Bluesound Pulse Cinema Multi-Room Streaming Soundbar
Full Details
Make Home Theater Easy and Accessible with the Bluesound Pulse Cinema Multi-Room Streaming Soundbar: Features 16 Drivers, 3.2.2 Dolby Atmos, DSD256 Support, and Smart DSP Amplification
Place the Bluesound Pulse Cinema Soundbar underneath your television or anywhere you listen, and hear the difference a high-quality device makes when it comes to dialog, dynamics, clarity, details, and low-end frequency extension in comparison to stock or built-in speakers. Featuring 16 custom-tuned drivers arrayed with a speaker configuration that provides a 3.2.2 Dolby Atmos soundstage, this 14.75-pound soundbar delivers 500 watts of total power, smart DSP amplification, and wireless convenience. DSD256 playback is on tap, too.
Measuring 2.91 x 47.12 x 5.51 inches (HWD), Pulse Cinema seamlessly works with other Bluesound speakers (letting you build a complete wireless surround setup) and touts the proven BluOS wireless multi-room platform. Control everything from the BluOS app, which invites you to do everything from stream high-res music to tailor the sound to your preferences with three adjustable Listening Modes (Movie, Music, Late Night). And since the drivers and DSP automatically adjust based on orientation, there’s no need to worry about manual setup. Similarly painless, HDMI eARC connectivity eliminates the requirement for a receiver or more gear.
Further prepared for your system needs with an optical Toslink input, stereo RCA input, wired or wireless subwoofer output, and programmable quick-touch presets, the Roon-ready Pulse Cinema includes two-way Bluetooth, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.2 aptX Adaptive, and Creston connectivity. Integrated AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and Internet radio complement Amazon Alexa voice control. And when it comes to multichannel audio, you can enjoy Dolby Digital, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.
Inside, a Quad-core 1.8GHz ARM Cortex A53 processor ensures accuracy and speed, while touch LED buttons give you even more choices when it comes to control. Supplied with a wall-mount bracket, template, hex tool, and bolts in case you go that route, Pulse Cinema simplifies home-cinema experiences and brings the immersion of Dolby Atmos to life in an easy, uncomplicated package.
