The North American firm has seen an important vein in sound bars, an example has been the Sonos Beam that has given such good results. That is why Sonos has decided to launch Arc, a sound bar that comes to replace the Playbar as well as the Five and the Sub, know all the new Sonos products with us, And stay tuned, we'll have in-depth analysis soon.
Sonos Arc - The True Soundbar
As we have said, the Sonos Arc comes to replace the Sonos Playbar, the soundbar with multiple connections that Sonos offered up to now, and despite the fact that the Sonos Beam also serves as a sound bar, it is more designed for the multimedia playback, it is larger and does not have as many connections as the Playbar. In his case the first change is the enormous minimalist redesign that he has undergone, Sonos Arc now embraces the grid design of the latest generation of products like the Sonos Move and Sonos One. As always, we'll have it in black and white.
In terms of sound, we are going to have eleven “D” class digital amplifiers, eight elliptical woofers and three tweeters with a specific design. In addition, to constantly analyze the sound we will have four strategically placed microphones, so you can improve the experience through the well-known Trueplay calibration system. Obviously we will have "Night Mode" and an adjustable equalizer through the application, which by the way will be updated to renew the operating system of the latest generation Sonos devices, with among many other things an important redesign. Definitely on a technical level this Sonos Arc points ways.

As for connectivity, we will have an Ethernet port of up to 100 Mbps with an RJ45 connection, 2,4 GHz WiFi connection and, as previously, connectivity through Apple's AirPlay 2 protocol. We will also have an IR receiver which will allow us to synchronize it with our BroadLink or remote control. Obviously this Sonos Arc has an adapter for optical input and also an HDMI. The eARC technology of this Sonos Arc will allow us to directly control the television and obviously we have compatibility with HomeKit, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. But we do not want to leave the most important thing, this device will be compatible with Dolby Atmos to offer a realistic 3D sound.
Sonos Sub - The Perfect Company
The Sub is an accompaniment product that, although it is not designed for all audiences, is the perfect accompaniment for those who have the possibilities at the level of space and sound. The Sonos Sub is essentially a "subwoofer" of a considerable size that takes advantage of the characteristics of the brand and thus accompanies the range of products that we may have in a room. This Sonos Sub also adopts a slight redesign and will be offered in two colors, black and white.
In terms of sound, we have two class "D" digital amplifiers, two cancellation drives to improve the quality of the sound produced, and also a double acoustic port. As for the frequency, Sonos promises that it reaches 25Hz which is a very important fact to take into account on a technical level. and at the level of sound quality that it is capable of offering. As for the rest of the features, we will have the same capabilities as the rest of Sonos products at the Trueplay level and everything that the Sonos application is capable of doing.

It will be available from next June 10 in a good list of countries including Spain, Germany, France and all of Latin America where Sonos has a presence. This Sonos Sub is a technically secondary product because Sonos products generally offer quite powerful bass, but without a doubt, when we want a total experience, a subwoofer necessarily accompanies any audio equipment.
Sonos Five - The Right Formula
We move on to the largest and most powerful of Sonos products, the Five. This giant has also received a slight redesign, designed to marry perfectly with the rest of Sonos products in terms of grilles, an example is that now the Five has a white grille also in its white model. Definitely the redesign of the new Sonos Five is the lightest of all, but it does house changes in the processor and in various sections of the hardware, undoubtedly interesting in all aspects.
This Sonos Five features six Class "D" digital amplifiers accompanied by three tweeters and three midwoofers. As we have said, we will have a 3,5mm Jack connection in addition to the rest of the functionalities such as TruePlay. We also have the classic touch controls on the top and compatibility with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant as well as AirPlay 2 and Apple HomeKit, it is definitely one of the most complete products that Sonos has in its catalog in terms of power, sound quality and fully adjustable equalization.
We will also have the product available on June 10, 2020 from € 579, the cheapest of the three products presented but undoubtedly one of the most essential.
