PULSE SOUNDBAR
High-Res Audio That Fits Under Your TV
Home entertainment just got a huge upgrade
The PULSE SOUNDBAR may be engineered to fit perfectly - and beautifully - under your TV but it is so much more than just a soundbar. As the world's first multi-room high-res soundbar it becomes your mission control to launch an audiophile-grade music experience in every room. Its deceptively simple design delivers the stunning authenticity of true 24-bit/192kHz high-res audio to whatever song you're playing but also makes watching movies, sports, video games and concert films a fully immersive sonic experience. You simply have to hear it to believe it.
This revolutionary all-in-one high-res system features 120 watts of direct digital power pumped through 6 individual amplifiers, feeding 8 speakers housed in isolated extruded aluminum chambers for a full, dynamic range and astounding bass response, all processed through the same kind of powerful multicore processor you can find in your smartphone or tablet. Yes, this soundbar comes with a computer inside. With the built-in BluOS multi-room OS and streaming app, you also have a multi-room sound system at your fingertips - and the ability to stream studio master quality files using the Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) audio codec. The first soundbar in the world to be able to do so.
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN SOUND
Whether it’s the thundering of an explosion, or the battle cry of an electric guitar, the PULSE SOUNDBAR allows you to experience sound like never before. As the world’s first hi-res soundbar, the PULSE SOUNDBAR heightens every layer of musical detail regardless of whether you’re listening to a favorite song or watching a much-loved film.
CHOOSE YOUR PREFERENCE
With the PULSE SOUNDBAR, you no longer have to worry about limitations when it comes to listening to your favorite tracks the way you want to hear them. With user selectable listening modes that include two dialog enhancing modes, a wide music mode and a wide cinema mode, the PULSE SOUNDBAR is as versatile as it is incredible.
TOTAL CONTROL
Thanks to the power of BluOS, the PULSE SOUNDBAR becomes yours to command. Intuitive and efficient, the BluOS App makes navigating your music library incredibly seamless, while also giving you access to various streaming services. On top of unleashing your music collection, the BluOS App also allows you to control the PULSE SOUNDBAR, letting you decide how you hear the most engaging songs and films around.
WIRELESS HOME THEATER
With an outstanding deep bass extension, the PULSE SOUNDBAR delivers more than enough earth-shaking power to accurately capture the magnitude of your favorite bass heavy tracks. However, if you wish to have even more heart-thumping bass, look no further than the PULSE SUB, Bluesound’s wireless subwoofer. Created to integrate seamlessly with the PULSE SOUNDBAR, the PULSE SUB easily captures the roar of a stadium or the exhilaration of an intense action sequence.
Get ready to discover a whole new world of sound.
