Sonos Arc Ultra and Sub 4 specs

The Sonos Arc Ultra is the company’s latest premium soundbar. It gets a new acoustic architecture that takes advantage of 14 built-in speakers to deliver surround sound. The speaker array consists of seven tweeters, six mid-woofers and a Sound Motion woofer, the latter being a new introduction. The company claims that its Arc Ultra can emit a more balanced sound with improved bass than previous models despite its slimmer design.

Without the need for additional speakers, the Sonos Arc Ultra can display a 9.1.4 Dolby Atmos experience, including nine ear-level channels, one subwoofer and four height channels. It has a Smart Tuning feature that measures how sound bounces off different objects in the room and adjusts the sound. Meanwhile, existing speech enhancement now gets more levels of control.

Sonos claims that its new soundbar consumes 20 percent less energy than the previous model when idle.

On the other hand, the new Sonos Sub 4 is equipped with a more powerful CPU, which helps it communicate more efficiently with other devices in a home theater setup, according to the company. It also gets a fresh coat of paint with a new matte finish.
