The 'Bose Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar' is a single-enclosure home theater-friendly audio soundbar that blends an integrated driver array with wireless streaming, touch controls and HDMI connectivity.
The system uses a multi-driver configuration that includes full-range drivers, up-firing channels and PhaseGuide components that direct sound laterally across a room. Elsewhere, CleanBass technology offers exceptional bass that is crystal-clear and deep across the entire spectrum even at loud volumes.
The soundbar supports playback through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Google Cast and Apple AirPlay, and can be paired with additional speakers or a subwoofer for expanded configurations. Built-in tuning adjusts output based on the specific room environment, while dialogue-focused processing modifies vocal clarity during playback.
Available for $1,099.00, this audio soundbar offers immersive and high-clarity audio for a variety of applications.
