What We Like About The Sonos Beam Gen 2

Compact design & easy setup

The Beam Gen 2 is wonderfully small at just 25.6″ wide, so it slides under most TVs without blocking the screen. Setup is refreshingly simple – one power cable and one HDMI to your TV, and you're ready to go. Built-in Ethernet and Wi-Fi give you flexible placement whether you prefer your media area to be wired or wireless.

Dolby Atmos for immersive, room-filling sound

Despite its size, the Beam creates a surprisingly wide, panoramic soundstage with Dolby Atmos processing. Height cues and effects feel more three-dimensional, drawing you into movies and shows.

Crystal-clear dialogue with helpful listening modes

Speech intelligibility is a Beam strong suit; voices stay crisp even during loud action scenes. Dialogue and Night modes help tailor the sound for late-night viewing or news binges.

Seamless streaming & smart control

Stream music, radio, podcasts, and audiobooks from virtually any major service directly in the Sonos app. Control is flexible: you can use your TV remote over HDMI-CEC, AirPlay 2, the Sonos app, or built-in voice control.

Trueplay tuning that adapts to your room

Sonos Trueplay analyzes your space and automatically adjusts EQ to suit your room's acoustics. The result is tighter bass, smoother mids, and more consistent sound from seat to seat. It's simple, fast, and delivers an audible upgrade in most living rooms.

Easy expansion & whole-home audio

You can stick with just the Beam or you could add a Sonos Sub (or Sub Mini) and rear speakers later for true surround. Multiroom support lets you setup different profiles in different rooms for different uses, which can all be controlled centrally. Growing the system is as easy as plugging in and tapping ‘Add Product' on the software.
