Arc represents Sonos’ most immersive home theater experience.
With smart, adaptable, cinema-quality sound, support for Dolby
Atmos, and multiple voice assistants, Arc sets a new standard for
premium home theater sound.
Sonos (Nasdaq: SONO) today introduced Sonos Arc, the premium
smart soundbar that brings immersive, cinema-quality sound to homes
around the world. Arc builds on Sonos’ industry-leading innovations
in home theater, with software-driven audio that immerses listeners
in dramatic detail, crystal clear dialogue and impressive bass,
featuring support for Dolby Atmos®. More than a soundbar, Arc
brings brilliant sound to anything you can stream, tuned for what’s
playing from the TV to music, podcasts and radio when the TV is
off. Powered by Sonos’ new sound experience platform, Arc makes
powerful home theater easy with unrivaled choice in what to listen
to, how to control, with the option to expand the system. Arc is
available starting June 10 for $799. Customers can pre-order today
on sonos.com.
"Home has never played a more important role in our lives and
we've always been about making the home more enjoyable with great
sounding products and new experiences. Arc brings the sounds of our
favorite shows and artists to life like never before," said Patrick
Spence, Sonos CEO. "Our goal is to make any room you have a
television a place you can easily enjoy all of the great streaming
video and music that exists today. Arc illustrates our commitment
to brilliant sound and premium design, and sets a new standard for
soundbars."
Meet Sonos Arc
Award-winning shows and movies are being streamed in homes
around the world, now in even higher resolution sound. Today, more
than 25 video streaming services and TV providers are serving Dolby
Atmos content, making powerful home theater experiences more
accessible in the living room.
Sonos Arc is a premium, smart soundbar, delivering an ultra-wide
soundstage and impressive bass. Eleven high-performance drivers,
including two that are upward firing for 3D audio, produce dramatic
clarity, detail, and depth. Tuned in partnership with Oscar-winning
mixing engineers, Arc adjusts its sound profile through software,
based on the home theater set-up and what’s playing, whether
stereo, Dolby Audio 5.1, or Dolby Atmos.
Listeners can refine Arc’s sound in the Sonos app with features
including Speech Enhancement to further clarify vocals, Night Sound
to temper loud explosions, and an update to Sonos’ Trueplay tuning
technology, adjusting Arc’s acoustic profile based on the room,
accounting for horizontal and vertical sound that comes with
immersive sound.
Arc, available in matte black and matte white, features a
270-degree rounded plastic grille and a calm, seamless exterior for
multi-dimensional sound that elegantly fits within the home. Set
Arc in front of a standing TV or mount to the wall with a separate
custom designed wall mount. A simple connection through HDMI eARC
or ARC keeps set-up simple.
Built on Sonos’ next generation S2 software platform, control
Arc from the new Sonos app, an existing TV remote, Apple AirPlay 2,
and with voice using Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant.
While Arc delivers powerful, cinematic sound on its own, adding
Sonos Sub and a pair of One SL surrounds offers an even more
immersive experience. Arc replaces Playbar and Playbase in the
Sonos line-up and is available globally on June 10 for $799 on
sonos.com and through participating retailers.
More premium sound from Sonos: Sub (Gen 3) and Sonos
Five
Alongside Arc, Sonos introduces two updates for premium sound in
the home. Sonos Sub (Gen 3) and Sonos Five, replacing Play:5 (Gen
2), bring increased memory and faster processing power while
delivering the same great sound experiences customers have come to
know.
Sonos Sub has been a long-time favorite for added bass when
wirelessly connected to a Sonos speaker. Sonos speakers are
designed with great bass performance on their own - adding Sub
optimizes the lower frequencies for even richer and more dramatic
sound. The new Sub brings the same iconic design and bold bass,
available in both black and white for $699. Pre-order today on
Sonos.com or with participating retailers. General availability
starts June 10.
An update to Sonos’ most powerful speaker for music, Sonos Five
delivers the same great sound and acoustic architecture as Play:5.
True to its predecessor, Sonos Five fits in any space with
versatility. Use as a standalone speaker horizontally, or pair two
Fives in the upright position for incredibly detailed stereo
separation. A great choice for vinyl, use the line-in to connect to
a record player for playback on Sonos. An enduring design that
continues to fit perfectly into any space, Sonos Five is available
in black with a black grille and, for the first time, white with a
white grille. Pre-order today on Sonos.com or with participating
retailers for $499. General availability starts June 10.
Enabled by the new Sonos app
Starting June 8, Sonos customers will be able to download the
new Sonos app, delivering an upgraded software platform that will
power the next generation of products and experiences from Sonos,
including Arc, Five, and the third generation Sub. The three new
products will run exclusively on the new app.
This new generation app features support for higher resolution
audio technologies, evident with the Dolby Atmos experience on Arc,
as well as increased security and improved design for easier use.
User interface updates make it even simpler for customers to search
for content, control sound, and personalize the experience with new
features starting with saved room groups.
Customers will download the new app and easily transition their
system to the new platform. All favorites, services, and settings
will be saved.
