SENNHEISER SAYS THAT THE AMBEO PLUS IS THE WORLD’S FIRST 7.1.4 STANDALONE SOUNDBAR.

Sennheiser has expanded their AMBEO Soundbar line-up, with the new Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Plus and the Sennheiser AMBEO Sub.

SENNHEISER AMBEO SOUNDBAR PLUS

The Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Plus comes in a more compact housing than its big sister, the Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Max, previously known as the AMBEO Soundbar, which launched in 2019. It is driven by the same 3D sound, developed in collaboration with one of the world leaders in audio research and development, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS.

SELF CALIBRATION

​AMBEO Self-Calibration reads a room’s acoustic properties and then positions seven virtual speakers around the listener, plus four more overhead. This lets the AMBEO Soundbar Plus project sound from any corner of the room. Users get to experience the depth, impact, and spaciousness of a movie theatre at home without using extra cables or satellite speakers.

​​The AMBEO Soundbar Plus can also be used for listening to music and automatically adapts its sound to the content that’s being played. Customisable presets are also available, along with an equaliser and more in the Smart Control App. Immersive 3D sound is provided with Dolby ATMOS, DTS:X, 360 Reality Audio and MPEG-H Audio. Users can also upmix stereo and 5.1 content.

​STREAMING

​The Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Plus uses the AMBEO|OS platform. This enables multiple music streaming services, such as Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and works with a Google Assistant-enabled device with Chromecast built-in, integration with Alexa Built-in, and Apple Siri.

HiFi Pig Says: We don’t often feature soundbars but we have been consistently impressed when we have heard the Sennheiser AMBEO, this new offering looks like it packs plenty into a smaller form and at a lower price than the original.
