- Does this set give true surround sound?
- No. It is a 5.1-channel bar-and-sub set with no rear speakers, so sound stays mostly up front. Adding Sonos rear speakers later gets you closer to surround.
- Can I add rear speakers later?
- Yes. The Beam works with Sonos surround speakers such as the Era 100 or One as rears, which the app configures as surround channels.
- Does the subwoofer need a cable?
- It needs power only. It pairs wirelessly to the Beam over Sonos' network, so you can place it across the room.
- Does it support Dolby Atmos?
- Yes, the Beam decodes Dolby Atmos, TrueHD and Digital Plus over eARC. The effect is height-limited without up-firing or rear speakers.
- Can I use it without the app?
- Basic TV playback works over HDMI-CEC with your TV remote, but setup, streaming and room tuning require the Sonos app.
- Is there a remote in the box?
- No. You control it with the Sonos app, your TV remote or voice through Alexa.
- Where is the Sonos Immersive Set with Beam cheapest?
- At Sonos, for $1,361.00, as of our latest check.
