This set combines Sonos Beam (Gen 2), a compact smart soundbar with Dolby Atmos support, and Sub Mini, a sealed wireless subwoofer built for small and medium rooms. Beam connects to the TV over HDMI eARC and handles dialogue and effects, while Sub Mini adds the low-end weight that a slim soundbar cannot produce on its own. Both come in matching white matte finishes.
It is a strong fit for living rooms, bedrooms and apartments with TVs up to about 65 inches, and for hotel suites, break rooms, conference spaces and small hospitality areas that want clear TV audio with real bass in a compact footprint.

Compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this set support Dolby Atmos?
Yes. Beam (Gen 2) decodes Dolby Atmos when connected to a TV's HDMI eARC port and playing Atmos content.
How does Sub Mini connect to Beam?
Sub Mini pairs wirelessly with Beam in the Sonos app. Press its join button during setup; only a power outlet is needed at the sub location.
Does it work with my TV remote and AirPlay?
Beam has an IR receiver and HDMI control so most TV remotes work, and it supports Apple AirPlay 2 from iOS 11.4 and later.
Can I add rear speakers later?
Yes. You can add two compatible Sonos speakers, such as Era 100, as wireless rear surrounds through the Sonos app.
