Samsung Sound Bar

Overview & Design

• The HW-C450 is a 2.1-channel soundbar that comes with a wireless subwoofer. (Samsung India)
• The system is part of Samsung’s “Essential / C-Series” lineup in their audio products. (Samsung India)
• It has a relatively slim, modern design for the soundbar unit, intended to complement contemporary TV aesthetics. (Samsung Images)

Power & Audio Output

• Though you asked “200 WATT,” many sources indicate a total power output of 300 watts (for the soundbar + subwoofer combined). (HiFi Corp)
• The soundbar supports DTS Virtual:X, which enables simulated 3D audio effects (height illusion) from a 2.1 setup. (Amazon)
• Audio modes include Adaptive Sound Lite, Bass Boost, and a Game Mode designed to enhance sound performance based on content. (Amazon)

Connectivity & Features

• Bluetooth: For wireless streaming from mobile devices. (HiFi Corp)
• Wired Inputs: Optical input and USB port are available for connecting to TVs, media players, or USB drives. (PC Shopper)
• Wireless Subwoofer: The subwoofer does not need a wired connection to the main bar, giving more placement flexibility. (Samsung India)
• Standby Power Consumption: The main soundbar uses about 0.5W in standby mode. (Hirsch's)
• Operating Power: The main unit uses approximately 25W in active mode. (Bawas Furnishers)

Dimensions & Weights

• Net weights:
   - Main soundbar: ~1.4 kg (Samsung Images)
   - Wireless subwoofer: ~4.5 kg (Samsung Images)
• Gross weight (packaged): ~7.5 kg (Bawas Furnishers)
• Package dimensions (WxHxD): approx. 905 × 431 × 228 mm (Samsung India)

Strengths & Use Cases

• Better audio than built-in TV speakers — especially in terms of bass and overall depth.
• DTS Virtual:X gives a more immersive sound field without requiring ceiling or height speakers.
• Flexible placement due to the wireless subwoofer, which can be located anywhere in the room (within range).
• Gaming & movies — the Game Mode and audio enhancement settings help make fast action or cinematic scenes more vivid.
• Convenience — Bluetooth and USB inputs make it versatile for modern media setups.

Considerations & Limitations

• Even though some sources say “200W,” the combined power is more commonly listed as 300W — so the 200W figure may refer to only the soundbar part or a misprint.
• As a 2.1-channel system, it won’t provide full surround sound (5.1, 7.1, etc.). It’s optimized for front audio + sub bass.
• The audio experience will still depend heavily on the room’s acoustics and speaker placement.
• Some advanced features (like Dolby Atmos, up-firing speakers) are not supported, as this is a more basic / mid-level soundbar.
