Sonos Ray & Roam (Black)

A compact soundbar that’s designed to make the most of your TV, music and gaming, the Sonos Ray is an entertainment transformation.

The all-in-one soundbar
Compact, stylish and balanced-sounding, the Sonos Ray is the perfect way to enhance your TV, music and gaming experience. With class-leading sound quality and Sonos’ legendary ecosystem, the Sonos Ray is the ideal introduction to better sound all round.

Smooth, rich sound
A quick look at Sonos’ back catalogue and you’ll see there are few, if any, that can match the brand’s brilliance with sound. The Ray is no exception and has a full-bodied, rich sound that makes rivals sound tinny. For natural, lifelike sound, you can’t beat the Ray.

Crisp dialogue - with Speech Enhancement
Fine-tuned by Oscar-winning sound engineers, the Ray 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.

Upgrade to wireless surround sound
Taking the Ray to the next level is easy with the Sonos family of speakers. When you’re ready for more powerful bass and rear effect speakers, simply add the Sonos Sub and your choice of Sonos 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.

Freedom of control
Choice is the keyword here. Use the Sonos app for effortless music streaming and personalised settings. Alternatively, the Ray is also compatible with Apple AirPlay 2. 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 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.

Slick, compact design
The Ray is Sonos’ most compact soundbar to date and fits where others don’t. Narrow enough to fit between many TV’s feet and with a low profile that won’t block the screen, the Ray is your TV’s perfect match. For enhanced versatility, a wall-mount bracket is also available as a cost option. Simply choose between the iconic Sonos black and white finishes.

Class-leading Sonos sound
If you’ve already got Sonos equipment you already know just how good they sound. If you haven’t, then you’re in for a treat. Smooth, spacious and well-balanced, Sonos sounds just as good whether you’re listening to drum n’ bass, rock and pop or full-scale symphonic Classical music.

Optimised sound - automatically
Helping further to get the best sound, wherever you are, the Roam features revolutionary Trueplay technology. Trueplay scans the surroundings, analyses the results and then fine-tunes the speaker for the ideal listening experience. Whether you’re indoors or out, the Roam adapts to give the most natural and realistic sound possible.

Tough and durable – IP67 rated
IP67 rating means that the Roam is waterproof up to a metre, for 30 minutes. This makes it brilliant on the beach, at a pool party or for just singing in the rain. The drop-resistant construction is perfect for life on the move.

Voice control over wi-fi
When you’ve got the Roam connected via wi-fi, it also doubles as a voice-controlled speaker. Compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, you can play music, check news, set alarms and get your questions answered, all by simple voice command.

Control any way you want
Sonos Roam seamlessly syncs voice, app, and button commands, enabling you to manage music with a single word, tap of the app, or push of the button. Combine voice control with the Sonos app to manage all your music in one place.

Pair for stereo sound
Just like other Sonos models, the Sonos Roam can be paired up for stereo sound. Link two* using the Sonos app and you’ve instant, immersive stereo sound. *Note, pairing only works via wi-fi and so requires being within range of a wi-fi hub.
