Smarter on the inside

A 40% faster chip pushes the sonic limits for a soundbar this size, creating two new audio paths for a virtual surround sound experience.

More beautiful on the outside

The new precisely perforated grille elevates the elegant design and blends seamlessly into your home, whether you place Beam on furniture or mount it.

Exceptional sound all around

Dolby Atmos maps sounds in space for a 3D effect so you experience planes as if they're flying overhead, hear footsteps moving across the room, and feel the score surround you.

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

Crystal clear dialogue

Oscar-winning sound engineers helped fine-tune Beam to make sure you hear every word and can always follow the story. For even greater clarity when characters whisper or the action intensifies, turn on Speech Enhancement in the Sonos app.

Made for music

Stream music, radio, audiobooks and podcasts from all your favorite services with detailed stereo sound that fills the room.

Breeze through setup

Go from unboxing to unbelievable sound in minutes with only two cables and step-by-step guidance from the Sonos app.

Tuned to perfection

Trueplay tuning technology adapts the sound for the unique acoustics of the room so your content always sounds just the way it should.
