#Connect microphone to sound bar drivers#

It sports a total of 13 speaker drivers-six 4-inch long-throw, cellulose-sandwich cone woofers, five 1-inch aluminum-dome tweeters (two of which fire to the sides at an angle), and two upfiring 3.5-inch full-range drivers powered by a total of 500 watts. The Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar is massive, measuring about 50x5x7 inches (WxHxD) and weighing almost 41 pounds. We returned our review unit shortly after this review was published, so we wonвЂ™t be able to evaluate the new feauture, but we wanted our readers to know about it. Updated Apto report Sennheiser has released a firmware update for the Ambeo Soundbar that adds support for SonyвЂ™s immersive 360 Reality Audio technology. This high-end behemoth sits near the top of the soundbar price range and claims to reproduce a virtual 5.1.4 immersive soundfield-a claim that has some merit, though it never fooled me into thinking I was listening to an actual immersive multi-speaker system.

Or can it? ThatвЂ™s the goal Sennheiser set for itself with its Ambeo Soundbar. On the other hand, a soundbar canвЂ™t reproduce a fully directional surround or immersive soundfield like a system with separate speakers located around the listening area. It offers better sound quality than a TVвЂ™s built-in audio, and itвЂ™s much more convenient to set up and use. A soundbar is an attractive alternative to a full-blown outboard speaker system.
