The Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Plus is a high-end soundbar that promises an immersive audio experience worthy of a home theater, all in a compact and elegant form factor. Successor to the highly acclaimed AMBEO Soundbar Max, this Plus model aims to deliver exceptional sound performance in a more accessible format.
Breathtaking sound immersion
The AMBEO Soundbar Plus is equipped with 9 speakers, including 7 full-range 5 cm drivers with aluminum cones and 2 high-performance 10 cm woofers. This configuration delivers 7.1.4-channel sound with a total power of 400 watts, creating an impressive three-dimensional soundstage.
Sennheiser’s proprietary AMBEO 3D technology is at the heart of this immersion. It uses advanced algorithms to analyze the audio content and create a virtual sound field that extends well beyond the physical limits of the bar. The upward- and side-firing speakers contribute to this expanded sound, giving the illusion that sound is coming from all directions.
Extensive compatibility for all your content
The AMBEO Soundbar Plus supports a wide range of audio formats, including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and MPEG-H. This broad compatibility lets you fully enjoy your movies, series, and music, whatever their encoding. The soundbar can also process 360 Reality Audio and Dolby Atmos Music, delivering a new kind of immersive musical experience.
In terms of connectivity, the bar offers multiple options. You get 3 HDMI inputs, including one eARC-compatible, an optical input, an analog RCA input, as well as an Ethernet port. Wireless options include Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, and Chromecast, allowing you to easily stream music from your mobile devices.
Smart calibration for optimal sound
One of the standout features of the AMBEO Soundbar Plus is its automatic calibration system. Thanks to four built-in high-precision microphones, the bar analyzes your room’s acoustics and adjusts its settings accordingly. This process, which takes only a few minutes, ensures you always get the best possible sound, whatever your room layout.
The calibration system takes into account sound reflections, material absorption, and even furniture placement to create a personalized acoustic profile. This optimization ensures an even distribution of sound and greater accuracy of spatial effects, fully immersing you in the action.
Intuitive control at your fingertips
Sennheiser has focused on ease of use with its Smart Control app. This intuitive interface lets you customize your sound experience by adjusting the equalizer, selecting different preset sound modes, or fine-tuning the intensity of the AMBEO 3D effect.
The app also offers an interactive demo mode, ideal for discovering the bar’s capabilities straight out of the box. For those who prefer physical controls, the AMBEO Soundbar Plus comes with an elegant and practical remote control.
Sleek design and seamless integration
With dimensions of 105.1 x 7.7 x 12.1 cm, the AMBEO Soundbar Plus fits easily into most living room setups. Its clean, elegant design, dominated by a black fabric grille, allows it to blend discreetly beneath your TV.
Despite its power, the soundbar remains relatively compact and light (6.3 kg), making installation easier. It can be placed on a TV stand or wall-mounted using the optional mounting brackets.
Scalability and customization
Although the AMBEO Soundbar Plus already delivers impressive bass performance, Sennheiser offers the option of adding up to four subwoofers AMBEO Sub for those seeking even more depth and impact in the low frequencies.
The bar also offers great flexibility in terms of sound customization. In addition to the four-band graphic equalizer available in the app, you can adjust the intensity of the AMBEO 3D effect to suit your preferences, ranging from a more direct sound to total immersion.
