Bluesound has been known for their Hi-Fi devices over the years with one of them being their soundbar which was the the Pulse. I have covered both that model and its Plus version as well. They were relatively great at the time for having support for 24-Bit audio and other hi-res codecs. Now they are coming back with new soundbars that look totally redesigned. Also available in two models with Pulse Cinema and Pulse Cinema Mini.
They were rather huge stretching over 42″ long and looks like the Pulse Cinema will continue that trend coming in at 47″. The Mini version will be at a reasonable 33″.
PULSE CINEMA: A 47-inch multi-room streaming soundbar built for cinematic
performance, featuring 500 watts of total system power and a driver array that includes
a dedicated center channel, dual 4” woofers, and dedicated upfiring speakers. The
result is a 3D soundstage that enhances everything from movies and games to music
and sports with more details and realism.
PULSE CINEMA MINI: A compact 33-inch soundbar delivering 280 watts of total
system power and a surprisingly immersive experience with angled drivers and dual 4”woofers. Ideal for tighter setups and installations, the PULSE CINEMA MINI blends
premium sound with subtle, modern design.
Both models support HDMI eARC, optical and analog inputs, and offer flexible placement
options, including automatic DSP-powered orientation detection that eliminates the need for manual tuning when wall mounted. They also feature BluOS, Bluesound’s powerful multi-room audio platform that enables wireless surround sound, hi-res music streaming, and integration with smart home control systems like Control4 and Crestron.
Multi-Room Music with BluOS
The PULSE CINEMA and CINEMA MINI are powered by BluOS, the award-winning multi-room streaming platform. BluOS supports more than 20 streaming services – including TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, Amazon Music, Pandora, and Deezer – and playback of high-resolution formats up to 24-bit/192kHz. Users can connect and stream their digital music libraries, enjoy internet radio stations, or sync audio seamlessly across multiple rooms with other Bluesound or BluOS enabled products. The BluOS Controller app, available on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows, makes it simple to browse, control, and enjoy music— from anywhere in the home.
Scalable and Wireless by Design
Users can easily pair the new PULSE CINEMA and PULSE CINEMA MINI with other Bluesound speakers and create a larger, multi-channel surround system with discrete front and rear channels. Simply pair the soundbars with the PULSE SUB+ subwoofer and one of Bluesound’s stereo solutions as rears to create immersive wireless surround sound system, without the need for a traditional AV receiver or extensive cabling.
