THE BEAM (GEN 2)

The 2.88Kg heavy Sonos Beam (Gen 2) Atmos Soundbar measures 651mm in length, 100mm in depth and 68mm in height/thickness.

The only other Dolby Atmos soundbar in the lab is the Creative Stage 360 model so i though a size comparison was in order (the Beam is roughly 20% larger).

A metal grill expands from the front and to the sides thus covering both the front and side firing speakers.

Above you can see an exposed picture of the Beam (Gen 2) in order to have a better idea where every speaker is located at (marketing material).

Sonos has placed their logo at the front center of the soundbar.

Right under the company logo there's an IR receiver (can be used with TV remotes).

At the top of the Beam (Gen 2) we find the play/pause/group with other rooms and Sonos products button, the volume up/down buttons, microphone on/off button, next/previous track touch area (swipe right and left) and the activity LED (several holes are also placed here, these are probably used by the far field microphone array).

Moving at the rear we find the power port, join/reset button, RJ45 10/100Mbps ethernet port and the HDMI eARC port.

The base of the Beam (Gen 2) has two long rubber feet and two holes used to mount the soundbar onto the wall and TV mounts available by Sonos.
