Stream music, radio, audiobooks, and podcasts from all your favorite services with detailed stereo sound that fills the room.

Dolby Atmos maps sounds in space for a 3D effect, so you experience planes as if they're flying overhead, hear footsteps moving across the room, and feel the score all around you (when used with a TV that supports Dolby Atmos and Atmos-encoded content).

Go from unboxing to unbelievable sound in minutes, with only two cables and step-by-step guidance from the Sonos app.

Oscar-winning sound engineers helped fine-tune the soundbar to make sure you hear every word and can always follow the story. For even greater clarity when characters whisper or the action intensifies, turn on Speech Enhancement in the Sonos app.

Trueplay tuning technology uses your iOS device to adapt the sound for the unique acoustics of your room so your content always sounds just the way it should.

Advanced audio processing ensures balanced sound from wall to wall at any volume level. When you want to watch TV but need to keep it down, turn on Night Sound in the app to reduce the intensity of loud effects and enhance quieter ones.

Ask Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant to set timers, check the news, control your smart home devices, and more; while streaming via AirPlay 2, you can use Siri on your iOS device to control Apple Music. Easily mute with the press of a button to off the mic. The LED light will also turn off so you know your voice assistant isn't listening.

Get an even more immersive experience with a subwoofer and rear speakers. Everything connects quickly and easily over Wi-Fi. Mix and match speakers to build the system you want over time. Simply add on when you're ready and enjoy listening all around your home and beyond. A matching pair of the Sonos One (including SL), Sonos Five, PLAY:1, PLAY:3, and PLAY:5 (Gen 2), or in-wall, in-ceiling, or other passive speakers powered by the Sonos Amp can be set up as surrounds. All generations of the Sonos Sub will work with the 2nd gen Beam.

A: The Sonos Amp 250W Stereo Power Amplifier will work directly with a turntable that has a built in phono preamp. If the turntable does not have a built in phono preamp then you will need a phono preamp between the turntable and the Sonos Amp, like BH #BEVP549 or B&H # ROVP29 for example.

Q: 2. "Adjustable bass and treble controls let you adjust your sound performance. Volume can be adjusted". These words are right from the description. But I don't see these controls on the device. How do I do these adjustments?

Q: 3. 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.
