The Sonos Beam Ultra is a compact smart soundbar designed to give your television a more engaging and detailed sound presentation without taking up much space. Its 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos configuration uses dedicated upward-firing drivers alongside forward- and side-firing speakers to create a broader sense of sound around the listening position.
Dialogue is a particular focus. AI Speech Enhancement lets you adjust voice clarity through the Sonos app, while Night Sound reduces the intensity of louder sounds and brings quieter details forward when you are watching later in the evening.
Despite its compact proportions, the Beam Ultra can form the starting point for a larger Sonos system. You can add compatible Sonos speakers for surround sound or a subwoofer for additional low-frequency depth at a later stage.
The white finish and 750mm width make it a practical choice for customers looking to improve TV audio while keeping the soundbar relatively discreet.
The Beam Ultra is built around nine Class-D digital amplifiers, five tweeters and four low-profile woofers. The speaker arrangement is designed to handle high and mid-range frequencies clearly while producing the low frequencies needed for films, television and music.
For Dolby Atmos content, two upward-firing tweeters direct sound towards the ceiling to create a sense of height as well as width. This supports the 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos presentation, with compatible content and a suitable HDMI eARC connection required for Dolby Atmos formats that use eARC.
The soundbar also supports Dolby Atmos Music, allowing compatible music content to make use of its spatial audio capabilities.
Trueplay uses your room’s acoustics to fine-tune the EQ, helping the Beam Ultra adapt its sound to the space in which it is installed. Bass, treble and loudness can also be adjusted through the Sonos app.
For television viewing, AI Speech Enhancement provides four adjustable levels designed to make human voices easier to hear. This can be particularly useful when background action or music makes dialogue harder to follow.
Night Sound takes a different approach, reducing the intensity of loud sounds while making quieter details easier to hear. It is useful when you want to watch television without large changes in volume disturbing other people in the home.
Dolby Atmos adds a sense of height to compatible films, programmes and music. The Beam Ultra’s upward-firing drivers work alongside its other speaker drivers to create a more three-dimensional presentation than a conventional front-facing soundbar.
AI Speech Enhancement detects human voices and lets you adjust dialogue clarity through the Sonos app. With four levels to choose from, you can set the amount of speech enhancement to suit your preference and the programme you are watching.
Trueplay measures the acoustics of your room and adjusts the EQ accordingly. It is compatible with iOS and Android devices, helping the Beam Ultra take account of the space rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all sound setting.
The Beam Ultra connects to a compatible television through its HDMI eARC/ARC connection, with an HDMI cable supplied. HDMI eARC is required for certain supported high-bandwidth audio formats, including Dolby Atmos from Dolby TrueHD.
Wi-Fi 6 provides the network connection needed for the Sonos experience, while Bluetooth 5.3 allows audio streaming from compatible Bluetooth devices. Apple AirPlay 2 is also supported on compatible Apple devices.
Sonos Voice Control is supported, while the Sonos app provides access to sound settings, music and features such as Trueplay, Speech Enhancement and Night Sound. Capacitive touch controls on the soundbar provide another way to adjust volume, playback and other functions.
The Beam Ultra is designed to simplify the move from built-in television speakers to dedicated audio. Connect it to a compatible TV and the Sonos app guides you through setup, while your existing TV remote can be used to control the soundbar.
Its 65mm height makes it suitable for positioning beneath many televisions, while the 750mm width gives it a relatively compact footprint for a Dolby Atmos soundbar.
For evening viewing, Night Sound can reduce the impact of louder effects without making quieter details difficult to hear. Speech Enhancement is useful when dialogue is the priority, particularly during films, dramas and programmes where voices can otherwise be lost beneath music or effects.
Music is also part of the Beam Ultra’s role. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay 2 give you several ways to play compatible audio through the soundbar when you are not watching television.
The Beam Ultra is well suited to customers who want a significant step up from built-in TV speakers without moving straight to a separate multi-speaker home cinema system.
It is particularly suitable for:
The Beam Ultra combines a compact physical design with a speaker arrangement designed for Dolby Atmos sound. Its upward-firing drivers provide height effects, while side- and forward-firing drivers help broaden the soundstage.
It also gives you control over how the sound is presented. Trueplay can tune the sound to your room, Speech Enhancement can bring greater focus to dialogue and Night Sound can make late-night viewing less disruptive.
Another benefit is the ability to start with a single soundbar and expand later. Compatible Sonos speakers and a subwoofer can be added separately, allowing the system to grow rather than requiring you to purchase a complete setup from the outset.
The Beam Ultra connects to a compatible TV through HDMI eARC or ARC. It is not compatible with CCFL-backlit TVs manufactured between 2004 and 2012.
