Discover Sonos

Founded in 2002, Sonos began its journey under the guidance of experts in engineering and acoustics. Together, these audiophiles developed an audio system combining proprietary software, custom hardware, and wireless functionality to create an exceptional and unique auditory impression like no other brand before it.

Creating a Surround Sound System

A surround sound system in a configuration such as a 5.1.2 consists of five speakers, one subwoofer, and two in-ceiling or upward-firing Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers. Because of Sonos' innovative technology, audio lovers need fewer speakers to achieve the same listening experience. 

Sonos soundbars like the Arc are capable of reproducing the left, right, and center channels to do the work of three speakers! Next, add one or two Subs, the brand's subwoofer that provides powerful, impactful bass. Adding a subwoofer reduces the load on your soundbar, enabling it to deliver the crystal-clear mid and high ranges better.

For the final touch, add two rear speakers for total immersion from every direction. Some Sonos options include the Era 100, which can create a 7.1.4 virtual surround sound system, or the Era 300 which offers the ultimate Dolby Atmos experience

Technology in Overdrive

Some unique features a Sonos surround sound system offers include:

  • Speech Enhancement: Prioritizes the dialogue, so you hear every word, even during explosive, special-effect scenes. 
  • Night Sound: Reduces extremely loud sounds, which is helpful when the little ones are asleep.
  • Trueplay: Measures how sound reflects off objects throughout the room, then automatically fine-tunes the speakers to provide the best listening experience.

Integrating Spatial Audio

Spatial audio uses algorithms and specialized hardware to create a lifelike soundstage in your entertainment space. Using the latest technology, like Dolby Atmos, it treats sound as objects, placing it in 3D space and orienting it in the same manner that sound travels in real life. For example, a helicopter in a war movie will seem like it’s hovering overhead and footsteps seem to come from behind you! It's one of the most realistic auditory experiences available. 

Both the Sonos Era 300 and the Sonos Arc support spatial audio and can reflect sound off the ceiling. When listening to music, you'll feel like you're in the recording studio, and when watching a movie, you'll be transported into the scene on the screen.
