Bluesound føjer en ny high-end soundbar til porteføljen. Pulse Soundbar+ til 900 Euro med multirum, Dolby Atmos og AirPlay 2 skal ud og udfordre bl.a. Sonos.
Hvid er dyrere end sort
Bluesound ser sin nye high-end soundbar som "den ultimative audiofil-klasse" løsning, som "er for lyd, hvad 8K TV er for video" – måske ikke den bedste sammenligning taget det sløve 8K-marked i betragtning. Ordet "audiofil" har Bluesound også yndet at bruge om den tidligere soundbar i Pulse-serien.
Ikke desto mindre ligner det et ganske potent system med otte enheder, 24-bit lydprocessering og samlet output på 120W. Bluesounds Pulse Soundbar+ skal ud og konkurrere direkte med soundbarer som Sonos Arc. Brugeren kan tilkøbe subwoofer, Pulse Sub+, såfremt man ønsker mere kraft i lydbilledet.

- "Pulse Soundbar+ er en system-løsning, der erstatter behovet for store AV-receivere. Pulse Soundbar+ er designet til at passe perfekt under HD TV, og den tilbyder en fuldt ud fordybende lytteoplevelse takket være deres vifte af funktioner," lyder det fra selskabet.
Af andre funktioner fremhæves multirum (via BluOS), Apple AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, USB, optisk indgang, HDMI eARC, et ARM Cortex A53 chipset, to WiFi-chip samt understøttelse af stemmekommandoer via Amazon, Apple og Google.

Selskabet siger, at soundbaren understøtter Dolby Atmos, om end den ikke lader til at være udstyret med loft- eller side-vendte enheder. Købere kan trådløst parre den med Flex 2i højttalere, som kan agere baghøjttalere og udvide surround-effekten.
Bluesound oplyser, at Pulse Soundbar+ kan leveres i Europa fra slutningen af april. Den koster 899 Euro i sort og 1099 Euro i hvid. Yderligere information kan findes på bluesound.com.
