Sonos Arc Ultra Said to deliver louder, better sound in a more compact product, the Sonos Arc Ultra delivers twice the sound of previous models, and features a cutting-edge design that delivers unprecedented 9.1.4 space. “Achieve an audio experience. .''

In addition to the Sound Motion's built-in amplifier, it also has a tweeter with waveguides on both ends. Equipped with 14 drivers designed by Sonos for a 9.1.4 spatial audio experience.

Sonos Arc Ultra has a new center channel structure that clearly reproduces human voices. Hearing conversations is now easier. It also has a speech enhancement feature that lets you choose how clear your voice is in the Sonos app.

We worked with veteran film producers and creatives, including Chris Jenkins and Onalee Blank, to set up the Sonos Arc Ultra to play Dolby Atmos content. It is said to provide a studio-like experience compared to professional audio systems.

With its unique rounded sides, matte finish, and slimmer body, it looks sleek when mounted on the wall, and doesn't obstruct the view when placed on top of a cabinet.

The wrap-around grille wraps around the back of the speaker, radiating sound from all angles and completely enveloping the listener.

Applications have also evolved. The software has been updated to coincide with the release of the Sonos Arc Ultra and Sonos Sub 4. “It outperforms the previous app in several ways, including system selection, new product configuration, and the ability to connect Sonos products.”

Compatible with HDMI eARC connection. It can be operated using the TV remote, the Sonos app, Sonos voice control (Japanese language not available), or Amazon Alexa. The touch controls are hidden behind the speaker so as not to be visually annoying.

There's also a Bluetooth line input so you can listen to podcasts or make a playlist before your guests arrive.

A next-generation subwoofer that “transforms your home theater experience, delivering rich sound that draws you deeper into your favorite content.”

It is equipped with two dedicated speakers, and by placing the two speakers facing each other, force cancellation is performed to cut off unnecessary vibrations.

Processing power and memory are also improved. It also features a new Wi-Fi radio that improves connectivity, allowing you to enjoy uninterrupted bass sound.

While maintaining the same body-like shape as the previous model, the black and white colors have been updated to a matte finish. It can be installed vertically or horizontally and is designed to be placed under a sofa.

The Sonos Sub 4 can be paired with the Sonos Arc Ultra, Sonos Arc, and Sonos Beam, and by using the two speakers together, you can enjoy powerful deep bass for any production or song. The Sonos Sub 4 is also compatible with the traditional “Sonos Sub” subwoofer.
