Samsung SWA-8500S Wireless Surround Sound Rear Speakers - Volume Fix
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- The Samsung SWA-8500S wireless surround sound speakers have a notoriously, and frustrating low volume. I found a way to augment the speakers to make them robust and as loud as needed for any room. An easy affordable way to make a great surround sound system wirelessly. #PylePCA2
This is a great remedy for the low volume speakers the Samsung 8500S rear kit has. So following your video I went and purchased 2 of those Pyle PCA2 amps, 2 of those RCA plugs, but also purchased speaker wire because in the video you show the speaker wire going from the Samsung unit into the plug into the amp. So I’m going to need speaker wire from the speaker into the amp and I will do one channel for each amp and each speaker so I don’t get that buzz/hum sound as you described. I will post when everything arrives Monday and let you know how it went! Again thanks for the video!
*update* I hooked it all up and omg these Lil speakers now bang! They are loud! Awesome setup with 2 amps for both speakers! Now I got the surround sound! The video helped out a lot! Thank you!
Thank you, I just picked these rear speakers up and was contemplating returning them due to the terrible volume. I just purchased 2 Pyle 90watt amps for $50 on Amazon. Can't wait to hook them up! Thanks again!
So how’d it go? Did it work
Saw your video and knew exactly what you were talking about - just got my set up last week (double Pyle) and it is indeed much much better! Thanks to you!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for sharing this video. I just purchased an SW 5500from Samsung and I'm looking to purchase some rear speakers and I was looking at the rear speakers that you currently have. This is a good and affordable option.
Thank you for this! I hated how low the volume was on my rear speakers. Purchased the Pyle amp and used a ground loop and the sound is so much better! No need to buy a component system now.
I’ve been frustrated for quite sometime over the low volume of these rear speakers. It’s like there was no rear surround sound at all. I just ordered 2 amps and the RCA plugs from Amazon and can’t wait to get these and hook it up. Thank you very much for posting this video.
Did that work? Thanks!
Yes, it worked. I tried it with one amp and got the same hissing and static that was originally reported. The two amps worked exactly as described. I’m now getting much more volume from the back speakers.@@tachy
This works. I wish I had just a little more bass with the Pyle pca but so far it’s great!!
Great video! I hooked up my 2 amps today & what a difference in the sound of the rear speakers!!
Thank you for this... I have the Samsung SWA-9000s rears and a Q80R Soundbar. Had the same problem everyone else did... I never reply to videos, but this is one great exception. Was on the phone with Samsung support for an hour and they said I've done everything on their list so there was nothing else they could do. So, I exchanged them since it seems rear speakers must be compatible with the Soundbar. Couldn't add Bose, JBL, or any other top brand. Got the new SWA 9000s and they were the same... NO SOUND... So, watched your video, ordered the PCS2 and accessories, just got done hooking it all up and WOW!! Had to turn the volume down to about 1/4 so they didn't overpower the Soundbar. Now I feel like I got my $1,200 worth! Thank you very much!!
I am so glad that it worked for you, Mike. If Samsung wants to pay me to fix there products, I am available.
Hi sir
From where you order this device and what the full name for it?
@@ahmedmurad1 Bought from Amazon... Pyle Dual Channel Audio Amplifier... Bought 2 of them after finding out you need 1 per rear speaker because of excess feedback if you only have 1.
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001P2VV50/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
How did you hook up the wiring to the speakers
@@kbigton17 I followed the You Tube exactly as described at the 3:00 mark of the You Tube... I used 2 Amps like he suggested..
Fantastic solution to an issue that was really bugging me. I fixed the feedback solution simply by using two amps that way you will get stereo separation in the rears. Hooked up some pro bookshelf speakers for a richer fuller sound and I couldn't wish for anything better for the price...
Thanks
Which bookshelf speakers did you use?
@@Jamesctan Hi, I use Denon Pro I picked up for $50. Link below. You can use any bookshelf speaker using this method although I would stay clear from cheap small speakers as they didn't perform well in mid to low range. Also I tried a pair or Bose Acoustimass which were extremely tinny sounding. www.denonpro.com/index.php/products/view3/dn-205io
Wouldn’t you still get stereo separation if it’s a two channel amp? Left channel to left channel, right to right?
Thanks for making this. Been on the fence about buying the rear speakers till now
For the price, rear speakers are ok but what you really want is that wireless receiver for rear channel.Then you can use any speaker with this workaround.
Do you know if there's a way to make a random speaker pair with the soundbar via wireless receiver? Suggestions? I ordered the SWA8500s for my Q60T soundbar used from Amazon for $66.
this solution worked perfect, i now have sound through my speakers
Thank you for this great video. I know next to nothing about electronics but I read a lot of good ideas in the comments section. I went with a Pyle PFA 300 amp. I got it on Amazon for $25.00. I also bought a Instagear ground loop isolator amp noise filter. I picked it up for 10 bucks on Amazon. With the noise filter, it takes out all the hissing and popping sounds coming from my rear speakers. Thanks again
Could you explain where you installed the ground loop isolator? Did you install it between the SWA 8500S and the Pyle Amp or between the speakers and the Amp? Please post a photo if possible.
Also, how did you install the loop isolator? All of the loops that I've seen on Amazon have a 3.5mm audio connector/jack, which doesn't fit any of the connections on the rear of the Pyle PCA2.
@@jessegloe2135 Hey Jesse. Thanks very much for your speedy reply. Much appreciated. I have the SWA 8500S speaker system and find the volume on them too low, so I plan to buy the Pyle Amp.
hello@@MNM14ful how did you connect the loop isolator to amplifier? between swa8500 and amplifier or between amplifier and speaker?
@@CarmeloCalandra I couldn't get the loop isolator to work, so I bought a 2nd amplifier. I connected the right/left rear speaker to their own amp and now the system works perfectly. If you decide to go this route, be sure to separate the amps. I tried stacking them but this produced interference. I hope this helps.
Tnks I did exactly what you said. And it work great now my back speakers are loud too.
Thanks for the heads up, literally bought these and they were a little too quiet for my liking, but I was wondering since we can just add an amplifier to it, couldn't we also end up changing out the speakers later on as long as we have the cable to the samsung receiver? And if so would it work with dolby atmos speakers or do those need a special receiver to use the upfiring speakers?
Thank you! If I had to read one more suggestion for adjusting the volume in the sound bar I'd lose it. Will pick up a small amp.
I’ve been thinking of getting an amp for mine as well
Hello can you tell me, what this product is?!?!
I have 8500s and will get the louder!
Have anyone a link to Amazon? But it must be good and cheap ! Thx a lot!

Hey Jeff, great video. I am trying to see if I can use the rear speaker amp to power some in ceiling speakers that are prewired in my home. I am fine with the sound volume coming from my current ones that came in the package. Do you know if I can just join the wires and plug the in ceiling ones into the samsung amp ? I know the ones that come are 3 ohms, but I can only find 6 or 8 ohms online. What do you think ?
The reason that two separate amplifiers are needed is to prevent a loopback between the two channels/ outputs of the BT unit. T tried with one stereo amplifier (means two channels in one unit separate input , but it started whistling). Using two separate physical amplifiers, each side withown channel with own input (=the speaker) solve the problem as suggested and it is great now. Yes still have the Hum sound when the soundbar is off. So I do not switch it off at all. Thanks to all foe the advises.
For me it depends on the soundbar mode. In DTS virtual X rear speakers are very loud without any additional amplifier. In adaptive they are way more quiet. But changing their volume to +4 is enough to make me happy
Thanks for posting this! It's amazingly better and definitely improves on the rear speakers. I used a similar solution and it's worked out great. $30 amp (said 300w+300w) from eBay/China, made sure to check out the output wattage was capable. Then I used a InstallGear Ground Loop Isolator Amp Noise Filter ($20) to remove the white noise and hissing (didn't get two amps because of this). Additionally I spent about $15 on speaker cable and $5 on speaker wire to RCA adapter.
So glad it’s working for you!
Where in the chain did you add the Ground loop insulator? Between the receiver and amp? Or in-between the amp and speakers? I plan on doing the same thing
@@gabrielrosales9145 between the wireless receiver and the speakers
@@Jamesctan Thanks!
@@Jamesctan Im trying to understand this setup since it wanna se it works with one amps, what kind of Ground Loop Isolator Amp Noise Filter did u get with plugs etc, and how did you add it on?
Thanks for this video. Couple questions: 1. Why not run both rear L and R off the single Pyle unit? It looks like it supports a L and R output. and 2. Can you tell from experience if the 8500S is receiving the rear L and R surround signal from a decoded Dolby 5.1 digital signal or is it actually playing a L - R front stereo signal? Also, if your source is 2 channel PCM, do these rear speakers connected to the 8500S play at all?
The audio feed has a strange noise interference if you do not separate the left and right signal . I guess like a ground loop or something to do with the wireless signal
Thanks for the video, do I understand that besides the volume the sound is also improved with the amplifier?
I am also curious if you have information about a wireless subwoofer solution. I have the sw 5500 soundbar with the swa 9000s speakers, I miss the bass and I am looking for a solution regarding a subwoofer, the SWA-W700 that Samsung offers not available / to be produced. do you happen to have an alternative solution or model?
GatesTech Haven’t played with the subwoofer. Sounds is amplified and sounds cleaner, but I can’t verify that it is statistically “improved.”
Thanks for uploading this workaround. Just wondering what sort of wire are you using to connect the amp to the speaker? Does this matter?
Speaker wire
Would I be able to get some new speaker wire likena lot longer and hook it up so I can put my speakers on each corner of the wall?
I have also purchased 2 of these units for my 8500 speakers. I don't understand where the hum comes from when only using 1. Besides using 2 of them is there any way around that annoying hum that your aware of. Joe B
This was exactly what I needed to see! Thanks! The speakers that come with the 8500 are decent but why mount to the wall when I can place professional jbl loud speakers in the ceiling!!
Hello , i have the same problem but , why not run both rear L and R off the single Pyle unit wich is 2 channel?
U roc. Got my 2 amps coming. I bought last 2 but looks like they restocked last night. Also did u bridge your speaker wire to the amp?
Can you amplify the subwoofer the same way? Or a similar way? I have the same system, gonna try it out. Thanks!!!!
We were enthusiastic about buffing up our sound in the rear speaker surround system for the 8500. Changed out wires to better ones. Followed steps exactly as shown in the video for one amp to start with. When sound bar is turned on and we follow the steps to turn up rear speakers, there is no sound now. We tried pulling wires out in case plastic casing was too far in, but that did not help. Any hints on how to get the rear sound now to work? It was working in its original format when we first connected without the amplifier. What might we be missing?
We just figured out so we'll share in case anyone else experiences the same issue. We had to change the voltage from 120 to 110 amps on the amplifier.
I did the same as it was instructed on the video but with ,I tested it using with the speakers and connected an input from my cell phone ( U tube). Great sound !
I tested it to verify that on stand there will bw no noise and it was very quiet. HOWEVER when I connect the outputs of the
I just got my pyle in mail today and it works lime a charm i only use 1 amp to connect 2 rear speakers. Going tobuse the other one upstairs . Its a big differ in sound
bruh …talk about a difference!
i bought two 2x40 mini dual Pyle amplifiers ($50 each) on Amazon. Using them on rear speakers for Samsung Soundbar 650M with SW900 subwoofer. Setting amps to min. volume and rear speakers level to 0 (normally 6) on soundbar is the sweet👌🏽spot. That’s how powerful these amps are!
thought😏I would get away using just one channel/amp…. nope. You need two amplifier (any price point, just quality) or u definitely will get annoying hiss.
gotta a whole new sound system🔥🔥great tutorial.

Hello Jeff, I need help! I bought the Pyle PCA2 Amp for increasing the sound coming out of my Samsung SWA 8500s speakers. I've connected the speakers to the Pyle but I'm getting no sound from the speakers! Obviously, I've done something wrong but I can't figure out what. Could I possibly send you a photo of the connections I've made so you can take a look and maybe tell me what I've done wrong? Thank you in advance.
I've tried the set up. I moved the amps from 220 to 110. But I do not hear any sound. What mode does the Amp need to be on? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Question, when i use 1 per channel it only works when 1 of the rear speakers are connected, when i add 2nd amp i get feedback, same as 1 amp 2 channel
Any ideas?
Not sure if you need the SWA-8500s attached to the amplifier can you clarify please
Great content, can you make a full video of your set up? I would really like to replicate it.
wiich model did you purchased and you will use 2 one for each speaker? thnak you Esther
So I got the same amplifier you got because I was having a problem with the Samsung Surround Sound being too low you can't do it with just 1 amp because you get feedback I solve this problem by using a high to low converter I could tell the difference but having a second amp to those made it a lot better so I ended up getting another
I was scrolling thru the comments to find someone with the same issue with me. With one amplifier connected to two speakers I was also noticing feed back. If I disconnect one speaker, regardless of which one, the feedback stops. I was hoping I wouldn't have to order another amplifier but It seems like its the only option. Thanks for this comment.
Is it possible to add a transducer to this amp? Like this one:
AuraSound AST-2B-4 Pro Bass Shaker Tactile Transducer
I am only looking to get buttshakers added to the 8500s. My rear speakers work fine.
So I bought a Samsung soundbar and back speakers surround sound system. But I was told it would be better to add a sub- woofer with it. So how would I do that when the original system did not come with a sub? Can I add one and connect it to the Amp? Just seeing if you may know what I can do to add a sub to my sound bar system. Thanks
Hello! I have the q70r and search this produkt to make the speakers louder! Whats the beste, but not to expensiv.
Have you got a amazon link , that i know What it is please??? Thx
Hello, Nice video. Quick question.. Do you have to turn the PYLE amplifier on/off each time you use it? Thanks
Hi/ can you do same for the wireless Samsung rear speakers that don’t have wires? Thanks.
You are a champ!
I see the 8500 claim to have 80W total RMS power so im going to assume this means the speakers have pleanty of power but the soundbar hasnt got enough power to push them. I have a set of 9100s and they claim to push 55W per speaker but just like the 8500s, they arent loud enough. How did you hook up for speakers to the amp? Did you run them straight to one single port for 40w or did you use a cross-over configuration to push the full 80w of power to a single speaker? Id like to know cause finding the pyle pta2 are getting harder and harder and their newer models are pushing 100w and up.
What guage speaker wire from the Pile to the speakers can I use? Need to run about 20-30 ft
Yes I would like more info on the products to make my suround more better
Thank you so great!
How to serch this device?
Thx!!!
Hi I have 2 samsung 9200 which connect to each other via speaker wire how would I add an amp?!my model doesn’t have the additional tower you have.
So you would have to turn on/off the amp constantly when watching/turning off TV? Also, my speakers are 3 ohm while the amp is rated for 4-16 ohm. Is that going to be a problem?
How did you plug the small Samsung speaker into the Pyle box ?
i have some powered edifier speakers, my main speaker works well but the other one is not getting any power, it has a different kind of cable connecting them though
What wire did you put in the wireless unit
Do I cut the existing wire to make two?
Hi I’m stuck with the wiring why only one wire from speaker. Could some one explain to me please where pos and neg go to in mini amp or send pic and can you join the 2 pos and neg together. I’m lost
what do you think will happen if you put another speaker on the other line out?
I bought everything in this video. But I'm confused how i connect everything like cords go where ect can someone explain to me please
Quick question: what wireless range do you observe between the soundbar and the 8500S receiver?
My wireless receiver probably 20 feet away from the sound bar and it works fine never cuts out or anything and I've never tried further if thats what your asking
Samsung Soundbar with rear speaker kit performance is better than Yamaha Yas 209?
Excellent advice, but I'm a bit lazy so I got one with a remote lol. Thank's
What is the model of the amplifier?
I wonder if this would work on swa9000s
Hello George. I purchased the amplifier and hooked everything up but the first thing I noticed was some white noise feed back when I had two speakers connected to the amplifier. As soon as I removed one speaker the feedback stopped. Do I need one Pyle amp per speaker?
Yes that's what he said in the video I think
I bought 2 more back speakers and 2 amps. Can I run 4 more wires from the main unit and run 2 speakers from each amp?
Did you ever find out if that worked?
Hi, could you maybe explain how to hook the Samsung reciever to the amp unit. Did you use a different wire?
He uses a speaker terminal to rca adapter. It has the same black and red terminals you find on the speakers, but, has a male phono on the other side, to plug into the amp. Just google ‘speaker terminal to rca adapter’. They’re cheap as chips.
@@Beano987 then how does he connect the amp to speakers? Does he use extra wire or something?
This works great and gives me true surround sound. I couold hardly hear the speakers before using these amplifiers. The problem I am having now is I get a hum out of the speakers when the rear speaker receiver goes into standby mode when the main soundbar is off. As soon as I turn on the soundbar, the hum goes away and it works great. Does anybody have any thoughts on how to fix this?
What is the amplifier rca number for ordering
Hi, I watched your video. May I asked if what is the rated input voltage for this speaker? I am from Philippines and I wanted to buy this rear speakers on Ebay. I wonder if it's compatible to our rated 220Vac voltage?
Ps. No one sold it here in our country, and I really like to buy it. Please help. Thanks a lot in advance.
Hi have you bought it already?
Got mine 2 weeks ago from amazon need a 110v adapter
I've tried this but it becomes apparent that you can't raise the rear volume beyond that of the sound bar without an intense hiss from the rear speakers when you increase the amplifier volume.
How much ohms have this pyle2? Speakers are 3ohms,when I will buy other AMP with 4-8 ohmy its will be ok?
Can you please review 9100s and 9200s?
Cool!!!!!!!! Thanks.
So there needs to be a amp per speaker?
Thanks for the video - sound is much louder from rear speakers now.
One question - I'm getting a low hum from the rear speakers when the soundbar is off - even after turning the amps off - how can i get rid of the hum?
I turn off the rear amplifier when I’m not using it, which I agree is much less than ideal. I know there are some comments in this thread that addressed the issue and propose some solutions. I’ve not had time to try to implement any of them.
@@georgeisjeff Thanks for responding - i'll scroll through the comments and see what i can find
How are you wiring it, cant figure it out? Do you need to buy extra wires or just the ones that came with the speaker set?
yes you need a new wire from amp to speakers because original wire which goes to speakers goes to amp now
Occasionally I can hear some sort of signal coming through the speakers. It might be some FM station 'leaking' through. Has anyone have this happen and if so, is there a remedy ?
Are you using the amplifier setup like he shows in this video? If so it is most likely noise either from the cheap amplifier, or other electrical interference. You can either lower the amp volume until the noise goes away, or switch it off when not in use.
This is cool. However, one can increase the volume of the rear speakers by using both remotes. On the sound bar remote, press the button that looks like a settings button a couple of times until you see rear speakers on the sound bar. Then wait for a second or two and press it again to select it. Then, use the TV remote to increase the volume. That's it. Someone posted these steps on Amazon.
Frank Tee Yes. Volume controls are in there. But for many the top volume of rear speakers in insufficient and not commensurate with the volume of front. This should help those who find volume insufficient.
@@georgeisjeff Okay, I get it now.
@@georgeisjeff hello!
Have you got a link for this product from Amazon, please?
omg.. thanks Frank, worked like a charm and saved me bucks by not buying the amp..
How far away from you should these be?
Found this info on Amazon review: Press the 'sound control' button on the soundbar remote. to get to rear speaker on/off, then 1 more time to get to rear speaker volume (-6 to +6).using up/ down arrows
Easy. A further note, Using clear voice really makes a difference as the rear spkrs in some cases "muddy" the voices
what is clear voice? thanks.
Also, I have a Samsung HTD 550K DVD Player lying waste. Can I use that as an amp to power these rear speakers ? or may be add more speakers to it. I believe it should work right ? Don't wan't to blow the speakers :)
This didn’t work. Very low volume using the DVD player
I did everything in the video, all I get is static hiss, but no audio signal from tv. The sound bar works, the rear Bluetooth speaker box is synced, the blue light is solid, if I switch between standard and surround, I hear the rear speakers switch on and off. Also, if I switch the Amp to fm, the stations come in nicely, not so much from the samsung rear Bluetooth receiver though. Any suggestions?
It seems I was in error, there is sound, but I had to turn the volume way up, and there is a background hiss that is way noticeable.
Hi, can you tell me where to buy that device? thanks good video !!

Thanks.
Wouldve been nice if links were provided to give us an idea what we need
Go to Amazon and lookup Pyle home amp and just look for the one that costs $35, because that’s the one he’s using. But spend a few more dollars and get one the one that comes with a remote trust me, the remote comes in handy!!

@@shawncreamer2646 if you use 1 there is a hum but if you use 2 the hum disappears it’s weird but trust me get the 2👍🏾 and let me know how it works out
This is a great idea! However, i did exactly what you said and I went from the AMP L to RCA L and the the AMP R into the RCA R. Finally I connected the four cable wires to each end of the speaker and the other end to the amp like you did it the video but i got humming like you said. When I remove one and keep it as one channel though, one speaker sounds great but the other barely works. Do I need to get another one if these amps? And if so, instead of getting another can I get a higher wattage amp instead?. I saw a Pyle 220 amp for $65 on Amazon. I only ask because i don’t want the clutter of two amps.

Guys there is a setting to turn the rear speakers up…. No need to waste money on this set up. They are plenty loud. Go to the “rear” setting on the sound bar and toggle over to turn up or down the rear speakers. Trust me it works. They are super loud
Thanks for the tip. For the record, we’re all very much aware of the volume control. For many it’s insufficient. If you need it, here’s the answer.
Awesome video... just don't understand the line out part of it..
What is that product can send any link or name to search that in amazon?
Careful not to blow those speakers. After all, they are rated at 3ohm. Odd how Samsung neglects to mention the total watt per channel and the sensitively of each speaker. I bought this setup for a friend of mine. Personally, from what I have seen, nothing compares to a set up with a single A/V Receiver, Speakers that are evenly matched in size, each consisting of a woofer and tweeter (Surrounds Included) watts, and sensitivity. I turn my subwoofer off, and I still have that robust theatre sound. You do the same with a sound bar, and the little surround speakers, and it reminds me of the days of sitting at the Drive-In with the speaker in the window. :-)
Will this setup work with the Samsung SWA 9000s
Not certain.
Yes
Why do I hear so much radiation when I am using the two speakers and not when I am just using one? Please someone help !!
If I understand well,you don't have to use the unit anymore?
I have the same question I am hoping for a reply too .
@@williamryan5443 you still use the unit
Hi, Has anyone tried changing the speakers to any other bookshelf speaker ? Does it help ?
Also, Is there any other alternative to Pyle Amps ? These are pretty costly here in India, i would be better off buying another set of speakers :)
Got any solution? I am too from India. I am also having disturbance in Rear speakers on some particular videos...is the issue with source?
Do I have to buy one amplifier for each speaker
No. Run left speaker into left rca. Run right into right rca.
GeorgeIsJeff but it doesn’t sounds good if you put two
GeorgeIsJeff you were using two in the beginning of the video and when you tried it you only used one speaker
Finally I did as was sgg
But we can fixes it just avec the remote
So you're running an amplified signal into an amplifer? Curious how long the Pyle will last before it blows.
I'm wondering the same too.. I would like to have it on all the time instead of turning it off every time I turn off my soundbar.
