SONOS BEAM Wall Mount - Black

Product Information

Much like the Playbar and Playbase, you can connect two smaller Sonos speakers (One, Play:1, Play:3, Play:5, or even the Ikea Symfonisk Bookshelf or Symfonisk Lamp speakers) to act as rear speakers in a cinema system, or add a Sonos Sub. This product does not have any user-serviceable parts. Do not open or disassemble or attempt to repair it or replace any components. Refer all servicing to Sonos qualified service personnel.

On the subject of sound formats, it’s important to ensure all of your sources are sending Dolby Digital signals to your TV, and that the TV can accept and send them to the Beam natively. Depending on the devices involved, this can be a fiddly process, but it’s worth making the effort as Dolby Digital signals result in a far better performance. TV with HDMI ARC / eARC port or optical digital audio output, broadband internet, and the Sonos app.

It’s a shame there’s no HDMI 2.1 support, which would allow for 4K at 120Hz and even 8K at 60Hz pass through—which, in turn, would make the Beam ideal for 8K-supporting consoles like the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. And while the Beam is almost unbelievably spacious for its size, it doesn’t quite fool you into thinking you’re listening to a proper surround sound system. Effects stretch right across the front of the room, well beyond the dimensions of the screen but they don’t stretch up the sides of the room. Google Assistant: you’ll need the Sonos app and the Google Assistant app. You’ll make some changes in both apps during setup.

The Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is the perfect soundbar for smaller spaces

Located above the logo; displays the speaker's connection to WiFi, indicates when the volume is muted, and signals errors. As already mentioned, there's also no Dolby Atmos support here – for that you'll need to spend extra on the bigger, newer (and also brilliant) Sonos Arc. Sound If your TV doesn’t have an HDMI port, you can connect the Beam via the optical port; Sonos provides all the cables you need in the box. This is an affordable soundbar that most could find space for, and that will prove a transformative upgrade on the sound coming from a TV's own speakers. The presentation simply smashes expectations, particularly in terms of width, depth and three-dimensionality. Clean only with dry soft cloth. Household cleaners or solvents can damage the finish on your Sonos products.

While the general audio performance of the Beam (Gen 2) was impressive, we weren't fully convinced by the virtual Dolby Atmos. As vending machines propelled soda cans over the heads of the characters on screen, the sound did provide a sense of height, but we didn't get the feeling that it was coming from above our heads. It’s extremely high quality and well-engineered. I have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone who has a Sonos Beam.Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 29th November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.)

This means that, thanks to voice support on the Sonos Beam, you can turn on your TV and adjust the volume with voice commands. Clean only with dry soft cloth. Household cleaners or solvents can damage the finish on your Sonos components. This is a pure SCAM, with one software update, you Sonos turned my "Beam" into an expensive paperweight and forcing me to buy a product. What is the guaranty that the same will not happen again?
