Bose India has unveiled a new soundbar in India called Smart Soundbar 900. It is a Dolby Atmos speaker backed by proprietary spatial technologies. Thanks to the presence of HDMI eARC, you get to plug in the soundbar to a TV with a single cable and have a two-way sound transmission. There are wireless connectivity options like WiFi and Bluetooth also. Not only that, but the new Bose soundbar also supports remote voice control with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. There’s even a smart app for this purpose. You also get to enjoy Spotify Connect and AirPlay 2.
So, let’s see have a better look at the offering from this Bose Smart Soundbar 700 successor.
The Bose soundbar is equipped with Dolby Atmos for surround sound. This is accompanied by the company’s own tricks for spatial sound. Bose has put in custom arrays, dipole-transducers, and low-profile transducers along with what is called Bose spatial technologies.
Here’s how the company describes its in-house features:
“While conventional Dolby Atmos soundbars create sound “overhead,” the 900 does more. Bose PhaseGuide technology adds other dimensions just as precisely, placing and “pinning” distinct sound to the right and left where there are no speakers. So the helicopter hovers above you – while the actors run past you, not across your screen. Or the singer is standing centre-left while performing – and you hear them performing centre-left in your room. When there’s no Dolby Atmos content, the horizontal spatial effects are just as effective, and Bose TrueSpace technology takes over for the vertical experience, remixing signals to add “height” without adding a ceiling speaker.
For programming or playlists, Bose QuietPort technology delivers exceptional bass performance and virtually no distortion at any volume. And if furnishings or system placement interferes with audio quality, proprietary ADAPTiQ technology automatically fixes it, optimizing performance for every space, every time.”
Bose notes the dimensions of the Smart Soundbar 900 to be — 2.3” high, just over 4” deep, and 41” long.
It is oval-shaped with a wraparound metal grille and a supposedly impact-resistant tempered glass top.
As mentioned already in the beginning, there’s support for HDMI eARC which allows for a single cable two-way audio transmission with your TV. The Bose Smart Soundbar 900 specifications include WiFi, Bluetooth, built-in voice control with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, and Bose Voice4Video which lets you quickly call up a video on-screen with your voice.
You can buy the Bose Smart Soundbar 900 from all Bose exclusive stores, offline retail chains Croma, Reliance & Vijay sales, and on Amazon, Flipkart is priced at ₹104900.
