Press Release

Sennheiser has renamed its original Ambeo to “Ambeo Max”, the brand’s flagship Dolby Atmos soundbar.

The front, side and up-firing drivers, along with raw power, help the Ambeo Max deliver an incredibly immersive sound.

In a press release, Sennheiser has announced a significant firmware upgrade for the Ambeo Max. According to the brand, it “marks the most substantial advancement since the product’s original launch.”

The firmware update improves the Ambeo Max soundbar in three key ways.

• Customizable Immersion – adjustable volume levels for side, top, and center channel speaker virtualization, tailoring the immersive 3D experience to personal preferences and to the needs of individual content 
• Lossless audio – Extended high-resolution lossless audio performance: native Dolby Atmos Music (via Tidal) is now joined by support for up to 24-bit / 96 kHz audio through Google Cast for Audio, and up to 24-bit / 192 kHz via Tidal Connect 
• Voice Enhancement Mode – ensures dialogue remains clear and intelligible, even when sound effects or music dominate the mix in films, shows, and sports

“With AMBEO | OS2, we’re boosting the impressive capabilities of our flagship soundbar even further with high-performance features for music lovers and movie buffs just like us,” said Guy Gampell, Senior Product Manager for AMBEO Soundbars “Whether they’re enjoying a blockbuster film or high-fidelity music, ‘Max’ customers new and old can fill their homes with jaw-dropping sound controlled by the smartphone already in their pocket.” 

The free firmware update is available now. Ambeo Max owners can update their soundbar using the Sennheiser Smart Control app on their smartphone (iOS and Android compatible).

Sennheiser has also released two smaller soundbars, the mid-range Ambeo Plus and entry-level Ambeo Mini.
