It too is designed to be wall mounted as well as being at home on or in a TV-cabinet.īack to the Arc and, thanks to a rubber base, you can put it on flat surfaces but you also have the option of mounting the soundbar on your wall by using the screw holes that sit at the back. The Beam, like the Arc, comes in two color choices: white and black. Sonos states this is not only better for sound but is easier to clean.

And if you place the Beam under your TV, it shouldn’t affect your viewing experience.
The Beam 2, like the original, is a much smaller affair - measuring just 26 inches in width and 2.7 inches in height, so you shouldn’t struggle to find somewhere to place it in your home. It’s only really suitable for being placed under a large flat-screen television and will look strange in any other part of your house (although technically could be placed above your TV). The Arc is on the larger side at 45 x 4.5 x 3.4 inches. It sports a matte finish that comes in either black or white, and small circular acoustic perforations running the speaker's whole length. The Sonos Arc went live last year as the flagship Sonos soundbar, channeling and channels the sophisticated yet simple design language of Sonos speakers.
