With a 7.1.2 channel configuration and up-firing drivers for true Dolby Atmos, it offers an impressive audio experience for movies and music. The Beam Ultra supports Dolby Atmos effectively, with striking tracking of characters and accurate height effects in various films. Its low-end sound is deep and responsive, handling high-octane action sequences and dark scores admirably.

The soundbar also boasts useful features like TruePlay sound optimization, manual audio adjustments, and compatibility with the Sonos ecosystem. While it doesn't have an HDMI input, the Beam Ultra's sleek design and solid build quality make it a worthwhile investment for those seeking a compact yet powerful Dolby Atmos soundbar.",
