Sonos Ray
The Sonos Ray is the entry point into the Sonos soundbar ecosystem. Small enough to sit under a 32″–55″ TV, it delivers a dramatic upgrade over built-in TV speakers with clear dialogue, wide stereo imaging, and the full Sonos app experience. It uses four Class-D amplifiers driving two tweeters and two midwoofers — the same audio DNA as its bigger siblings, in a compact package.
| Form Factor | Compact soundbar, 559 × 95 × 70 mm |
|---|---|
| Amplification | 4 × Class-D digital amplifiers |
| Drivers | 2 tweeters + 2 midwoofers |
| Audio Formats | PCM 2.0, Dolby Digital 5.1 |
| Connectivity | Optical in, Wi-Fi (2.4 / 5 GHz), AirPlay 2 |
| Voice Control | No built-in mic (Alexa via Sonos app) |
| Multi-room | Yes — full Sonos ecosystem pairing |
| Best For | Bedroom TVs, budget-conscious Sonos entry |
If you want to start your Sonos ecosystem without spending a fortune, the Ray is the right choice. Crisp dialogue and proper stereo separation beat any TV speaker. No HDMI eARC limits it to PCM/DD5.1 (no Atmos), but for everyday use it’s superb value.
Sonos Beam (Gen 2)
The Sonos Beam Gen 2 is arguably the best value soundbar in the Sonos lineup. It adds HDMI eARC (vs optical on the Ray), enabling Dolby Atmos passthrough from your TV. Five Class-D amps drive one tweeter, three woofers, and a passive radiator for surprisingly deep bass from a compact bar. Built-in Alexa and Google Assistant make it a smart home hub too.
| Form Factor | Mid soundbar, 651 × 69 × 87 mm |
|---|---|
| Amplification | 5 × Class-D digital amplifiers |
| Drivers | 1 tweeter, 3 woofers, 1 passive radiator |
| Audio Formats | Dolby Atmos, DTS, PCM 5.1 |
| Connectivity | HDMI eARC, Wi-Fi (2.4 / 5 GHz), AirPlay 2 |
| Voice Control | Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant (built-in) |
| Surrounds Support | Yes — add Era 100/300 wirelessly |
| Best For | Bedrooms, small living rooms, smart home users |
At ₹35,990, the Beam Gen 2 punches above its price. HDMI eARC + Dolby Atmos at this price is rare. If you have a 40″–65″ TV in a medium-sized room, start here. It’s expandable to full 5.1 surround by adding Era speakers + Sub.
Sonos Arc
The Sonos Arc is the company’s flagship premium soundbar — the one that first put Sonos on the home cinema map. Eleven Class-D amplifiers power eight elliptical woofers and three tweeters (including two upward-firing Atmos channels). It delivers genuine, wide-scale Dolby Atmos with height cues that bounce off your ceiling. Connect to any TV with HDMI eARC for a plug-and-play premium experience.
| Form Factor | Premium soundbar, 1141 × 87 × 115 mm |
|---|---|
| Amplification | 11 × Class-D digital amplifiers |
| Drivers | 8 elliptical woofers, 3 tweeters (2 upward-firing) |
| Audio Formats | Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, PCM |
| Connectivity | HDMI eARC, Wi-Fi (2.4 / 5 GHz), AirPlay 2 |
| Voice Control | Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant (built-in) |
| Surrounds Support | Yes — pair Era 300 for full Atmos surround |
| Best For | Living rooms 55″–85″, genuine Atmos immersion |
The Arc delivers a truly cinematic experience in a single bar. Two upward-firing drivers create real height audio — not simulated. If you watch a lot of Dolby Atmos content (Netflix, Apple TV+, Disney+), the Arc will transform your living room. Best paired with Era 300 surrounds and Sonos Sub for full 5.1.4 home cinema.
Sonos Arc Ultra
The Sonos Arc Ultra is Sonos’s most advanced soundbar — introducing the all-new Sound Motion technology, a patented breakthrough that extracts far deeper bass from the same slim chassis. Where the original Arc leaned on room reflections for bass, the Arc Ultra uses Sound Motion to produce clean, room-filling low frequencies without a Sub. Nine upward- and side-firing drivers generate precise, enveloping Dolby Atmos height and spatial audio that audio reviewers have called the best single-bar performance available today.
| Form Factor | Premium soundbar, 1143 × 88 × 115 mm |
|---|---|
| Key Innovation | Sound Motion patented bass technology |
| Drivers | 9 drivers — upward-firing, side-firing, centre |
| Audio Formats | Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD Atmos, DTS:X, PCM |
| Connectivity | HDMI eARC, Wi-Fi 6, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth 5.0 |
| Voice Control | Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant (built-in) |
| Sub Required? | No — Sound Motion provides deep bass standalone |
| Best For | Flagship home cinema, audiophile TV rooms, large spaces |
The Arc Ultra redefines what a soundbar can do. Sound Motion bass technology makes the separate Sub optional for most rooms (though you can still add one). Dolby Atmos height effects are the best we’ve heard from a bar. If budget allows, this is the definitive one-bar home cinema solution available in India.

Sonos Amp
The Sonos Amp is not a soundbar — it’s a 125W per channel stereo amplifier that brings any pair of passive speakers into the Sonos ecosystem. Connect your existing bookshelf or floor-standing speakers (or install new ceiling speakers) and stream from any source wirelessly. It also includes an HDMI ARC input, making it perfect for driving passive speakers for TV audio too. Architects and integrators use it for invisible whole-home audio behind in-wall and in-ceiling speakers.
| Power Output | 125W × 2 (8Ω), Class-D |
|---|---|
| Speaker Compatibility | 4–16Ω passive speakers |
| Connectivity | HDMI ARC, Ethernet, Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz), AirPlay 2 |
| Streaming | Sonos app, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, 100+ services |
| Sub Output | Dedicated subwoofer output (RCA) |
| Control | Sonos app, AirPlay 2, Alexa, Google Assistant |
| Dimensions | 217 × 217 × 64 mm (rack-mountable with bracket) |
| Best For | Passive speaker owners, custom install, whole-home audio |
If you already own quality passive speakers — or plan to install architectural speakers — the Sonos Amp is the cleanest way to add wireless streaming. 125W per channel drives virtually anything, and HDMI ARC means your TV audio goes through your main speakers too. An investment that makes any speaker smarter.
Sonos Line-In Adaptor
The Sonos Line-In Adaptor is a small accessory that adds a 3.5mm analogue input to Era 100 and Era 300 speakers — which dropped the physical line-in port to achieve their slim form factors. Connect a turntable, CD player, or any analogue source and stream it across your entire Sonos system wirelessly. Essential for vinyl lovers who want to blend analogue sources with Sonos multi-room audio.
| Compatible With | Sonos Era 100, Era 300 |
|---|---|
| Input | 3.5mm stereo analogue (line-level) |
| Connection to Speaker | USB-C (to Era 100/300) |
| Use Case | Turntable, CD player, any analogue source |
| Multi-room | Stream analogue input across all Sonos zones |
A small but vital accessory for Era 100/300 owners who want to connect analogue sources. If you have a turntable and Era speakers, this adaptor is essential. Great value at ₹2,800.
🏠 Building a Complete Sonos Home Cinema
Sonos products pair wirelessly — no extra wires between components. A popular India setup: Arc Ultra (front) + Era 300 × 2 (surrounds) + Sonos Sub = a true 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos system. For smaller rooms, Beam Gen 2 + Era 100 × 2 is a more affordable 5.1 configuration. The Sonos app manages everything — including grouping rooms for whole-home audio.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sonos available in India with warranty?
Yes. proaudiovideo.in is an authorised Sonos dealer in Mumbai. All products come with official Sonos India warranty and full after-sales support.
Can Sonos work without internet?
The Sonos app requires internet for initial setup and some streaming services. Once set up, local network streaming (from NAS, AirPlay from your phone) works without internet. Live streaming services require active internet.
Does Sonos Arc Ultra need a separate subwoofer?
No. The Arc Ultra’s Sound Motion technology delivers deep bass on its own, making the Sonos Sub optional (though recommended for dedicated home cinema setups). The original Arc benefits more from adding a Sub.
What’s the difference between Sonos Ray and Beam?

Do all Sonos products work together in multi-room?
Yes — that’s the core Sonos promise. All products on the current S2 platform group together wirelessly. Play the same audio in every room, or different content in different zones, all managed from the Sonos app.
