Sonos Arc Overview

Enhance your display's audio, interact with the Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, and expand your Sonos ecosystem with the white Sonos Arc Soundbar. It features an 11-driver design with dedicated up- and side-firing drivers that, along with Dolby Atmos compatibility, create an immersive 3D soundstage with your compatible TV and content. With Amazon Alexa and the Google Assistant built-in, you can voice control the Arc and enjoy all your favorite features of either virtual assistant. The Arc is also compatible with Siri when paired with your compatible iOS devices. The soundbar can be placed in front of your TV or mounted to the wall (with optional hardware), and Trueplay technology helps optimize the audio output to match its surroundings.

Note:
In order to enjoy the Dolby Atmos feature, your TV and content must be Dolby Atmos compatible. Please see the manufacturer's website for more information.
3D Sound with Dolby Atmos
Enjoy your TV shows, movies, and games with the immersive sound of Dolby Atmos. The Arc's upward-firing drivers help create a multidimensional soundstage that seems to move around you to provide added clarity, detail, and depth.
Five Phased-Array Channels
The Arc's processing creates five phased-array channels designed to deliver sound to your ears from all directions at the right moment.
Enhanced Trueplay Tuning Technology
This feature optimizes the sound for the unique acoustics of your room and calibrates the height channels for precise localization.
Immerse Yourself in Music
Stream music, radio, podcasts, and more from your favorite services via the Sonos app or Apple AirPlay 2 when the TV is off.
11-Driver Design
11 drivers, including elliptical drivers and angled side tweeters, help produce vivid detail and augmented bass.
Designed to Blend In
With its elongated shape and seamless facade, the Arc can discreetly mount to the wall with optional hardware or sit beneath the TV without drawing focus away from your content.
Automatic EQ Adjustment
A magnetic sensor detects when the Arc is mounted and adjusts the EQ to temper bass resonance.
Voice Control
The Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa are built-in, so you can play music, check news, set alarms, get your questions answered, and more, hands-free. With AirPlay 2, you can also ask Siri to play Apple Music.
Speech Enhancement
Turn on the Speech Enhancement feature in the app to clarify dialogue when characters talk quietly or action intensifies.
Expandable Design
Wirelessly connect a Sub and a pair of One SL speakers as rears for an even more immersive listening experience, or connect to other Sonos speakers around your home for multiroom listening.
HDMI eARC
The bandwidth of HDMI eARC supports multichannel audio and has lip-sync compensation built-in.
Ambient Light Sensor
The Arc detects how bright the room is and automatically adjusts the brightness of the LEDs to keep them visible but not distracting.
Designed for Simplified Setup
Bring your phone up to the Arc to automatically pair and securely transfer Wi-Fi credentials using NFC (near-field communication).
Capacitive Touch Controls
Play, pause, skip tracks, adjust the volume, and group rooms by tapping or swiping the top of the soundbar.
Automatic Remote Sync
The Arc connects to your TV's HDMI eARC port with a single cord to automatically sync with your remote.
Automatic Software Updates
Sonos can update the Arc with new features, services, and app compatibility as they become available.
Mute for Privacy
Turn the microphone off with a tap. The LED light is hardwired, and will also turn off so you know the voice assistant isn't listening.

You would need at least an Arc HDMI connection. The Q90R would have eArc if it is updated to the latest version.

How can I utilize full capabilities of the Sonos ...

How can I utilize full capabilities of the Sonos Arch without an eARC HDMI port on my "one connect" for Samsung UN65KS8500 TV? I purchased an Arcana adapter to bridge the gap and I can't get any support from them except via email that takes more than a day and it's one questions at a time.
Asked by: JAMES
The only available input on the Sonos Arc Soundbar (Black), B&H # SOARCG1B, is for an HDMI ARC/eARC connection. Without an HDMI connection, not all of the features will be available, such as CEC volume control.

How does Sonos Arc power compare to the 1000 Watts of the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra?
Asked by: harvey
Both are very good soundbars. If you're already into the Sonos ecosystem or want the simplicity of installation i would go with the Sonos. If space isn't an issue and are focused purely focused on movies, the Nakamicihi may be a good choice for you.

Do you know what firmware version that would be? I am currently on version 1356. Thank you.
Asked by: Vincent
Vincent, I have the 2019 Q70R which has Arc and the same software 1356, however my understanding is it will only have Atmos of streams that can offer them, like Netflix, Amazon Prime video. The Q70R/Q90R by itself can not process the atmos only as a pass through.

I have a 2020 LG OLED 65" CX TV. Is there a rack or spacer that permits placing the LG TV on its stand over the SONOS ARC?
Asked by: David
Thank you. I thought so. II plan to purchase a piece of plywood that's ~36" wide, 11" deep and and high as necessary to raise the 65" LG TV on its stand so that the bottom of the TV is higher than the top of the Sonos Arc, I'll sand, finish, and likely paint matte black. I was pong for some type of long metal U (on it's side) into whiich the sond bar would fit.
