Overview
The PULSE CINEMA delivers big, lifelike sound from a single, sleek soundbar. With 16 custom tuned drivers, including dedicated upfiring speakers and a center channel, it creates an expansive 3.2.2 Dolby Atmos® soundstage. From crisp dialogue to deep bass, every detail is elevated. You can personalize your soundstage with three adjustable Listening Modes Movie, Music, and Late Night — each offering a distinct Dolby Atmos-enhanced profile. Setup is simple with HDMI eARC connectivity, eliminating the need for a receiver or extra gear.
Build a full surround sound system without the clutter. The PULSE CINEMA works seamlessly with other Bluesound speakers for a complete wireless surround setup. Everything is managed through the BluOS Controller app, making it easy to stream music, group zones, and control your system — or your entire BluOS multi-room setup — from anywhere in your home.
Designed to fit your space, the PULSE CINEMA includes a wall-mount bracket or can be placed on a media stand. Its drivers and DSP automatically adjust based on orientation, so there’s no need for manual setup. With its low- profile form factor, it blends into any room while delivering powerful performance.
Whether you're watching a movie, listening to playlists, or playing games, the PULSE CINEMA handles it all. Built-in amplification and Dolby Atmos® decoding mean you get full-range sound with no AVR required. Just one soundbar — no racks, no receivers — for rich, spacious audio that’s ready when you are.
The PULSE CINEMA keeps setup easy with HDMI eARC, optical and analog inputs, and a dedicated subwoofer output for wired or wireless bass expansion. Everything is controlled through the BluOS Controller app, so you can stream music, adjust settings, or create multi room setups without the need for extra remotes or complicated interfaces.
