Design and Construction
At first glance, the Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar doesn’t seem particularly spectacular yet: the design couldn’t be more typical for a Soundbar. The same applies to the design concept, which is completely black. So far, so good. On closer inspection, however, it quickly becomes apparent that this is not just any kind of sound bar; Sennheiser is taking on a different challenge. The selection and combination of the materials and the workmanship as a whole probably involve a good deal of work. Thus, there is a fabric covering at the front that clearly reminds of hi-fi loudspeakers. Behind it – depending on the viewing angle – the driver ensemble can already be guessed. The brushed aluminum plate with the control panel embedded in the robust housing at the top leaves an extremely valuable impression; it is framed on the left and on the right by two finely perforated grill elements that give a hint of further drivers.

Operation and scope of delivery
The remote control, an HDMI cable and the microphone required for calibration are of course included in the scope of delivery. All you need is the free Sennheiser Smart Control App, which allows you to tailor the Ambeo even more individually to your personal sound needs. The remote control has buttons with pre-programmed modes such as film, music, night and more, while the equalizer is controlled via the mobile device with the app. Updates and other future functions can be easily uploaded via the Internet connection without having to worry about anything. Since Google Chromecast and Bluetooth are already integrated, you can start listening right away. Three HDMI inputs and one HDMI output, optical input and aux-in round off the Soundbar.
The Sennheiser Event
If after all this you feel the need to experience the Sennheiser Ambeo in all its glory, that would not be surprising. As mentioned at the beginning, this soundbar, like all our soundbars, is set up in our TV studios ready for demonstration at any time. Additionally, on Saturday, the 8th of June, during our store opening hours from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., we organize an event where everything revolves around the Ambeo. Come by and get your own impression of the sound bar in the spectacular Dolby Atmos backdrop – including a spectacular spatial sound experience. We look forward to welcoming you!
