There’s movement in the audio space, with Samsung today announcing ‘Eclipsa Audio’ for TVs and soundbars.
The Eclipsa Audio technology has been developed in partnership with Google, to offer a 3D Audio standard for creators to use – potentially becoming a free alternative to the likes of Dolby Atmos. According to Samsung and Google, Eclipsa Audio ‘allows creators to adjust audio data such as the location and intensity of sounds, along with spatial reflections, to create an immersive three-dimensional sound experience’.
Eclipsa Audio will become a little more well known in the mainstream this year, as Samsung releases their 2025 TV and Soundbar line-up with support for the standard. TVs ranging from the Crystal UHD series to the premium flagship Neo QLED 8K models will be supporting it and you’ll be able to enjoy content with YouTube starting to accept uploads with Eclipsa Audio tracks.
The new standard is getting some push from Samsung and Google, with the companies working with the Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) to create a certification program for devices using Eclipsa Audio – allowing for it to expand beyond the Samsung garden.
Jim Bankoski, Vice President of Engineering, Google Chrome said
“We believe that Eclipsa Audio has the potential to change the way we experience sound. We are excited to see how the creator community uses it to create new and innovative audio experiences.”
At this stage, Samsung Australia hasn’t announced the availability of Samsung TVs and soundbars featuring Eclipsa Audio here, but we’re keen to check it out when they do.
