BLUESOUND Pulse Soundbar+
SUPERIOR SOUND QUALITY
With high-resolution 24-bit audio processing, eight speaker drivers and 120 watts of total output power, the PULSE SOUNDBAR+ delivers audiophile-quality audio reproduction with an astonishingly deep and clearly contoured bass foundation considering its compact dimensions.
home cinema in particular will be pleased to know that the soundbar can also be paired wirelessly with the PULSE SUB+ for more volume and low bass pressure. And for rear surround playback, simply add a pair of PULSE FLEX 2i speakers, which are also wirelessly controlled.
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES
The PULSE SOUNDBAR+ features a brand new quad-core processor specifically designed to deliver audio at ultra-fast speeds and in the highest quality. For Bluesound this technology means the step into the next BluOS generation.
The chipset, which was developed specifically for music streaming, has four processor cores and is thus more powerful than all other processors used in streaming speakers to date.
UNFORGETTABLE 3D SOUND EXPERIENCES
With Dolby Atmos®, you’ll hear music, movie soundtracks, and games as if you were in the theater, with a spectacular room-filling soundstage. Every sound, every noise and every acoustic detail is precisely positioned in the appropriate place.
This creates a three-dimensional space that puts you right in the recording studio or in the middle of the movie scene and lets you experience the musicians, actors and sound effects much more intensely. And with the wirelessly controllable PULSE FLEX 2i speakers for the rear surround channels and the SUB+ subwoofer, which can also be wirelessly integrated into the network, an even better-sounding multi-channel home theater system can be set up.
DIVERSE CONNECTION OPTIONS
Virtually any audio source can be connected to the PULSE SOUNDBAR+ – a variety of wireless, digital and analog connection options are available:
TV or game console via HDMI eARC, smartphones or laptops via Apple AirPlay 2 and bi-directional Bluetooth® aptX HD, external audio sources via Toslink, RCA or USB as well as music streaming services and your own music library wirelessly via our proprietary high-resolution BluOS streaming system.
This can also be upgraded to a multi-room system with up to 63 additional BluOS players from Bluesound and other brands and integrated into numerous professional home automation systems.
BLUOS MUSIC STREAMING
BluOS streaming platform offers you the possibility to stream your favorite music, podcasts, radio plays and radio stations from the Internet. You have direct access to numerous music streaming services and their catalogs.
Even MQA music data stored in studio quality, such as that offered by Tidal, can be played. You can browse your personal music libraries and enjoy your songs and albums in lossless quality over your local LAN or WiFi, connect the SOUNDBAR+ via Apple AirPlay 2, or play music stored on your smartphone via Bluetooth® aptX HD.
MULTIROOM PLAYBACK
Network the PULSE SOUNDBAR+ with other Bluesound players to stream music in different rooms in absolute sync.
Alternatively, each Bluesound player in the network can be controlled with a different stream, for example, to listen to children’s songs in the dining room and the latest Ed Sheeran album in the bathroom.
