The sound of the movie changes drastically! Zenheiser "Ambeo SoundBar" review | Mynavi News Mynavi News Mynavi

Ambeo SoundBar

… However, it is a product that has already been released overseas, so many people may already know. Nevertheless, for those who were expecting the launch in Japan, it is a long -awaited product. Before the release on July 27, I was able to listen to it at a point, so let's introduce it immediately.

Ambeo SoundBar is an integrated speaker that can be installed under the TV, that is, under a TV, etc., as the name suggests. Recently, there is a demand for stay home, and it is a sound bar that is gaining popularity because I want to upgrade the viewing experience at home, but as mentioned above, speaker products are very rare because they are manufacturers with earphones and headphones as described above. In that sense, we are attracting attention.

If you imagine such an Ambeo Soundbar, so -called general sound bar, you will be assured to eat. It starts with an unparalleled price of about 360,000 yen (actual sales around 357,000 yen), and it is a super -class sound bar in all aspects, such as composition and functional aspects.

First, let's check from the exterior. At first glance, the first photo may look like an ordinary sound bar under a small monitor, but it is actually under the 60V monitor. Ambeo SoundBar is a non -standard size, about 130cm wide and about 18.5kg. Originally, he was concerned about sales because the sense of size did not fit the Japanese housing environment, but he received many inquiries and decided to introduce it. The enthusiasm of the domestic enthusiast is amazing ...

When the front grill is opened, the speaker unit is slurp. Woofer x 6, tweeter x 5, full -range speaker x 2 are equipped with a total of 13 speakers. As a result, it realizes the 5.1.4ch (5.1ch+ceiling 4ch) surround playback.

The corresponding input is also substantial, equipped with HDMI x 3, optical digital x 1, and analog RCA x 1. It also supports Bluetooth, wireless LAN, and Google Chromecast Built-in (audio only). In particular, it is quite rare for the sound bar to have three HDMI inputs, and you can feel the idea that is more like an AV amplifier. It makes sense to be able to connect other AV equipment together as the sound bar itself takes a large space, and it can be said that it is convenient.

The biggest feature is that you can enjoy a three -dimensional surround voice with one sound bar with "Ambeo 3D technology". In other words, there is no need to prepare many speakers like the conventional surround environment, so you can easily enjoy 3D audio.

To enjoy this 3D technology, you need to perform a room calibration first. By setting the attached microphone and measuring the shape of the room from the interior response, the distance to the wall and the position of the furniture will be recognized automatically. As a result, it will be played indoors to resonate the sound and build a 5.1.4ch listening environment optimized for the room where the Ambeo SoundBar is installed!

Ambeo SoundBar products. I introduced the overview, but after all, what I am worried about is that it is true (serious). Somehow, it's impossible to achieve a surround experience with one sound bar ...? In conclusion, such a shallow thought is broken into a wooden edge, but Blu-ray brought in anyway. To listen to sounds such as software.

First, I watched "Spider -Man: Homecoming" (audio format: Dolby Atmos). In the middle of the story, in the scene where Spider -Man confront the variety on the ferry, the power of Spider -Man and Valcure flying endlessly. A certain action scene is brilliantly expressed, and the voice is unintentionally speaking. In the scene where bullets, lasers, and variety of bullets, lasers, and variety fly away, it feels like passing by overhead. It is extremely three -dimensional. I didn't get rid of the word, but I looked back, "Well, did you put the speaker behind?"

The bass such as the explosion sound is also powerful, and the back of the Ambeo SoundBar has a subwoofer output terminal, but it is a powerful feeling that is not necessary at all. I was twisted down by a tremendous performance from the first shot. That's amazing, Ambeo ...

Then, how about anime!? So, then watch "Weather Child" (audio format: DTS-HD MasterAudio 5.1ch). In the scene of starting a part -time job for a sunny woman ("celebration"), the difference in the air on a rainy day and the difference in the sound of the sound of the angle is clearly drawn, so maybe it's really raining? Completion that makes the illusion. The songs also sound spaciously, and they blend in without any discomfort with the three -dimensional SE (sound effect).

I was going to listen to the songs of "Weather Child" on a high -resolution board, etc., but when I listened again in the surround environment, the unique sense of music spreads around. It was like this ... "

In the scene where the hoito heads up the sky ("Grand Escape"), the sound of the raindrops and the chorus in the song, the part where the chorus enters in the song, the part where the chorus rises at a stretch is different. You can enjoy a wide, elaborate and magnificent scale. Not only the power in a flashy scene, but also the detailed description power that can listen to the sound of a small SE carefully, does not feel that the sound is flowing only from the sound bar on the front ... I forgot to be there, and I was able to immerse yourself in the work in a space wrapped in sound.

Then I also watched "THE IDOLM@STER MOVIE Beyond the Bright!" The last live scene, which was claimed to be "5 minutes and 30 seconds," is a masterpiece. It is a realistic feeling that reminds me of the days I went to the live venue from the venue before the performance (I laughed as if it were realistic to this point).

Of course, the realism after the song started is the live itself, and the three -dimensional effect of the stage sound and the spread of cheers and clapping are also different. The spacious sound of the arena was reproduced, and it was as good as a little live viewing (to show concerts in a movie theater). I couldn't try it because I didn't bring it this time, but I think you can definitely enjoy the actual music live video.

In the Ambeo 3D sound, the sound settings can be selected from presets such as "Movie" and "Music". When I watched it while switching in the scene where the songs flowed, it was a "movie" that emphasized three -dimensional sensitivity, and "music" was an impression that each sound was more fixed. If you want to enjoy the realistic regeneration of surround!

By the way, the 3D sound of the Ambeo itself is also turned off, but the difference between on/off is tremendous, and when it is off, the sound quality is good, "Oh, play from the sound bar in front of you. The sound field feeling will be narrowed as you can clearly understand that it is. As far as I tried this time, I felt that it was good to always turn it on to enjoy content normally.

These settings can be set with a smartphone application, and in addition to presets, you can adjust the equalizer, switch the source, and check the codec, so it can be handled easily while having a complex speaker configuration. It can be said that it is also attractive.

Speaking of "3D audio" recently, I am still worried about Sony's "360 Reality Audio" (360RA). Ambeo SoundBar is compatible with Chromecast Built-in, which can play music such as Nugs.net and Deezer by streaming from compatible models such as Xperia.

This is also a great benefit from the surround, and although it is not as powerful as a movie, it seems that it can be understood how far the instrument is, and it is clear that stereo regeneration is clear. I enjoyed a different three -dimensional music experience. 360 Reality Audio can be experienced with general earphones and headphones, but if you enjoy the content of the content, it may be worth listening to the environment in this way.

Honestly, before experiencing Ambeo SoundBar, I was hooking a hawk saying, "Well, it would sound three -dimensional for a sound bar," but it was a big mistake. I was convinced. Above all, thanks to the room calibration, it is a great point that you can enjoy it with perfect sound even if it is not a specially prepared room. This view was performed in a space like a conference room that was unusual, but it was a finish that I forgot.

It is quite large as a sound bar, but considering 13 speakers and AV amplifiers, it may be rather compact. When I told the person in charge of Zenheiser, I was told, "It's because of my mind. It's big." If you have a space that can be installed, please consider it.
