Description
Compact Atmos, full Sonos
The Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is the natural starting point for Sonos home cinema. It’s 651mm wide. It fits cleanly under a TV from 43″ upwards. Five drivers handle dialogue, mid-range and Dolby Atmos height effects via virtual processing.
What it does
The Beam connects to your TV via HDMI eARC. It takes the TV’s full audio stream and plays it back through five Class-D-amplified drivers. The dialogue clarity is the headline strength: voices stay clear when action ramps up. Atmos height effects are virtualised (no upfiring drivers on the Beam) — the effect is real but not as physical as the Arc Ultra.
Where it fits
The Beam Gen 2 is the right pick for a typical UK living room with a TV under 65″. Pair with a Sub Mini for proper low-end. Add two Era 100s as wireless rear surrounds for a true 5.1 setup. We covered the wider Sonos vs Bluesound comparison in our Bluesound vs Sonos custom installer view.
