Pulse Soundbar+ brings Bluesound more than up-to-date in the series of high-quality soundbars. The Pulse Soundbar 2i is already at the top in terms of its structure and acoustic design: it's not really just a soundbar, but a complete hi-fi system. It replaces a bulky and complicated AV amplifier and large speakers and is now updated in the same way as other Bluesound products. Pulse Soundbar+ utilizes a new processor structure, thanks to which the processing power is eight times faster and the memory speed is four times faster compared to the previous version.
Although the Pulse Soundbar+ replaces hi-fi equipment when listening to music, it is still a full-fledged home theater device. Now rear speakers and a subwoofer can be wirelessly connected to it without additional devices: its own WiFi link enables this directly, without using the home WiFi network. In this way, watching movies, following sports or playing games is reproduced wonderfully in multi-channel.
The new, powerful processor now also enables Dolby Atmos support: with the help of digital processing, a believable 3D height effect can be created without separate speakers. Naturally, an HDMI eARC connection is available for connecting a modern TV. For other program sources, there is both a digital Toslink input and an analog input. Of course, all program sources offered by the BluOS operating system are included: internet radios and streaming services according to your taste. The Pulse Soundbar+ also works seamlessly with other Bluesound devices in a multi-room system.
