Sonos ARC Premium Smart Soundbar
Immersive audio experience
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.
Powerful and articulate response
Powered by 11 custom-designed speakers, each driven by their own premium Class-D digital amplifier, the Sonos ARC Premium Smart Soundbar delivers a room-filling sound that spans the entire frequency range. The inclusion of two dedicated height channels ensures that the ARC fires in all directions, filling your space with immersive and balanced audio.
Exceptional audio clarity
Developed in collaboration with Oscar-winning sound engineers, ARC is a culmination of decades of industry knowledge to get the best sound for your home cinema. Blending full-bodied lows with articulate and crisp highs, every detail of your favourite show are brought to life, bringing you closer than ever before. With specific attention paid to the vocal range, dialogue is brought to the forefront to be present without ever being fatigued. For additional clarity within the vocals, dive into the Sonos App and switch on the Speech Enhancement mode.
Less time setting up, more time listening
Your spirits will be kept high when bringing home your new Sonos ARC soundbar, thanks to a rapid setup time that only involves two cables to get up and running. Modern tech can often be accused of overly complicated setups that can dampen your excitement and enthusiasm, so ARC seeks to alleviate this by providing step-by-step instructions within the Sonos App to spend less time adjusting and more time listening to your favourite music and film.
Tuned to perfection
Creating the perfect listening environment for your home cinema typically will require an array of acoustic treatments to tune your room to your speakers. Thankfully, with Sonos ARC, the innovative onboard TruePlay software technology responds to the sound of the room and adapts the sound of your soundbar. By analysing the acoustic properties and acoustic response of your room, you can enjoy a balanced and pleasant listening experience, no matter where your ARC is located.
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.
Freedom of control
For contemporary households, the Sonos ARC 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 ARC 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 ARC 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 ARC 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. With the Sonos App, any additional Sonos speakers you add to your set-up can be controlled remotely and simultaneously for complete control over your system in the palm of your hand.

Sonos Era 300 Smart Speaker
Easy Sonos Setup
Sonos have gained a reputation for their easy-to-use, out-the-box wireless speakers. With only a power cable required for setup, you can go from unpacking to playing your favourites in minutes. All you need is a WiFi connection and the Sonos App. The setup guide will take you through the rest. Whether you’re using the Era 300 solo, paired or in a Sonos home cinema, Trueplay™ analyses and equalises to the acoustics of your listening environment.
Spatial Surround Sound
Evenly spread sound is the ultimate goal of the Sonos Era 300. A total of six transducers have been integrated into the body of the speaker. These include two woofers and four tweeters, intended to ably fulfil a rich frequency range. The unique bowed shape of the 300 accommodates this multidirectional array, with horns projecting the two side-firing and one upward-firing tweeter outputs around the room, efficiently supporting Dolby Atmos music and home cinema.
