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.

Amazing sound and the wife and kids love watching movies with rear speakers and sub mini. Feels like I am in a theater. Even watching sports on TV the sound is great. Very happy and recommend to anyone. Simple to connect.

I purchased the ARC sound bar and found it to be a big improvement over the Sony 75" TV speakers. I also went ahead with two SL1 rear speakers for the rear channels. After a few weeks I added the Gen 3 Sub and feel I have completed the sound system.

Great Sound, BUT!

We are so happy with our Sonos Arc. It has improved our TV and music enjoyment, made dialog SO much clearer, and eliminated a couple of remote controls, YAY! It was very easy to install. Came well packaged and protected. The app is easy, simple, and straightforward. I will say again, we are so happy we chose the Sonos Arc. (For reference, we are a senior couple in our 70's)

This soundbar restored domestic peace

We had a JBL that was challenging for at least one of us to hear conversation but GREAT and all the loud noises. For anyone in the house, the volume had to be loud enough in our open floorplan that it was often disruptive to others in any other room in the house. But even without needing to use the Night mode or the speech enhance features, the Sonos bar had changed our home dramatically. Anyone can watch something in the open living area, hearing it clearly, without disturbing anyone elsewhere in the house. Such a relief! It was also a snap to setup. After reading reviews and having had a hard time with other products I was worried it would be a pain. It was set up in a few minutes - creating the Sonos account was the longest part of the process even though it too went smoothly. Quality experience all the way through! The sound is fabulous for music as well. Best of everything!

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 Sonos Arc Soundbar connects to your television via HDMI. It would also connect to your wi-fi network, so that any audio that comes through the Sonos Arc can be shared wireless with your other Sonos components. In the same way; streamed audio that you play from your other Sonos sources like One Connect (or another Sonos speaker model) can be shared wireless with your Sonos Arc soundbar, without it having to be connected to an HDMI source. All of this would be controlled through the Sonos app.

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.

My LG 75sk8070PUA is a couple of years old but according to the specs it has ARC support via HDMI 2 and "Dolby Atmos." Does it sound like this TV will work with... and take advantage of... the Sonos Arc features? Thanks!
Asked by: Richard
Unfortunately the 75SK8070 doesn't have e-arc which is required for sending Atmos out over HDMI. However It can support Atmos over HDMI depending on your source and that largely depends on how the source encode the Atmos signals.
