SENNHEISER AMBEO SOUNDBAR MINI IS A NEW FUN SIZE BAR FOR COMPACT SPACES

The German audio brand’s AMBEO Soundbar experience is now available in a new ‘fun size’: the Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Mini.

A FUN SIZE BAR

​At less than half the cubic volume of its Soundbar Plus sibling, the Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Mini has been designed to appeal to audio lovers looking to upgrade a current living room, desktop, bedroom, or even games room setup. At just 70 x 10 x 6.5 cm in size, it blends into nearly any TV or monitor arrangement.

​Other useful audio modes personalise the listening experience, including content-specific presets, a voice enhancement option, and neighbour-friendly night mode. Ease of use is at the heart of the Mini, with an HDMI1 input that accommodates a wide range of eARC-enabled TVs or monitors. Integration with the Sennheiser Smart Control App makes management of features and updates from a smartphone simple.

FRAUNHOFER INSTITUTE

​Like its larger siblings, the Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Mini’s 3D sound is the result of a collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS2, a world leader in audio research and development. The Mini has four integrated microphones that serve a dual purpose: they function as the central component of the AMBEO room calibration, and facilitate Alexa3 voice assistant commands as the Soundbar features Alexa Built-In. Consumers also have the option to utilise existing Google Assistant4 or Siri-enabled devices to cast audio to the Mini through Chromecast Built-In and AirPlay5, respectively.

​ SENNHEISER AMBEO SOUNDBAR MINI ONE TOUCH CALIBRATION

​As with all AMBEO Soundbars, the native AMBEO|OS operating system allows for one-touch calibration that scans the room, adjusting the surround virtualisation to account for various room sizes, reflections, and textures. Further, the Mini supports popular Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X, MPEG-H codecs, and 360 Reality Audio6 formats and experiences for enjoying native spatial audio content.

DIGITAL MUSIC STREAMING

Wide-ranging support of digital music services also makes the Mini a streaming companion over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth with room-filling sound and bass down to 43 Hz, from streaming services such as a Spotify, TIDAL, Amazon Music, and Apple Music. AMBEO|OS integrates the Mini into popular content ecosystems as a Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and AirPlay 2 device. ​ Bass lovers can add even more low-end with wireless connection to as many four Sennheiser AMBEO Subs which are sold separately.
