SONOS USER GUIDE
Sonos home theater
Sonos products for your TV provide full-theater sound and play music too. Create a home theater system by 
adding a pair of rear surrounds and a Sub.
• Arc and Arc SL: premium smart soundbar for TV, movies, music, gaming, and more. Place on furniture 
or wall mount.
• Beam and Beam (Gen 2): compact soundbar with voice control, perfect for small to medium-sized 
rooms. Place on furniture or wall mount.
• Playbase: widescreen sound and music streaming, created especially for TVs on stands or furniture. Low 
profile design practically disappears under your TV.
• Playbar: powerful soundbar, perfect for use above or below wall-mounted TVs, or lay it flat on a table or 
console.
• Amp: versatile amplifier for powering all your entertainment.
• Sub: add dramatically deeper bass to any Sonos speaker, for home theater and music.

It’s easy to turn two Sonos speakers (same model) or two of your favorite non-Sonos speakers (with Amp or 
Connect:Amp) into separate right and left channels for your home theater. Get more information
