Toronto, Canada, November 17, 2021 – BluOS™, the premium multi-room music management platform by Lenbrook International, has announced a few enhancements that will come with the release of version 3.16. Ahead of the US Black Friday holiday, users will be prompted to update their BluOS players, at which time, Bluesound customers will gain access to the immersive power of Dolby Atmos for the PULSE SOUNDBAR+ and BluOS-Enabled products will further expand their commercially-licensed music service integrations with the addition of Tunify.
An Immersive Dolby Atmos Experience
The unique BluOS implementation of Dolby Atmos in the PULSE SOUNDBAR+ features four virtualization profiles - Movie, Music, Late Night and Off - giving listeners more choice in how they enjoy an immersive home theater experience. While Dolby Atmos decoded content provides the most realistic Dolby Atmos experience, any content can be virtualized to provide users a wider, higher, and more enveloping soundstage. Great care has been taken to assure the timbre of the audio remains natural anywhere in the listening environment.
“The BluOS 3.16 firmware brings multiple immersive experiences to the Bluesound PULSE SOUNDBAR+ allowing every possible listening experience to be improved, says Andrew Haines, BluOS Product Manager. “For example, you can use the music or movie profile to create a completely new experience while listening to music in ways you have never heard before. With Dolby Atmos, every sound is positioned around you, creating a three-dimensional space that places you in the recording studio or in the middle of the action, bringing you closer to the artists and characters you love.”
