Sennheiser’s AMBEO Soundbar experience is now available in a fits-anywhere footprint: the AMBEO Soundbar Mini.
At less than half the cubic volume of its Soundbar Plus sibling, the Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Mini appeals to audio lovers looking to upgrade a current living room, desktop, bedroom, or game room setup. At 70 x 10 x 6.5 cm in size, it blends into nearly any TV or monitor arrangement. There are 250 watts of Class D amplification powering four high-end, full-range drivers and dual 4-inch subwoofers.
Other useful audio modes personalize the listening experience, including content-specific presets, a Voice enhancement option, and neighbor-friendly Night mode. Ease of use is at the heart of the Mini, with an HDMI input that accommodates a wide range of eARC-enabled TVs or monitors. Integration with the Sennheiser Smart Control App makes management of features and updates from your smartphone a breeze.
Review: Sennheiser SB01 AMBEO Soundbar
Like its larger siblings, the Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Mini’s 3D sound is the result of a collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS — a world leader in audio research and development. The Mini has four integrated microphones that serve a dual purpose: they function as the central component of the AMBEO room calibration and facilitate Alexa voice assistant commands, as the Soundbar features Alexa Built-In. Consumers also have the option to utilize existing Google Assistant or Siri-enabled devices to cast audio to the Mini through Chromecast Built-In and AirPlay, respectively.
As with all AMBEO Soundbars, the native AMBEO|OS operating system allows for one-touch calibration that scans the room, adjusting the surround virtualization to account for various room sizes, reflections, and textures. Further, the Mini supports popular Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, MPEG-H codecs, and 360 Reality Audio formats and experiences for enjoying native spatial audio content. A wide-ranging support of digital music services also makes the Mini a great streaming companion over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth with impactful bass — all the way down to 43 Hz — from streaming services such as a Spotify, TIDAL, Amazon Music, and Apple Music. AMBEO|OS integrates the Mini into popular content ecosystems as a Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and AirPlay 2 device. Bass lovers can add even more low-end punch with wireless connection to as many four Sennheiser AMBEO Subs (sold separately).
The Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Mini will be available to order at sennheiser-hearing.com and select retailers on September 1, with an MSRP of $799.99.
