That’s useful if Netflix and/or Amazon are your main movie and TV show sources, as both carry a good chunk of Atmos-enabled content. This means that not only can the Sennheiser pass signals (4K and HDR, including Dolby Vision, are supported) from the other inputs to the TV, it can also receive sound signals – including Dolby Atmos – from the TV via the one cable. What’s more, the Ambeo Soundbar's delivery is worth making the effort for.Īround the back of the Ambeo Soundbar you’ll find four HDMI sockets, three of which are standard inputs, and one of which is marked ‘TV’ and supports eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel). Though positioning the Sennheiser requires a good deal more effort than most soundbars, it’s easier than setting up a genuine Atmos surround sound system. Like most products of its ilk, the Sennheiser bounces sound off your room’s walls and ceiling to create surround and Atmos effects, and while the mic-driven calibration will compensate at least somewhat for an irregularly shaped and/or cluttered room, there’s no substitute for central placement on a wall and as few sonic obstructions as possible. The dimensions and weight of the bar aren’t the only things to consider during positioning, either. And yes, given the Ambeo's hefty price tag, it does seem rather galling that the bracket isn't included in the box. Even so, you need to take into account the Sennheiser’s 18.5kg weight and the extra cost of the dedicated wall-mount bracket.

The ideal scenario is to have your TV wall-mounted, and the Sennheiser below it, either on a shelf/rack or wall-mounted itself.
