Sonos has announced Beam, a soundbar incorporating a HDMI ARC for the very first time, in addition to Siri voice control and AirPlay 2.
Designed to support multi-room audio around the home, Sonos is pitching its much-hyped offering as a “3-in-1” soundbar combining voice control, support for not one but all streaming services, and a compact size.
It’s reportedly 60% smaller than Sonos’ latest Playbar speaker, and 20% shorter too. Despite its small form factor, it incorporates four, custom-built “full-range” woofers, three passive radiators and a single tweeter.
