“Listening to music, whether individually or in a group setting, is one of the most loved form of entertainment for Australians,” said Philip Newton, Head of Audio Visual at Samsung Electronics Australia. “As one of the leaders in home entertainment, we wanted to create products that are unique, highly-functional and beautifully designed, yet offer crystal clear, rich sound that our customers can enjoy, regardless of the portable device they store their music on.”
New Technology with Enhanced Connectivity and Style
The Samsung DA-E750 Audio Dock is the company's first speaker dock and features Samsung's hybrid vacuum tube amplifier technology - a digital amplifier's sharp clarity combined with rich and warm sound performance of vacuum tubes - to produce a pure listening experience designed to please any audiophile.
Vacuum tubes amplifiers produce more natural sounds however occasionally subject to distortion. Digital amplifiers deliver clear sound output and can fit into a small form factor. By combining the best of both, Samsung has achieved a technology which is advanced in sound quality for mainstream audio products. The vacuum tube is used in the pre-amplifier while the power amplifier uses digital technology so the audio dock is able to maintain its beautifully slim body.
The DA-E750 is the industry's first device with docking support for both Galaxy S smartphones as well as Apple iOS devices including iPods, iPhones, and even iPads via a unique dual docking structure. The audio dock, which boasts a 2.1-channel speaker and powerful built-in subwoofer with 100 watts of sound, also offers analog (composite) input and a USB port to play audio files directly from a thumb drive, music player or portable hard drive. MP3, WMA and WAV file formats are supported.
In addition, the DA-E750 supports wireless audio file playback through AllShare® for Samsung Galaxy devices and Airplay for Apple devices or via Bluetooth enabled devices for the ultimate in flexibility and convenience.
The elegant design of the DA-E750 exudes a high level of sophistication - when in operation the vacuum tube inside the dock emits a warm, soft glow that accentuates the sleek, high gloss wood finish wood and adds a touch of luxury to the system.
Convenience and Sophisticated Simplicity
The Samsung DA-E670 Audio Dock is perfect for Galaxy S smartphones, as well as Apple iOS devices. It is an easy-to-use audio dock that offers a superb listening experience while simultaneously charging the batteries of each device.
