The Bluesound PULSE SOUNDBAR+ is one of the best and most versatile soundbars in the world. The brilliant sound quality has been enhanced with Dolby Atmos, so you can enjoy TV sound with an impressive surround effect in three dimensions – without an elaborate installation or a living room full of speakers.
The SOUNDBAR+ is optimized for stereo sound and you will notice how well the eight integrated speakers can play music. But thanks to a new super-powerful processor and Dolby Atmos, this stereo soundbar becomes a virtual home theater, without having to hang speakers from the ceiling or walls to get surround sound. And if you want even better surround sound, you can add two wireless rear speakers – for example, the PULSE FLEX 2i – for an even more convincing movie sound. What’s also new is that the PULSE SOUNDBAR+ features an additional Wi-Fi module that only connects to the rear speakers and optionally a wireless Bluesound subwoofer for maximum stability. So you easily get a serious surround home cinema from Bluesound with an absolute minimum of cables and speakers.
Feel Every Moment
The PULSE SOUNDBAR+ is designed like no other soundbar. Eight Class D powered speakers create 120 watts of powerful, moving sound with deep bass and rich detail. With a full speaker array custom tuned for mid and high frequencies, the PULSE SOUNDBAR+ lets you enjoy every fine detail of your music, movies, and games with the same realism and emotion that 8K video delivers.
More Audio Performance
The PULSE SOUNDBAR+ features an all-new quad-core processor designed specifically to deliver audio at ultra-fast speeds with the highest quality. A revolutionary breakthrough, Bluesound’s new flagship processing system is the next evolution in the BluOS experience. With four processor cores dedicated to ultimate performance, it’s a chipset designed for the world of music streaming. It is set to transform home audio more than ever before, bringing BluOS and its highly efficient ARM-based platform to a whole new level.
An Unforgettable 3D Sound Experience
With Dolby Atmos, you can experience music, movies, and games in the most immersive and cinematic way. Every sound is precisely positioned around you, creating a three-dimensional space that places you in the recording studio or in the middle of the action, bringing you closer to the artists and characters you love.
