The one area we did have some issues was integrating our smart assistant into the Sonos Arc. It’s a bit of an inconvenience, but on balance it’s probably simpler than having to store a dedicated tuning microphone somewhere memorable after setup.

This is a big inconvenience for non-Apple users and Sonos says that the diversity in Android hardware means it isn’t planning on developing it anytime soon.įortunately, you can borrow an iOS device to run the calibration in the soundbar’s final location and it’ll remain true as long as you keep things in vaguely the same place. There is one pretty considerable hitch, however: Trueplay is only compatible with iOS devices. Trueplay is Sonos’ proprietary adaptive soundscape tool which analyzes the shape of a room in order to best balance the sound output for everyone in it. It’s the feature that really distinguishes the Arc from your average soundbar.

We got a feel for how capable Sonos was in this department when it released its Move portable speaker which was able to compensate for acoustic environments as hostile as being covered by pillows. There is one last task you’ll want to perform before firing up your favourite high definition audio, however: Trueplay Tuning. Other than this there’s not much else to the setup, it’s a relatively painless process (especially if you already have a Sonos account).

Then, you'll need to follow a couple of prompts to connect the TV to Wi-Fi, any audio streaming or internet radio services you may already be signed up to, and your choice of Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

After the initial plug in, you’re asked to download the app from the App store or Google Play Store (if you don’t already have it). Much like everything else with the Arc, the setup process is designed to be as simple as possible, all done through the new Sonos S2 smartphone app. The setup process is designed to be as simple as possible, all done through the Sonos S2 smartphone app.
The Arc has been designed to sit on the tabletop beneath your TV, but you can also mount it below a screen using the Sonos Arc compatible wall mount ($79 / £79 / AU$99). Of course, if that takes up too much space, you can always snag a Sonos Beam (Gen 2) for a significantly lower price or wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday to save some money. While this Atmos-enabled speaker is perfectly capable on its own, you can also add the Sonos Sub (Gen 3) for $749 / £749 / AU$1099 for a bit of extra bass, or a pair of One SLs for rear left and right surround sound which will set you back $199 / £179 / AU$289 each. These speakers have also increased in price since their launch, which can really hurt if you planned on buying them one piece at a time. However, after Sonos announced a nearly product-wide price hike, it now costs $899 / £899 / AU$1,499. The Sonos Arc soundbar launched globally on Jand cost $799 / £799 / AU$1,399 as a standalone unit.
