Feel Your Audio
The PULSE SOUNDBAR 2i features six high-performance drivers and two advanced passive radiators to produce an immersive sonic experience designed to heighten every layer of acoustic detail for your favorite movies, sports, concerts, and video games.
Advanced Design
The PULSE SOUNDBAR 2i uses a three-way, tri-amplified speaker design, with each driver—woofer, mid, and tweeter—driven by its own dedicated amplifier, blending the low and high frequencies using DSP-powered crossover filters. Each driver is housed in individually optimized chambers to help eliminate vibrations, allowing the soundbar to deliver deep bass with virtually no distortion.
An Expandable System
Create an advanced Dolby Digital surround system by adding an optional PULSE SUB and a pair of optional PULSE FLEX 2i speakers as dedicated rear speakers to hear even more detail in your favorite movies and TV shows. Setup is done directly through the BluOS Controller app.
Voice Control
With support for Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri, you can connect the soundbar to the corresponding app and enjoy hands-free voice control of your personal music libraries, streaming services, and more using simple, streamlined commands. Select a track, play your favorite playlist, pause or skip a song, and tell your assistant the room in which it should play your music.
Choose Your Controller
With IR support, you can seamlessly program IR remote commands directly into the PULSE SOUNDBAR 2i. You can select the listening mode directly in the BluOS Controller app, which includes two dialogue enhancing modes, a wide music mode, and a wide cinema mode.
Whole-Home Control
Connect the PULSE SOUNDBAR 2i to multiple Bluesound players throughout your home with the BluOS Controller app and create an intuitive multiroom music system.
