Description

The Bluesound PULSE CINEMA MINI is a compact 2.1-channel wireless soundbar designed to bring Dolby Atmos immersive audio to bedrooms, dens, condos, and any space where a full-sized soundbar wouldn't fit.

Eight custom-tuned drivers - two 0.75" tweeters, two 1.5" midrange drivers, two 4" woofers, and two 4" passive radiators - are powered by 280 watts of Smart DSP amplification from a bar measuring just 850 mm wide and 74 mm tall.

Its aluminium chassis with tonal weave fabric sits neatly on a media unit or wall-mounts flush below a TV screen using the included bracket.

Automatic orientation sensing means the DSP adjusts itself for whichever position you choose - no manual recalibration needed. Connect your TV via HDMI eARC, open the BluOS Controller app, and you're ready to play in minutes.

Add a PULSE SUB+ for wireless deep bass, or pair with PULSE M or PULSE FLEX speakers for a full 4.1-channel wireless surround system, all managed through BluOS.

2.1-Channel Dolby Atmos, 280W: Eight custom-tuned drivers - including angled tweeters and midrange drivers for wide dispersion - deliver crisp dialogue, rich bass, and virtualised height effects from a compact 33-inch cabinet. Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD are also supported.
No Receiver Required: Built-in amplification and Dolby Atmos decoding connect directly to your TV via a single HDMI eARC cable. An optical Toslink input and analogue RCA input provide additional source flexibility.
Automatic Orientation DSP: The PULSE CINEMA MINI automatically detects whether it is placed on a surface or wall-mounted and adjusts its DSP profile accordingly, ensuring optimal sound in either position without any manual setup.
Expandable Wireless Surround: Add a PULSE SUB+ for deep wireless bass, or pair with Bluesound PULSE M or PULSE FLEX speakers for a complete 4.1-channel wireless surround system - all set up and controlled through the BluOS Controller app.
Hi-Res BluOS Streaming: Access 23+ music services including TIDAL Connect, Spotify Connect (including lossless), Qobuz Connect, and Roon Ready, with hi-res playback up to 24-bit/192kHz and DSD256. Group with other Bluesound players for whole-home audio.
Two-Way aptX Adaptive Bluetooth 5.2: Stream music wirelessly from any Bluetooth device, or use the two-way Bluetooth to listen privately through compatible Bluetooth headphones without disturbing others.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Bluesound PULSE CINEMA MINI support real Dolby Atmos or is it virtualised?

The PULSE CINEMA MINI uses Dolby Atmos processing to virtualise height effects from its 2.1-channel driver arrangement - it does not have physical upfiring drivers as found in the larger PULSE CINEMA.

The result is a convincing sense of height and immersion for a compact soundbar, but buyers wanting genuine 3.2.2 Dolby Atmos with dedicated upfiring drivers should consider the PULSE CINEMA instead.

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

No - the PULSE CINEMA MINI has built-in amplification delivering 280 watts total system power and decodes Dolby Atmos internally.

It connects directly to your TV via a single HDMI eARC cable, with an optical Toslink input and analogue RCA input also available for secondary sources.

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

Yes - you can add a PULSE SUB+ wirelessly for deep bass, and pair with Bluesound PULSE M or PULSE FLEX speakers as rear channels for a full 4.1-channel wireless surround system.

A wired RCA subwoofer output is also available for use with a third-party subwoofer. All wireless grouping is managed through the BluOS Controller app.

Can I listen through headphones with the PULSE CINEMA MINI?

Yes - the PULSE CINEMA MINI supports Bluetooth headphone output via its two-way aptX Adaptive Bluetooth 5.2, allowing you to stream audio privately to compatible wireless headphones without disturbing others. There is no wired headphone jack.

What TV sizes is the PULSE CINEMA MINI suited to?

At 850 mm (approximately 33 inches) wide, the PULSE CINEMA MINI is designed for smaller TVs and spaces, bedrooms, dens, condos, and secondary rooms where the full-sized PULSE CINEMA would be too large.

It can be placed on a media unit or wall-mounted flush below the screen using the included bracket, with automatic DSP orientation sensing adjusting the sound for each position.
