The AMBEO Soundbar Plus delivers a 7.1.4 virtual surround experience from a single bar with nine drivers and dual built-in subwoofers. Its HDMI 2.1 eARC output handles uncompressed Dolby Atmos TrueHD from the TV, while two HDMI 2.0 inputs pass 4K HDR signals through for source devices. A mono RCA subwoofer pre-out lets you add the matching AMBEO Sub wirelessly or a wired subwoofer. Power arrives via a detachable figure-8 IEC C7 cord at the rear — standard replacement cables work worldwide.
