DISC. Sonos Beam Wireless Soundbar Gen 2, Black

Full Description

Exceptional sound all around

Powered by five custom-designed speakers, the Sonos Beam Wireless Soundbar Gen 2 will fill your space from wall to wall with a perfectly balanced response that covers the entire frequency spectrum. Boasting a euphoric and exciting listening experience, the Sonos Beam delivers impressive clarity in the highs, making every word from your favourite film more articulate than ever. An extended low-end delivers a strong fundamental for your audio, whether that's playing back your favourite music with thumping bass or streaming your favourite game with out-of-this-world sound design, the Sonos Beam Wireless Soundbar Gen 2 will deliver the depth and punch to enhance your listening experience.

Dramatically realistic

Embedded with Dolby Atmos, you will be transported into what you see on the TV with an immersive listening experience. Driving a 3D soundscape into your room, you will be able to hear every detail and feel the emotion in each note all around you. The inclusion of Dolby Atmos excels in providing a stellar sense of depth and resolution, letting you pick out each sound with ease without ever sounding disjointed.

Please note: Requires a TV that supports Dolby Atmos and Atmos-encoded content.

Crystal clear dialogue

Tuned by Oscar-winning sound engineers, it has been brought together to feature a stunning mix of low-end power and smooth and articulate top end. The detailed tuning of the Beam creates a gentle U-shaped frequency response, which retains the natural timbre of the audio to carry weight without sounding lean. This clarity ensures that the dialogue in your favourite games, films or TV is brought to the forefront with immediacy and proximity without ever being fatiguing. For an even more detailed experience in the vocals, visit the Sonos app and switch on the Speech Enhancement.

High Quality, even at low volumes

Advanced audio processing ensures balanced sound from wall to wall at any volume level. When you want to watch TV but need to keep it down, turn on Night Sound in the app to reduce the intensity of loud effects and enhance quieter ones.

Breeze through setup

The excitement of bringing your new soundbar home can often be sullied by complicated setups and difficult to understand menus that diminish your elation. With Sonos Beam, go from unboxing to set up in a matter of minutes with only two cables using the step-by-step setup guide that can be found within the Sonos app. Spend less time adjusting, tuning and connecting and more time enjoying your favourite music, film and television.

Tuned to perfection

Ensuring that your room is optimised and calibrated for audio can involve an expensive assortment of acoustic treatments. Thankfully, Sonos Beam Wireless Soundbar Gen 2 features the innovative Trueplay tuning technology to adapt the sound of your speakers within your room by analysing the acoustic properties to ensure you hear the most balanced, exciting and accurate sounds possible.

Freedom of control

For contemporary households, the Sonos Beam offers a streamlined modern approach to control each and every aspect of your speaker. Connect via WiFi to the purpose-designed Sonos App to hook up all of your streaming services in one place and access additional features to enhance your listening experience such as Speech Enhancement. Hands-on control with the onboard buttons allows you to perform basic commands such as pause, volume adjustment and track skip. Your conventional TV remote will also function perfectly with Sonos Beam thanks to clever infrared integration, meaning you don't need any additional pieces of equipment or software to control your sound wirelessly. Additionally, the Sonos Beam is compatible with contemporary hands-free solutions with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to perform even the most advanced commands.

Better together

With WiFi integration, the Sonos Beam Wireless Soundbar presents the opportunity to upgrade and expand your system over time with further developments in wireless audio technology. Simply add additional speakers to create a customised array to perfectly fits your listening requirements in your room.
