Bose's premium single-bar solution delivers Dolby Atmos through an HDMI eARC connection — but there is no HDMI input for passthrough, so all sources must connect directly to your TV. The rear panel features four 3.5mm jacks for Bose-specific accessories: a Bass port for a wired subwoofer connection, an ADAPTiQ port for the included room calibration headset, an IR receiver port, and a service data port. A USB-C port is reserved for service use only.
Dolby Atmos soundbar with HDMI eARC and optical — no HDMI passthrough. Four 3.5mm accessory ports.
