Specifications checked 17 Oct 2026Manufacturer specifications, not a hands-on test.

The checks that matter.

Before you buy

The 160 W headline is a maximum amplifier claim on mains. Battery output is listed as 80 W, and neither figure is an independent loudness measurement.

Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

The 12-hour battery claim was tested with lights off at volume 12–13; actual use can differ.

Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

Samsung’s documents disagree about the number of lighting modes and the app’s minimum Android/iOS versions, so those details remain unresolved.

Inputs & connections

8 items
Audio inputs
Bluetooth; USB music playback; 3.5 mm AUX; RCA group-play audio input; two microphone inputs, with one switchable to guitar

The rear MIC2/GUITAR switch selects the second input’s use. Microphones and group-play audio cables are not included.

Bluetooth version
Not listed by the manufacturer

The inspected exact UK product table and linked guide establish Bluetooth but do not name its version.

2 sources
Auracast broadcast audio
Yes

The guide’s wireless grouping notes restrict the supported Sound Tower family to ST40F/ST50F; playback quality depends on the Bluetooth environment.

2 sources
Group Play
Wired RCA Group Play; wireless groups of up to ten MX-ST40F/MX-ST50F units

Additional units and RCA cables are separate. Wireless Group Play and two-unit stereo are separate modes.

Amplifier, power & battery

10 items
Audio output and basis
Maximum amplifier output: 160 W on AC mains; 80 W on battery

The English guide explicitly calls these maximum amplifier outputs, not RMS or continuous measurements. Unplugging mains reduces the output level.

2 sources
Power supply
AC mains via supplied power cord; rechargeable built-in lithium-ion battery

The battery charges automatically when the AC cord is connected. Exact mains input rating is on the product label; no voltage range is inferred.

2 sources
Battery life
Up to 12 hours

Samsung’s page footnote tests with lighting off and volume 12–13; no percentage scale is specified. Actual play time varies with use conditions.

Battery chemistry
Lithium-ionSource
Battery capacity
Rated: 4,650 mAh / 33.48 Wh; typical: 4,700 mAh / 33.84 Wh

Nominal voltage 7.2 V; rated and typical figures are separate manufacturer declarations, not interchangeable.

Source
Replaceable battery
Yes

Samsung’s exact product specification lists the battery as replaceable. Follow the guide’s battery safety and replacement instructions.

2 sources
Battery charge time
Less than 3.5 hours

Manufacturer upper-bound claim; the guide says charge time varies with use conditions. This is not an exact 3.5-hour measurement.

Source
Declared overall power consumption
40 W

English guide label: Overall Power Consumption. No operating test/mode is specified; this is not a measured running-cost input.

Source
Declared standby consumption
0.3 W page standby; 2.0 W guide overall standby

Different source labels and unstated operating/network conditions are retained without treating the figures as same-basis measurements.

2 sources
USB power output
5 V / 1.0 A

The guide says a phone connected to the USB port can be charged. No charging protocol or derived wattage is inferred.
