Sonos products are very popular, and now the company has pulled a new top-of-the-line audio projector out of the hat, which it has focused a lot on. The company is accustomed to selling its home audio systems in kits, and already offers the new Arc Ultra system in a number of different configurations. Among other things, the device can also be purchased with the new Sub 4 subwoofer.
Sonos has been working on bringing out the best audio projection devices possible for years, and as a result, many great products have already been created. Now the Arc Ultra has reached the top of the previous Arc models and its most important innovation is Sound Motion technology. The foundation for this was created by a company called Mayht, which was acquired by Sonos in 2022. With that being said, the Arc Ultra will be able to achieve a more immersive experience with an audio projector than ever before.
The company goes so far as to call Sound Motion technology one of the most important breakthroughs in audio technology in the last nearly 100 years. Thanks to this, according to the promise, the clarity, depth and balance of sound at the front of the audio projectors will be better than ever. The Sonos Arc Ultra will deliver brand new bass in its class thanks to Sound Motion, and the spatial audio experience promises to be unprecedented.
The fact that it features a 9.1.4-way chassis, which means it is equipped with different sound generators, will contribute greatly to the chassis' outstanding surround sound.
All 14 speakers are a unique development of Sonos engineers and are manufactured using the most advanced processes, see for example the current big innovation, Sound Motion technology. The contents shown on the TV screen will be brought to life by Arc Ultra in users' homes. A premium audio projector will accurately reproduce sounds in the space, a center will amplify conversations more clearly, and ceiling and side speakers will truly fill the space.
An audio projector can be handled in several ways. It comes with its own remote control, with which most functions can be operated instantly, basic functions can also be accessed through the touch buttons on it, there is also voice control, and the owner can really set anything on the product through the smartphone app . Settings can also be solved using Sonos software in the fastest and best way. The device app is available on Android and iOS platforms with Trueplay support.
The Sonos Arc Ultra can be powered through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections. The device has an Apple AirPlay 2 sharing option, which can be used with any supported Apple device, be it iPhone, iPad or Mac. The Arc Ultra supports Sonos Ace headphones, meaning it can automatically transmit audio to the wearable accessory when it detects that the user is switching devices. This way, going to the movies can continue smoothly even when the rest of the family goes to bed at night.
If you want to make sure you get the most out of the company's developments, you can purchase the Sonos Era 300 back speakers as well as the Arc Ultra, and you can also connect a Sonos Sub to the system. There's also something new about the subwoofer, as we already expected.
In the past, Sonos has produced many excellent speakers, and now the new member of the sub-product line has arrived, the Sub 4. This next-generation subwoofer will deliver bass that cuts through viewers, bringing movies and other content closer to the audience. The Sub 4 will provide a more accurate sound than its predecessors, with negligible distortion.
The body structure was changed inside and out, while the designers tried to retain “iconic” design features from the previous submodel. Sub 4 is already equipped with a new processing unit, and the Wi-Fi radio component has also been replaced, which will improve its connectivity, and the audio transmission will be more stable with wireless connection. The device will be able to achieve lower consumption, for example, in idle state, it will consume half the amount of energy as the previous device.
Sonos home theater systems will be complemented by the Sub 4. You can pair this with the Sonos Arc Ultra, but even the simpler Arc or Beam audio projectors can be a suitable companion. Furthermore, it is also possible to have two submarines working in one system, so the experience can be quite immersive.
The Sonos Arc Ultra will cost $1,000 net in the US, and the Sub 4 won't be much cheaper either, as the subwoofer itself will cost $800 net. The devices will also arrive in Hungary, where the audio projector can be purchased here for 415,000 HUF, and the subwoofer can be taken home for an additional 360,000 HUF. At home, the devices will hit store shelves on October 29.
