"Placement of Era 300 drivers on the front, sides and top projects sound in multiple directions at once. This configuration serves as the sonic environment Dolby Atmos content needs to operate. Instruments and vocals are placed in locations around your listening space. You hear guitar riffs coming from your left, vocals centered in front, and ambient effects floating overhead. Custom waveguides tailor the sound dispersion of each driver to make sure you get audio coming from the correct right, left, forward, and above positions."
"The waveguides serve as acoustic lenses, focusing sound with directional control. You get a wide stereo soundstage that immerses the whole room, instead of a narrow sweet spot where everything sounds good. You can walk around the room without killing the effect, unlike what happens with traditional stereo speakers that only sound right when you're seated perfectly centered. Dolby Atmos Music leverages these spatial capabilities when you stream compatible content from services like Apple Music and Amazon Music."
Sonos Era 300 uses six drivers arranged on the front, sides, and top to create spatial, wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling sound projection that supports Dolby Atmos Music. Custom waveguides act as acoustic lenses to focus dispersion so audio arrives from precise right, left, forward, and above positions, producing a wide stereo soundstage instead of a narrow sweet spot. Spatial mixes place instruments and vocals around the room so elements separate and move independently. Compatible streaming services deliver Atmos mixes that reveal greater detail and separation. The speaker recently reached an all-time low price of $379 for Black Friday.
