The SmartThings app allows you to connect your Music Studio as part of a wider smart home ecosystem. Once connected, your Music Studio becomes one of the many compatible devices that can be managed from a centralise platform. This means you can adjust volume and change sound inputs alongside other home entertainment products like TVs and soundbars, all in one place. This provides a more convenient way to control your entire setup with switching between multiple apps. Follow the below guide for more information.

Prior to following the below guide ensure that you have downloaded the SmartThings app.

Note: If you are looking for a more detailed and hands-on experience to fine tune your Music Studio's sound performance to your personal preference, you can use the Samsung Sound app. You can refer to the guide here.
