I don’t usually recommend attempting to use SONOS for Karaoke, but I’d like to hear from anyone who has attempted using the HDMI-ARC or HDMI-eARC connection to a SONOS soundbar. The latency for this connection is 30ms vs 75ms for a Line-In connection. The 75ms delay is totally frustrating for most people. Is the 30ms delay tolerable for you?

Hi buzz, yes I used like this my Era 100's and the 30ms of delay for me is very tolerable but as all, everyone have a different opinion and I'm considerate myself very permissible.

I hope my opinion help you :)

You were not using a soundbar’s HDMI input? You were using Line-In on an ERA 300?

Yes, it was a bit difficult to connect to the line-in but I made it through a Aux from the headphones exit of my TV to my Era 100 via the adapter, but I just tried the same with a borrowed Beam for you a reply and for me is very tolerable the 30ms of delay.

In your setup is your voice mixed with the music?

Only with the Beam because with the line-in only sometimes by the delay with faster songs
