Meet Sonos Beam, the most versatile smart speaker for the living room, delivering incredible sound for virtually any streaming content. Providing a simple, rich sound experience from movies and TV shows to music and podcasts, Beam supports 80+ music services, Amazon Alexa and Apple AirPlay 2.
Mod Audio PH launched a media event focusing closely on the Sonos sound system, Sonos Beam, and the future of smart homes with the voice assistance.
Like all Sonos speakers, Beam is part of the Sonos home sound system, meaning owners have the option of adding two Sonos Ones/Play:1s/Play:3s for surround sound, and a SUB to complete a 5.1 setup. Owners can also control Beam the way they choose, whether it be with voice assistance, the Sonos app, or with third-party apps like Spotify, Audible, Pandora and Tidal.
Out of the box, Beam comes with Amazon Alexa as its main platform. Beam will eventually support additional voice assistants (Apple Siri via Airplay 2 and Google Assistant currently running on beta testing) as they become available with just a firmware update away.
“In a smart speaker category increasingly filled with tech clutter, poor audio quality and ulterior motives, Beam is the best example yet of what makes Sonos different,” said Sonos CEO Patrick Spence. “Our open approach, obsession with design, focus on quality and commitment to building a system that’s easy to use and gets better over time are at the heart of everything we do. We believe we’ve created the best, most versatile, smart speaker in the world.”
Sonos Beam was tuned by a team of world-class acoustic engineers collaborating with leading sound experts from the worlds of film, music and television. The result is a product that faithfully represents the artists’ work and delivers an unparalleled listening experience. Beam produces a surprisingly wide soundstage for a speaker of this size, with four custom-built elliptical full-range woofers and three passive radiators delivering deep, warm bass and superior mid-range performance, while a single tweeter ensures crisp and clear dialogue.
