Sonos Beam Gen. 2 Soundbar

Sonos Beam (Gen. 2) – Compact soundbar with impressive 3D sound

The Sonos Beam (Gen. 2) combines elegant design with powerful, precise, and room-filling sound. Whether movies, TV shows, games, or music – the compact soundbar delivers an immersive entertainment experience and blends harmoniously into any living space.

Thanks to Dolby Atmos and advanced sound processing, a virtual, three-dimensional soundstage is created, filling the room with impressive depth. At the same time, the Beam delivers crystal-clear dialogue. Speech enhancement can be activated via the Sonos app, while Night Mode reduces loud sound effects and makes quiet passages more audible.

For optimal sound reproduction, Trueplay™ technology adapts the sound to the room's acoustics. Control is convenient via the Sonos app, TV remote, voice commands, or the integrated touch controls. Thanks to Wi-Fi, Apple AirPlay 2, and HDMI eARC, the Beam integrates seamlessly into your home entertainment system.

The soundbar also proves versatile when listening to music: it streams content from numerous music services and reproduces music with rich detail and balance. Combined with other Sonos speakers, it creates a flexible multi-room system. For even greater depth and a more immersive home theater experience, a subwoofer and two surround speakers can be added.

Setup takes just a few minutes with only two cables and the step-by-step instructions in the Sonos app. Furthermore, the Beam, when used with the Sonos Ace, allows you to transmit TV audio to headphones, creating a personalized surround sound experience with 3D audio and dynamic head tracking.

With its precisely perforated front, compact design and versatile streaming and home cinema functions, the Sonos Beam (Gen. 2) is a compelling solution for high-quality sound in everyday life.
