Since you'll hear sound effects coming at you from all angles, it'll seem as if you're actually in the movie you're watching.

If you add 2 One speakers as surround speakers, you can create a 5.1 home cinema setup. If you put several speakers in different spots throughout your home, you can play the same song in every room. You can control every speaker with the Sonos app for your smartphone or tablet. You can use WiFi to link the Playbar to other Sonos speakers. Position it in front of your TV, connect it to your TV with an optical cable, and enjoy the detailed sound reproduction of your favorite movies, series, and games. This soundbar features 9 integrated speakers. And, like the Beam, it has a single connection port (eARC or ARC), so installation is a breeze.The Sonos Playbar will make your TV audio sound rich and clear. It supports AirPlay 2, which is great news if you want to quickly stream music from your iPhone or iPad. It has a built-in four-microphone array and you can set it up so that it responds to Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant voice commands, this way you can adjust the TV volume without touching the remote or you treat it like a large Amazon Echo or Google Home speaker. Arc is as easy to control as Beam.ДЄrc is very similar to Beam in the way you can control it. The Playbar doesnвЂ™t support Atmos and thus canвЂ™t create a 3D immersive sound.

The upward-firing drivers allow Arc to create those virtual height channels and really create an immersive sound experience. These dedicated surrounds, plus the round perforated industrial design, allow Arc to have side-firing capabilities and thus create a much larger soundstage - this is true even when streaming music from your smartphone. The result is better high and low frequencies, and itвЂ™s going to sound really great the louder you play it.ДЄrc has five different speaker arrays (for left, center, right, left surround and right surround content), according to Davis, while the Playbar only has three arrays and lacks the surrounds. This helps with bass, but it also allows the soundbar to pack more drivers closer together, giving it more control over high frequencies as well. (The Beam has four full-range drivers.) As mentioned, Arc is a longer soundbar than Playbar. Arc has a total of 11 drivers, eight woofers and three tweeters, compared to the PlaybarвЂ™s nine, six woofers and three tweeters. Second, Arc is going to sound significantly better than Playbar when you play it high volumes. Arc is louder, and sounds better at loud volumes. They then used those learnings on Arc, only this time they had a longer soundbar (more surface area) and more woofers to play with.

SONOS PLAYBAR HOW TO

Sonos learned from Beam (released in 2018) how to squeeze as much bass as possible out of a small soundbar.

Basically, the more surface area of the transducer and the more itвЂ™s able to move, the more bass youвЂ™re able to get. Bass output requires a certain amount of volume displacement, which Davis explains is just the surface area of the transducer multiplied by how far it moves. вЂњIt was something we recognized in Playbar that for customers pushing the thing really loudly that the bass starts to be a little bit compromised,вЂќ said Davies. First, Arc is able to output much more bass.
