The Beam is a smaller soundbar, the item you are describing is the Playbase which came out around the same time or maybe a bit after the original Playbar and it does not look like Sonos is updating this, i.e. that they are releasing a Sonos Base or whatever they would call it which then would have support for Dolby Atmos and digital assistants. In my opinion the devices to get right now are either the newly updated Beam or the Arc. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Simon A Fogarty Sent: October 26, 2021 3:43 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Soundbar app accessibility
I think the beam is like a base you can sit the tv on if it's not wall mounted, At least I think that's the one I looked at in a store here. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Wednesday, 27 October 2021 4:18 am To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Soundbar app accessibility If you have the space and can afford it definitely buy the Arc, it's an amazing soundbar. If space is at a premium or the Arc is simply too expensive go for the Beam, it was just updated so in terms of features it should be pretty equal and I am pretty sure it also supports Dolby Atmos, just smaller and sort of like the difference between a set of Sonos One and Sonos Five speakers, the Sonos Five will sound a lot better, but they are also much larger and quite a bit more expensive. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: October 26, 2021 8:00 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Soundbar app accessibility The Arc has 11 sound drivers, while the Beam has either 3 or 5. The Arc is about 45 inches long. I think the Beam is more than a foot shorter. I would recommend checking them out in person if you can. Video Only carries them but not knowing where you live or where they have stores, check around with your local stores that carry audio equipment.

Just go to https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sonos.com%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7C7a78b3ba3ff64973183308d9988348a1%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637708511900986302%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=b38zWHlZW6ZoUjzonJwdN2tgUtR553bCFT2s5KsOpJY%3D&reserved=0 and you can check it there, both the Beam and Arc are soundbars, but Sono sis also a lot more as you can use the app to play just about anything on earth. I have never seen another company which supports as many music services both paid and free ones and the Sonos app is extremely accessible and the sound quality of all their speakers is fantastic. Bot the Beam and Arc also support Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant although you still can't have both digital assistants active at the same time. Lastly, if you invest in a Sonos Beam or Arc and you later on want to add a set of Sonos One or other speakers in a different room you can always add to your Sonos system which will then allow you to play music in different rooms, you can group speakers and play the same or you can play different things in different rooms. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Melanie Clouser Sent: October 25, 2021 10:52 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Soundbar app accessibility Hello. I'm in the market for a soundbar. Can anyone tell me if the Bose app is accessible? I downloaded the app to test it out but it wants me to register with my device ... and I haven't yet bought a soundbar. I wanted to test out different apps before settling on a device.
