Getting started
The correct placement and setup of the AMBEO Soundbar is important for an optimum sound experience. You can place the AMBEO Soundbar on a piece of furniture (> Placing the Soundbar on the device feet and positioning it) or mount it directly to a wall using the wall mount (optional accessory) (> Mounting the Soundbar to a wall).
2.Connecting a TV and/or audio devices
Connect your TV to the Soundbar. You can also connect other audio/video devices (> Connecting an audio/video device (AMBEO Soundbar | Plus only)) or play wireless audio via Bluetooth or WiFi/Ethernet (> Using the Soundbar).
3.Connecting to the power supply system
Connect the AMBEO Soundbar to the power supply system – the AMBEO Soundbar comes to life and guides you through the initial switch-on process via the Sennheiser Smart Control app (> Getting started).
4.Setting up an optional AMBEO Sub and connecting to the power supply system
You can optionally extend the bass performance of the AMBEO Soundbar with up to 4 wirelessly connected AMBEO Subs. Place the subwoofer(s) in the same room as the Soundbar (> Setting up the Soundbar and a Sub) and connect the AMBEO Sub(s) to the power supply system (> Connecting a subwoofer (optional)).
5.Installing the Sennheiser Smart Control app on your smartphone and establishing a WiFi connection
The Sennheiser Smart Control app allows you to use all the functions and settings of the AMBEO Soundbar and further guides you through setup process such as WiFi, name of the Soundbar, connection of the AMBEO Subs (optional) and room calibration.

6.Starting the room calibration
For an optimum spatial sound experience, the AMBEO Soundbar together with the optional AMBEO Subs must perform a room calibration. The calibration takes only a few minutes and leads to the best possible 3D spatial sound (> Starting the room calibration).
Configuring an optional assistant such as Amazon Alexa or Ok Google
You can optionally configure the Soundbar to use the Amazon Alexa or Ok Google voice assistants. The Smart Control app will guide you through the setup process (Internet connection and user account required, availability of Amazon Alexa, Alexa Cast and Ok Google and Chromecast is region-dependent).
Amazon Alexa is integrated into the Soundbar as a built-in and can be used with all its functions. It is controlled via the Soundbar’s microphones.
For the use of the Google voice assistant, a smart device is additionally required for control, which puts the voice commands into actions (control is not via the Soundbar’s microphones). The Soundbar can then be used as a loudspeaker in combination with a smartphone, for example.
