Hi, 

 

I have a Sonos arc and am planning to get two era 100’s as surround. I understand  that the era 100’s do not have Dolby atmos however Will I still get Dolby atmos from the arc. Thanks

Yes, you will get atmos with your setup.  The Era 100s cannot play atmos audio by themselves or setup as a stereo pair, but will play the rear surround channels of atmos when used with an Arc, Arch Ultra, or Beam Gen 2.

Thank you very much for the clarification

Add the 100s as surrounds.

I add the Eras to my current Sonos system, I give each a unique Sonos Room name (RS and LS) then add them to the Arc as surrounds.

I had glitches when I named both Era Rooms the same name on install.
