Well that was a disappointment. I have no interest in voice integration and the one new speaker that was introduced was a tiny soundbar. 😕
The new Sonos Beam is a $399 soundbar that works over HDMI to provide sound for TVs and uses Alexa to become a smart speaker than can take on the Echo and the HomePod. Can the hybrid Sonos Beam convince consumers to upgrade?

So far the only thing worth mentioning is the Beam. Everything else Beta users know about.
The Sonos beam looks smaller than the Playbar

I would think they will have to talk airplay2 and google home as well.
I sure hope they do something with AirPlay2 on not just the 3 devices right now.
Thanks 🙂

@Taps803, live blogging is on anywhere ? couldnt find...
No live stream.... But 9to5 mac is there.
Anyone have a link for a live stream?
Yea, They will def need to do HDMI IN-Out. Especially with people who have multiple devices.
Must be an updated Playbar.
Based on what has surfaced, it seems they will be opting for HDMI rather than optics and the image in the invitation hints at some universal remote capabilities.
My guess/hopes are
HDMI-CEC support which will solve the issue of many new TV-remotes not supporting the IR-signal required by the current Playbar for remote-support.
Support for newer standards not supported by the current optical cable; DTS, Dolby Digital Plus and potentially Dolby Atmos
HDMI in and out allowing for control of set-tops, the new Apple TV etc. via the new Playbar's HDMI-CEC
Voice-commands (Alexa and Google when ready) not only for music but also basic control of the TV via HDMI-CEC and other devices, e.g turning the TV on/off, pause and play.
