"Sonos is known for making high-quality audio products and the Beam (Gen 2) shows why the company is still the best in the soundbar business. TVs these days are getting thinner and more stylish but that slim design comes with a trade-off: the built-in speakers don't have enough room to make good sound. This makes a frustrating gap between beautiful 4K visuals and disappointing audio that ruins movies, shows, and music."
"The Beam has great hardware in a surprisingly small frame that won't take over your entertainment center. The speaker array has one center tweeter, four full-range woofers, and three passive radiators that work together to make 200 watts of total output power. Five Class-D digital amplifiers power the array. With this setup, the soundbar can handle frequencies as low as 50.4 Hz and gives it deep bass without needing a separate subwoofer for most people."
Sonos Beam (Gen 2) provides premium compact soundbar performance that compensates for thin TV speakers by adding cinematic audio and deep bass without a separate subwoofer for most listeners. The Beam's speaker array includes a center tweeter, four full-range woofers, and three passive radiators driven by five Class-D amplifiers for about 200 watts total output and response down to roughly 50.4 Hz. Dolby Atmos processing creates virtual height channels by bouncing sound from the ceiling. The Beam also functions as a music streamer over Wi-Fi with access to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and supports Trueplay room tuning via iPhone, Sonos app control, HDMI-ARC, and Apple AirPlay 2.
