Bluesound Adds High-Res Dolby Atmos Sound Bar With Faster Processor

Bluesound bowed the Pulse Soundbar+ with an Arm quad-core chipset that's said to process audio eight times faster than previous generations of Bluesound architecture. The 120-watt high-resolution audio sound bar ($899 in black, $999 in white), with Dolby Atmos and multiroom, multichannel audio support, will be available next month, said the company. Dual Wi-Fi chips are said to prevent network latency for gaming use. The Pulse supports Amazon, Apple and Google voice assistants, and it’s controllable by home control platforms including those from Lutron and Crestron, said the company.
