Description

The Bluesound PULSE CINEMA is a premium all-in-one Dolby Atmos soundbar that brings genuine 3.2.2-channel immersive audio to your living room without a receiver, without complexity, and without compromise.

Sixteen custom-tuned drivers - including dedicated upfiring speakers and a centre channel - are powered by 500 watts of total system power and smart DSP amplification to create a wide, enveloping soundstage from a single slim unit measuring just 74 mm tall.

Built around an aluminium body chassis with tonal weave fabric, the PULSE CINEMA connects to your TV via a single HDMI eARC cable and is ready to play in minutes via the BluOS Controller app.

Three listening modes - Movie, Music, and Late Night - optimise the Dolby Atmos processing for each context, and the DSP automatically adjusts for placement whether the bar is on a media unit or wall-mounted. Expand to a full wireless surround system by adding a pair of PULSE M or PULSE FLEX speakers as rear channels and a PULSE SUB+ for deep bass, all managed through the BluOS app.

  • 3.2.2 Dolby Atmos - 16 Drivers, 500W: Five 0.75" tweeters, five 1.5" x 3" midrange drivers, two 4" woofers, and four 4" passive radiators deliver full 3.2.2-channel Dolby Atmos with authentic upfiring height channels - no virtual processing shortcuts.
  • No Receiver Required: Built-in amplification and Dolby Atmos decoding mean the PULSE CINEMA connects directly to your TV via HDMI eARC for a clean, single-cable setup. Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, and LPCM are all supported.
  • Hi-Res Music Streaming: The full BluOS platform is built in, with access to 23+ services including TIDAL Connect, Spotify Connect, Qobuz Connect, and Roon Ready, plus hi-res playback up to 24-bit/192kHz and DSD256.
  • Expandable Wireless Surround System: Add a pair of Bluesound PULSE M or PULSE FLEX speakers as wireless rear channels and a PULSE SUB+ for a complete Dolby Atmos home theatre setup - all connected and controlled through the BluOS app.
  • Three Listening Modes: Movie, Music, and Late Night modes apply tailored Dolby Atmos DSP profiles, making it simple to optimise the sound for what you're watching or listening to without diving into equalisation menus.
  • Automatic Orientation DSP: The PULSE CINEMA automatically detects whether it is placed horizontally on a stand or wall-mounted and adjusts its DSP accordingly - no manual recalibration needed after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Bluesound PULSE CINEMA support Dolby Atmos?

Yes - the PULSE CINEMA delivers genuine 3.2.2-channel Dolby Atmos with dedicated upfiring drivers, not virtual processing. The 16-driver array includes separate upfiring tweeters and midrange drivers to create real height channels above the listener, giving film soundtracks and spatial audio content genuine three-dimensional depth. Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD are also supported.

Do I need a separate AV receiver to use the Bluesound PULSE CINEMA?

No - the PULSE CINEMA has built-in amplification delivering 500 watts total system power, and handles Dolby Atmos decoding internally. It connects directly to your TV via a single HDMI eARC cable with no additional components required. An optical Toslink input and stereo RCA analogue input are also available for secondary sources.

Can the Bluesound PULSE CINEMA be expanded into a full surround sound system?

Yes - the PULSE CINEMA can be paired with a pair of Bluesound PULSE M or PULSE FLEX speakers as rear channels and a PULSE SUB+ subwoofer for a complete multi-channel Dolby Atmos setup, all managed through the BluOS Controller app. A wired RCA subwoofer output with a fixed 90 Hz crossover is also available for use with a third-party subwoofer. Please note: if you are planning a fully wireless surround configuration, we recommend checking current firmware status with us before purchase, as wireless surround grouping support was subject to a software update at launch.

Can I use the Bluesound PULSE CINEMA to stream music as well as watch TV?

Yes - the PULSE CINEMA runs the full BluOS platform, giving access to 23+ streaming services including TIDAL Connect, Spotify Connect, Qobuz Connect, and Roon Ready, with hi-res playback up to 24-bit/192kHz and DSD256. Three listening modes — Movie, Music, and Late Night — let you tailor the DSP profile to the content. It can also be grouped with other Bluesound players for whole-home hi-res audio.

What TV size is the Bluesound PULSE CINEMA designed for?

The PULSE CINEMA is 1196 mm (approximately 47 inches) wide and is designed for use with TVs of 55 inches and above. It can be placed on a media unit or wall-mounted using the included bracket, and automatically adjusts its DSP for each placement - no manual recalibration needed.
