersive and personalized audio experience.
