Hear What They Say
Using Bose's A.I. Dialogue Mode, TV and movie content is automatically balanced between voices and surround effects for vocal clarity without raising the volume.
Control with Your Voice
Bose Voice4Video technology works with built-in Amazon Alexa support to let you control the Smart Ultra Soundbar with vocal commands. You can also choose to pair the soundbar with your existing Google smart home devices to use Google Assistant. Multiple noise-rejecting built-in microphones ensure that your commands are picked up clearly from any direction, but the microphones can but switched off for privacy. Choosing your favorite voice assistant is easy within the Bose music app.
Do More with SimpleSync
Added functionality is waiting for those who already own compatible Bose products. Using SimpleSync technology, you can pair the soundbar with a pair of Bose headphones for late-night listening that doesn't disturb others. You can also pair to speakers throughout the home to let the music play from room to room, or use the Action button to join an existing group.
Plug and Play Setup
Integrating the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar into your home entertainment system couldn't be easier. Simply connect the included HDMI or optical cable to your TV or receiver, plug in the power cord, and finish setup using the intuitive Bose Music app.
Stream Your Audio
You're not limited to playing audio from your TV, Blu-ray player, or video game console when using the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar. Support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, and Spotify Connect technologies allows you to stream music and other audio from the cloud, PC, phone, or tablet.
Expand Your Surround Sound
Even though Dolby Atmos and Bose TrueSpace produces immersive and sophisticated surround sound, you can enjoy an even more realistic experience by pairing the Smart Ultra Soundbar to an optional Bose Bass Module or compatible Bose Surround series speakers.
Bose Music App
In addition to completing your initial setup, the Bose Music app can be used to choose your preferred voice assistant, setup Voice4Video, and more.

Can I play music from the NAS drive using the Bose app and this soundbar?
Asked by: Vijay
The Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar and the App do not support direct playback from a NAS (Network Attached Storage) drive. The Bose Music app is designed primarily for: Streaming services (Spotify, Amazon Music, TuneIn, etc.) Bluetooth AirPlay 2 Chromecast built-in (for Android devices) Voice assistants (Alexa, Google Assistant) Unlike older Bose SoundTouch systems, which allowed adding a NAS library via the SoundTouch app, the current Bose App ecosystem does not include a feature for indexing or playing music directly from a NAS drive.
