Can you link your Sonos set up?
I bought them from Sonos themselves. The whole thing consists of an Arc + Gen 3 sub + a pair of One SL's and you can get the set
here. After tax your going to be paying over $2K for the setup.
No, unfortunately there's no Bluetooth, it's all connected via WiFi or ethernet if you choose. Mine are all connected via WiFi and I thought that I'd hear lag but nope none whatsoever. Besides you don't want Bluetooth for your surround setup because Bluetooth can only transmit simple audio nothing remotely close to Dolby Atmos. When you download the Sonos S2 app via the Apple App store and connect to your favorite music service through the app and there's like about 50 different music services to connect to and then play your music to the system via Airplay over WiFi but sorry no Bluetooth. And you'll need an Apple iPhone to setup your Sonos system too no Android last I checked but that might be different now as I had heard rumors that it was in the works to support it.
so I suppose you are on that train now despite your earlier post? or just simply stating,
Well my last soundbar didn't have Dolby Atmos and
@zeebeer sorta inspired me to seek out one that did and I researched and then I researched even more about every facet of my current setup (TV) and what I'd need to get Atmos to work with it. Since my TV in my office / game room was made in 2019 then Atmos was pretty much a no go for me but where there's a will there's a way. Thanks to a little device called an
Arcana made by a company called HDFury I'm now able to get Atmos to the soundbar and still get Dolby Vision to my TV and also have CEC setup on the TV to communicate with the devices connected to it. Unfortunately the Sonos Arc only has one HDMI port on it that connects to your ARC/eARC port on your TV so then I had to seek out a HDMI switch that can passthrough 4K@60Hz and Dolby Vision and Atmos, needless to say the list is very short which took a lot of research to find. It's
here. My devices all connect to the switch which in turn connects to the Arcana which then splits the HDMI because it's a scaler and video will go to the ARC/eARC of your TV and the Audio is split off to go to the Sonos Arc which now allows me to experience Dolby Atmos. You see the way the Sonos Arc was designed was for it to plug into your eARC HDMI port on your TV and all your other devices connect to your TV as well so everything would be going through the TV but Atmos can't pass over through an ARC port it has to be an eARC port and TV's with eARC weren't being produced until 2020 going forward but the Arcana allows me to get around that and it's the only device of it's kind right now, there are no other products on the market that can do what it does. Incidentally the shipping of the Arcana is max 3-days (WOW) especially coming all the way from Taiwan.
All this took a lot of research to uncover and it ultimately paid off.
If your going to buy a Sonos surround system you had better preorder now since there backordered about three weeks at any given time, unless you buy them from Best Buy.
All in all I really wasn't expecting much with a soundbar but I was just floored at the sound it can reproduce, it's astounding what it can do.
