New Sonos Arc Soundbar with Dolby Atmos is now available in the market. I am super excited to write this article because one of my favorite audio manufacturers has just released and announced their newest soundbar. Sonos has been one of my favorite manufacturers for quite a while.
The new Sonos Arc Soundbar is priced at $800 and features 11 Class D Amplifiers, 8 Subwoofers, and 3 Tweeters. It delivers an awesome sound quality with wireless connectivity.
Sonos play bar changed the soundbar market because it was a little more expensive than most of the other stuff out there. It just blew everything out of the water; the sound quality was just amazing.
Sonos play bar is about seven years old now so they initially released it on February 12, 2013, so well over seven years now, so it’s time for a change now.
Back in 2018, they released the Sonos Beam, but that wasn’t a
replacement for the play bar because on the beam was $400 compared to the $700 that the play bar was, and then also the
Sonos Beam is a lot more compact. It was not meant to be a full form soundbar; it was meant to be a much more sleek and compact design.
New Sonos Arc Soundbar with Dolby Atmos
So the major difference between Sonos Arc and Sonos play bar is that Sonos art has Dolby Atmos. Sonos finally jump in and make a product that has Dolby Atmos compatible is just cool and awesome, so of course, with Dolby Atmos, we have upward-firing speakers.
Latest Design
So when you look at the design, it has 11 total drivers in it, two or three of which are firing upwards, you have some on the sides, that are firing outwards, that are trying to get the sound to the side of your ear.
So it sounds like it’s a surround sound environment or emulating surround sound environment, now with all of these drivers, there’ are 8 subwoofers, 3 tweeters, and of course, 11 Class D digital amplifiers. Tweeters enhance the sound quality and this soundbar features powerful sound.
Price
Sonos amplifiers are high-quality; this is probably one of the main reasons why that their soundbars are just so expensive it’s because they use high-quality amplifiers and the use of high-quality speaker drivers. It is coming in at $799, so that’s $100 more than both the play bar and play bass when they were released.
So $800 total, which is expensive for a soundbar but knowing Sonos this thing is going to be amazing.
