Product Information
”For yet another year, Sonos' tiny soundbar delivers the goods.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2024 award-winner.
Sonos Beam made better
The Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is smarter on the inside and more beautiful on the outside. Inside, a powerful new processor facilitates support for Dolby Atmos. With non-Dolby Atmos material, enhanced virtual surround sound modes ensure that this is the most immersive sounding Sonos Beam yet. Subtle evolution of the design incorporates a new, perforated grille, highlighting the same sleek style and compact dimensions.
Powerful sound from a compact case
Although compact and unobtrusive, the Sonos Beam’s five internal speakers ensure it hits hard. Sonos speakers are renowned for their room-filling sound, and the Sonos Beam effortlessly upholds this tradition. From its deep, powerful bass to finely detailed top end, this Sonos soundbar doesn’t disappoint.
Support for cinematic Dolby Atmos
Use with Dolby Atmos-encoded content and enjoy a more spacious, immersive sound – just like at the cinema. Dolby Atmos creates an impression of height, letting you experience effects such as overhead aircraft and falling rain.
Upgrade to surround sound – effortlessly
Taking the Sonos Beam to the next level is easy with the Sonos family of speakers. When you’re ready for even more powerful bass and rear effect speakers, simply add the Sonos Sub and your choice of rear speakers. The speakers connect via wi-fi, for a speaker cable-free link. Use the Sonos app to find and link the speakers and, within minutes, you’re ready to enjoy totally enveloping surround sound.
Hear every word
Fine-tuned by Oscar-winning sound engineers, the Sonos Beam doesn’t miss a whisper of dialogue. When the action intensifies and you might otherwise struggle to hear the dialogue, simply turn on Speech Enhancement in the Sonos app.
Great sound – anytime of the day or night
The Sonos Beam doesn’t just sound good at cinematic levels, it’s just as impressive at lower volumes, too. When the kids have gone to bed or you don’t want to disturb the neighbours, simply switch to Night Sound. You’ll still get the same, perfectly balanced, crisp and clear sound, just without the same intensity.
The best with music
Much more than just a highly impressive soundbar, the Sonos Beam is a Sonos speaker and that means that it’s also made for music. The Sonos music streaming system is well established and widely regarded as one of the best in the business. If you don’t already have the Sonos app, the chances are that you’ll know someone who has. With easy connectivity to your favourite streaming services, plus Internet Radio and podcasts, there’s something for everyone. Not sure on what to listen to? Why not discover new music on Sonos Radio.
Optimal sound – with Trueplay
Whether you’re watching movies, gaming or listening to music, Sonos’s innovative Trueplay technology means you get optimal performance – in any room. Trueplay scans your room, analyses the results and then fine tunes the speaker for the ideal listening experience. Whether your room is large or small and the unit is placed close to a wall or in the centre, the Sonos Beam adapts to give the most natural and realistic sound possible.
Freedom of control
Choice is the keyword here. Use the Sonos app for effortless music streaming and personalised settings. Alternatively, the Sonos Beam is also compatible with Apple AirPlay 2 or hands-free, via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant voice control. For streamlined control, your existing TV remote syncs with the speaker for one-remote volume and channel change. No remote or smartphone to hand? Then simply use the touch sensitive controls on the speaker itself to adjust the volume, play/pause and mute the sound.
The Sonos family
With a range of speakers that now includes portable, installation and home cinema, Sonos is the number one choice for millions around the world. The brilliant Sonos app makes it easy to control your entire Sonos system – no matter how large and all-encompassing it becomes.
Upgrade your TV sound and music to premium-grade, with the Sonos Beam (Gen 2).
”For yet another year, the Sonos multi-room system remains the best all-rounder.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2023 Product of the Year.
The Sonos speaker for every application
Following on from the legendary Sonos One, the Sonos Era 100 continues with the handy size and class-leading music streaming control, but now offers even better sound and connectivity. Just like the One, the Sonos Era 100 suits a massive range of applications. From desktop, kitchen or bedside audio to stereo or even home cinema surround sound, the Sonos Era 100 makes the perfect choice.
All your music – in one place
The Sonos app is one of the most popular and well-loved out there. Bringing together your favourite music streaming services, via one easy to use app, makes Sonos ownership a pleasure. Compatible with Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora and the exclusive Sonos Radio, the Sonos Era 100 delivers near limitless streaming music.
Bluetooth - connectivity for all
New for the Sonos Era 100 is Bluetooth music connectivity. Ideal for when friends and family visit and you want quick and easy music sharing connectivity, Bluetooth is also handy for when your wi-fi may be down, or for when you want to take your music to a spot with no wi-fi coverage.
Apple AirPlay 2 for seamless streaming from your Apple device
Featuring AirPlay 2, you can stream directly from your Apple devices or ask Siri to play your favourites from Apple Music throughout your home.
Input your other music source
Purchase a Sonos Line-In Adapter (available separately) and connect your music source to the Sonos Era 100 via the USB-C interface. Ideal for plugging in a CD player, TV or pre-amp equipped turntable*, this connection makes the speaker a whole lot more versatile than before.
*turntable may require a separate phono pre-amp.
Single speaker, spacious sound
Featuring twin, angled tweeters and custom waveguides, you get a much wider spread of sound. Stereo separation is improved, getting closer to how it sounded when it was recorded in the studio. The wider spread of sound also means that more of the people in the room hear more of the music.
More power to your bass
With its 25% larger bass woofer (compared to Sonos One), the Sonos Era 100 digs deeper and goes louder. The extra bass is present at all volume levels meaning that, even at low volumes, you benefit from a full-bodied, richer sound.
Pair two for even more immersive sound
As good as a single Sonos Era 100 sounds, you’ll get even better results with two. Paired in stereo mode, the sound becomes much more enveloping, drawing you deeper into the music. With two speakers, you also get a better balanced sound in larger rooms.
Sound that’s tuned to perfection – Trueplay
For the best possible sound, in any environment, simply tap up Trueplay. Located within the Sonos app, Trueplay scans the surroundings, analyses the results and then fine-tunes the speaker for the ideal listening experience.
Touch for control
As we’ve not always got our smartphone to hand (when taking a phone call for example), the Sonos Era 100 offers intuitive touch control. Simply tap or swipe the top panel controls and play/pause the music, adjust the volume or group speakers.
Just the start of the Sonos experience
Sonos has swiftly becoming a market-leading brand in wireless multiroom music. By starting with a Sonos Era 100 you can build up a fully interconnected system that takes in all the rooms in your home, your home cinema system and even portable/outdoor music. What’s more, the award-winning Sonos app makes it dead easy to control and effortlessly lets you stream the music you like in the rooms you want.
Discover a new level of connectivity and premium sound quality, with the Sonos Era 100.
