And just because your TV has eARC or ARC doesn’t mean every one of its streaming apps that should carry Atmos actually will.
To get True HD Dolby Atmos, your TV needs to not only support eARC but also have pass-through functionality. Of course, your TV’s specs are important here. Currently, all streaming services use Dolby Digital+ for their Atmos soundtracks anyway, so eARC holds no advantage here, but it does enable higher bit rate Atmos sound to be passed from an external source, such as a 4K Blu-ray player or Xbox, through the TV and on to the Arc. A standard ARC connection can handle the former but not the latter. Atmos can be carried using either the Dolby Digital+ format or the higher quality Dolby True HD. It’s important to note that eARC isn’t essential for Dolby Atmos transmission. Sonos notes that there are now over 25 streaming apps that carry content in Dolby Atmos ( Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Apple TV, to name just four), so it's becoming increasingly widespread. In fact, unlike the original Beam and the Ray, the Arc supports eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), so it can handle higher-quality Dolby Atmos signals from TVs that can output them. An optical adapter is included for those with older TVs, but the intention is that you use HDMI and use the ARC (Audio Return Channel) functionality to get the sound from your TV to the Arc. FeaturesĪt the back of the Arc are the power socket, an ethernet connection for wired networking, and a single HDMI port. To the right are the microphone button and a single LED that indicates whether the Arc is listening for Alexa or Google Assistant voice commands. The touch-sensitive play/pause 'button' is integrated into the frame and flanked by two context-sensitive touch panels that you can use to control volume, if you use them at all. By default, these LEDs remain off most of the time and their brightness is tailored to the ambient light in the room even when they are lit (when adjusting volume, for example), so as not to appear too bright. The Arc's own status light consists of LEDs that shine through four holes above the subtle Sonos logo (fun fact: there are 76,000 holes in all the grilles combined). At least it could were it not for the integrated IR repeater, which is enabled by default and works flawlessly during testing. That's unlikely to be so high as to encroach on your TV's picture, but it could conceivably block the signals being sent to it by your remote control. The curvy design helps mask the Arc’s dimensions and makes it look svelte, but its height measurement of 8.5cm is not inconsiderable.
Each end also features a grille-covered driver. Once in position, most of what you can see of the Arc is a 273-degree grille that hides the array of front-mounted and up-firing speakers. The bespoke Sonos wall mount is a £69 / $79 / AU$99 optional extra but there are also now plenty of third-party Arc wall mounts available for less.

If you don't have a sideboard big enough to accommodate its sizeable width, the Arc can be wall-mounted, with onboard Trueplay tuning software automatically adjusting the speaker's frequency response accordingly.
