Sennheiser launches AMBEO Soundbar Mini; brings immersive audio technology to even the coziest of spaces

NEW DELHI, Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The German audio brand's award-winning AMBEO Soundbar experience is now available in a fits-anywhere footprint with the launch of Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Mini. With a sound that punches well above its weight and up to 7.1.4 virtualization, the latest addition to the spatial audio Soundbar family readies even the smallest of spaces for three-dimensional acoustics.

"The magic of Sennheiser AMBEO technology immerses consumers in stunning 3D sound from a simple, single source in practically any home entertainment space," says Vijay Sharma, General Manager, Sennheiser Consumer Business India.. "Our most compact Soundbar yet comes at the perfect time with both features and dimensions that are a joy to live with, in or out of the living room."

A fun-size bar

At less than half the cubic volume of its Soundbar Plus sibling, it's easy to see why the Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Mini appeals to audio lovers looking to upgrade a current living room, desktop, bedroom, or even game room setup. At just 70 x 10 x 6.5 cm in size, it blends into nearly any TV or monitor arrangement, yet stands out with its cutting-edge acoustics. There are 250 Watts of ultra-clean class D amplification powering four high-end full-range drivers and dual four-inch subwoofers, so consumers can expect the sharp fidelity, impactful bass and crystal-clear presence that make its bigger relatives a hit with audio critics.

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 HDMI¹ 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.

Those who know, AMBEO

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 IIS²—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 Alexa³ voice assistant commands as the Soundbar features Alexa Built-In. Consumers also have the option to utilize existing Google Assistant⁴ or Siri-enabled devices to cast audio to the Mini through Chromecast Built-In™ and AirPlay®⁵, 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 Audio codecs, and 360 Reality Audio⁶ 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 vibrant, room-filling sound and impactful bass—all the way down to 43 Hz—from your favorite streaming services such as a Spotify, TIDAL, Amazon Music, and Apple Music®. AMBEO|OS seamlessly 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).
