The Ambeo Soundbar Max from Sennheiser makes a huge impression with its dimensions alone. The housing is over 1.20 meters wide and a good 17 centimeters deep, so the almost 13 centimeters height hardly makes a difference. Speaking of weight: The Ambeo Max weighs an impressive 18 kilograms, which is mainly due to the total of 13 loudspeaker chassis and their power supply. However, the high-quality workmanship also contributes to the weight to a certain extent.
The Ambeo Max can be set up america rcs data and connected in no time at all. The microphone supplied for calibration is one of the better and more solid types, and the stand is not the usual cardboard rocket, but a solid stand that allows stable, individual positioning of the microphone.
All connections are well hidden in a recess at the back of the soundbar, so they can be laid almost invisibly. A cable loop keeps the cable jungle in order if necessary.
For calibration, the microphone should be positioned at the main listening position and at ear height. The actual measurement process, in which several measurement tones are run through, is started by pressing the Ambeo button on the control panel for a longer period of time (approx. 4 seconds) and is completed in a few minutes. People should leave the room during this time to ensure the adjustment is as precise as possible. The setup is saved at the end or repeated if necessary.
Then you can get started. The soundbar itself accepts all possible available signals and can also be paired with your smartphone via Bluetooth and NFC support. The connections are well hidden but still easy to reach. The NFC area is clearly visible in the control panel on the top.
