Sonos Beam Ultra, Delivered, Set Up and Installed
Dialogue you can follow, Dolby Atmos sound from above and volume on your TV remote, in one compact bar. Buy the Beam Ultra from a Sonos Gold Dealer at $949, delivered free in the GTA. Setup is $150 when you buy here, or we wall-mount it with cables hidden.
Why is TV dialogue so hard to hear, and what fixes it?
If you watch with captions on, or turn the TV up for the voices and down when the action starts, the built-in speakers are the problem. The Beam Ultra replaces them with one compact bar under the screen. Speech Enhancement lifts voices above the music and effects, so you follow the story without riding the remote.
For films and shows mixed in Dolby Atmos, two tweeters fire upward through horns, so sound reaches you from above the screen as well as in front of it. One HDMI cable runs to the TV, and on most TVs from the last several years the remote you already own sets the volume.
Still deciding between a soundbar and a bigger setup? Our guide to TV speakers, soundbars and home theatre systems compares the three.
- Voices you can follow at normal volume
- Volume on the TV remote you already use
- Dolby Atmos height from a single bar
- One HDMI cable to the TV
- Room to add a sub or rear speakers later
What changes in your living room day to day?
You stop reaching for the remote between scenes and stop turning on captions to catch a line. Voices sit clear of the soundtrack, Atmos films get sound from above, and late viewing stays quiet for the rest of the house. The bar takes one slot under the TV and answers to the remote you already use.
You catch the line the first time
Fewer rewinds to hear what someone mumbled. Speech Enhancement has four levels in the Sonos app, so you choose how much help the mix gets.
Late movies without waking the house
You can watch after the kids are in bed and still hear the quiet scenes. Night Sound turns down the loudest effects and brings up the quiet ones.
Rain and aircraft that sound overhead
Films and shows mixed in Dolby Atmos put sound above the screen as well as in front of you. Two up-firing tweeters, aimed through horns, create that height.
One remote for the picture and the sound
You keep the remote you know, and so does everyone else at home. HDMI eARC passes the TV's volume commands to the bar on most TVs from the last several years.
Sound set up for your room
The bar sounds right in the room it actually sits in, with your furniture and your walls. Trueplay room tuning adjusts it to that space.
Music when the TV is off
Between shows, play your own music on the living room bar from your phone. It takes AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth 5.3, and joins your other Sonos speakers in the Sonos app.
Which living rooms suit it best?
Mid-size living rooms and media rooms, where the TV's own speakers fall short and a full surround system is more than you want to start with. At 75 cm wide and 6.5 cm high, the bar sits on a console or centred on the wall under the TV, and it grows with a sub or rear speakers later.
Condo and apartment living rooms
At 10.5 cm deep, the bar fits a narrow media console. Night Sound keeps late movies down when a neighbour shares the wall, and you get Dolby Atmos height without speakers in every corner.
Family rooms with a wall-mounted TV
We centre the bar under the screen and run the cables inside the wall where the wall allows, so nothing hangs below the TV. Everyone at home keeps using the same remote.
Media rooms you plan to build on
Start with the bar, then add a Sub Mini, or a Sub 4 for a larger room, and a pair of Era 100 rears when you are ready. Each piece joins in the Sonos app, and the bar stays at the centre of the system.
When it is not the right buy: for a large or open-concept room, the Arc Ultra is the better match. If you want to spend less, the Beam (Gen 2) sits below it in the Sonos range. If your Blu-ray collection depends on DTS:X, know that the bar plays DTS Digital Surround but not DTS:X. If none of that applies, the pricing below shows what the bar costs delivered, set up or wall-mounted.

What is the Sonos Beam Ultra?
A compact Dolby Atmos soundbar for mid-size living rooms and media rooms. Sonos describes it as 7.1.2: nine drivers, including two tweeters that fire upward through horns for height, driven by nine amplifiers in a bar 75 cm wide.
It sits between the Beam (Gen 2) and the Arc Ultra in the Sonos range. For a large or open-concept room, compare it with the Arc Ultra on our Sonos installation page.
Will it work with your TV? Your TV needs an HDMI port labelled eARC or ARC, which most TVs from the last several years have. Not sure? Send us the TV model number and we will confirm it before you order.
Why pay for soundbar setup when it plugs into the TV?
Because most of the work is in the TV's settings, not the cable. Plugging in the HDMI cable takes a minute. Getting Dolby Atmos to arrive, the TV remote to control volume and dialogue to stay clear takes settings on both the TV and the Sonos app, and those settings differ by TV brand.
eARC set on the TV, not just plugged in
We use the HDMI port marked eARC, switch the TV speakers off and set the TV audio output so Atmos passes through. Leave the output on PCM and you lose the height channels without knowing it.
Trueplay for your room
Trueplay measures how your room reflects sound and adjusts the bar to it. A room with a glass wall and one with a sectional against the back wall need different corrections.
A mount that lines up with the TV
We centre the bar under the screen, keep it from blocking the TV's remote sensor and leave clearance above it for the up-firing tweeters, following Sonos's mounting guidance.
Cables you do not see
When the TV is on the wall, we run the HDMI and power in the wall where your wall allows it. Brick, tile and concrete condo walls get a paintable surface channel instead.
Setup or installation: which one does your soundbar need?
Setup, if the bar sits on a console under the TV. Installation, if it goes on the wall or the TV is going up at the same time. Setup is a fixed $150 with a bar bought here. Installation depends on the wall, so we quote it after you send a photo.

What can you add to the soundbar later?
A subwoofer, rear speakers or headphones. The bar works with Sonos subs and rear speakers, and you add them in the Sonos app. Order a sub or rear speakers with the bar and the total can pass $1,500 before HST, which makes setup free.
A Sonos subwoofer
Sub Mini for most living rooms, Sub 4 for larger ones. The bar stops working as hard on bass, so voices stay clear at higher volume.
Rear speakers
A pair of Era 100 speakers behind the seating turns the bar into a surround system. We place them, run power where needed and set their levels.
Sonos Ace headphones
TV Audio Swap sends the TV sound to compatible Sonos headphones, so one person can watch late without waking the house.
