The Sonos Beam Ultra proves you don’t need a huge soundbar for Dolby Atmos

Sonos has introduced the Beam Ultra soundbar, a compact option ideal for those seeking Dolby Atmos without a large speaker. With nine custom drivers and two dedicated upward-firing drivers, the Beam Ultra delivers true 7.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos, significantly enhancing surround sound for movies and TV shows. The low-end audio has been improved, providing richer bass compared to previous models.

A redesigned center channel focuses on clear dialogue, and an AI-powered Speech Enhancement offers adjustable levels for better voice comprehension. The AI also introduces Night Sound for quieter late-night viewing and Trueplay to optimize sound for the specific room. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and HDMI eARC.

Surprisingly, the Beam Ultra maintains a smaller footprint than before, thanks to new compatible portable speakers that can function as rear surrounds. Priced at $699, the Beam Ultra offers a range of premium home theater features in a sleek and space-saving design.
