Highlights & Key Technologies

AMBEO Virtualization Technology
State-of-the-art AMBEO virtualization technology recreates a 7.1.4 home theater system with built-in dual-subwoofers without cluttering your room with cables and speakers. Developed in collaboration with the Fraunhofer-Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, Sennheiser's AMBEO technology delivers end-to-end 3D audio, enabling the most natural and immersive sound experiences. The Soundbar is compatible with the latest 3D Sound Codecs: Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, MPEG-H, and 360 Reality Audio.

Automated Room Calibration
Smart self-calibration precisely learns the acoustics of your room and generates as well as positions seven virtual speakers around you, complemented by four additional overhead speakers. The Adaptive Mode scans the content being played and makes necessary adjustments to guarantee the best possible listening experience. Upmixing of stereo content with AMBEO virtualization creates a unique, room-filling soundstage while customizable presets allow you to fine-tune the sound based on your specific preferences and needs.
