Hello

Peter Pee offers some interesting takes on how the Arc Ultra will handle LFE using the Sound Motion Woofer (SMW).  In explaining the design of the SMW he references two opposing drivers which to me (thinking outside the box) kind’a mimics the design of the Sonos Sub on a much smaller scale.

The SMW per Peter will allow the Arc Ultra when using a sub to have a higher cross-over point thus not allowing vocals to bleed through to the sub as with the original Arc in some use cases. The end result should be better/cleaner dialogue.

Peter also does a pretty good job of explaining how the Arc Ultra will produce the supposed 9.1.4 sound. All-in-all I thought his take on the Arc Ultra and how it is not an Arc Gen2; but a completely redesigned soundbar, justifies the Arc Ultra moniker instead of Arc Gen2.

Click the link and listen to Peter’s remarks for yourself and let us know what you think.

Hey @AjTrek1, welcome back! 🙂

I have not had the chance to listen from a Sonos Arc Ultra yet, but I’m intrigued about this new technology and how our Community will react to Peter Pee’s video.

Thank you for sharing.
