It marks the first new release since theSonos Ace Headphonesin May and comes as Sonos continues to figure out its way out from under the debris thatwas its fail software updateearlier this year .
These also likely are thetwo devices that Sonos delayedin the wake of the computer software disaster . Both will be usable starting October 29 .
We ’re all well aware of what happen in the beginning this class , so get ’s take a look at what ’s new :
The Sonos Arc Ultra
The $ 999 Sonos Arc Ultra uses a 9.1.4 apparatus with spacial audio and a new transducer that Sonos calls Sound Motion , which “ drastically reduce the size of the transducer while supercharging the bass , afford a new chapter in sound innovation where bigger , better sound can be deliver from smaller products . ” So bigger sound in a smaller soundbar , with bass that Sonos says is twice unspoiled as that of the OG Arc at 50Hz . And you may tune thing using Sonos ’ TruePlay feature on both Io and Android .
The Arc Ultra has a new center distribution channel computer architecture that Sonos says will help with dialog . And if that ’s not enough , there ’s a new spoken language enhancement feature to let you localise the spirit level of clarity of the spoken tidings . Sonos read it worked with the like of Hollywood ’s Chris Jenkins and Onnalee Blank to fine - air the Arc Ultra sound profile for Dolby Atmos subject matter .
The Sonos interview
All the common feature are here as well , admit Bluetooth , tinge controls , documentation for Apple ’s AirPlay 2 , and a mike for vocalism control using Amazon Alexa or Sonos Voice Control .
drill down into the eyeglasses a niggling more , you ’ll find 15 family - calciferol amplifier . And the Sound Motion setup uses a four - motor , dual - tissue layer woofer . There are six midwoofers to handle the middle frequencies . And like the original Arc , the Arc Ultra supports Sonos ’ TV audio swap , if you have the Ace headphones .
The Arc Ultra sports 2 GB of RAM and 8 GB of nonvolatile memory . That ’s unlike thanwhat appeared in a premature news leak , and there ’s no “ Sonos television set ” operating system or anything mentioned about it .
The Sonos Sub 4
As the name implies , this is the 4th - generation subwoofer and it retails for $ 799 . The form will be intimate , but Sonos says it ’s been reconstruct “ inside and out . ” The sub ’s two 8 - inch woofers face inwards “ to create a force - canceling impression that neutralizes deformation . ” And it has new Wi - Fi radios for well connectivity . And that ’s practiced , because it only work wirelessly .
And for those who are disquieted about how much power a equipment is drawing when you ’re not in reality using it , Sonos says the Sub 4 suck 50 % less power when in loose mode .
you’re able to pair a couple of Sub 4s together for a ridiculous amount of bass . But if you already have an older Sonos Sub , you may pair off the Sub 4 with it , too — Sonos says it should sour just hunky-dory . It ’s also compatible with the Arc , both coevals of the Sonos Beam , the Ray , Sonos Five , and Sonos Era 100 and 300 verbaliser .
you could bear the Sub 4 to get all the way down to 25Hz .
This is still a hefty verbaliser — it matter just under 26 Cypriot pound , Sonos say .
