The claim is high: According to the American manufacturer, the Sonos Playbar, in addition to its function as a TV speaker, will also offer “rousing hi-fi sound”. So that you can enjoy this uncomplicated to the fullest, the soundbar is not only the contact to the TV. Equipped with WLAN, it accesses music files within the home network and plays them at the touch of a button.
In addition, the Soundbar integrates itself into an already existing Sonos environment, which can consist of different network speakers distributed in the house or the apartment together with music server. There is a "controller app" for iOS (Apple), Android or Windows to control the newcomer as well as the entire Sonos system. The computer on the desk can also be clamped in.
Both inside and outside the Soundbar will impress with all sorts of technical finesse. Fabric cover and aluminum give the body a high-quality design. Integrated sensors are integrated, which automatically recognize the type of placement and the sound reproduction. For example, the soundbar notices whether it is placed flat on a rack or is "hanging" under the TV.
The sound is provided by nine individually amplified loudspeakers with six center and three tweeters. The goal, according to Sonos, is to create a wide sound space for the music and TV use, but to place voices of actors centered under the TV screen. If you want additional bass reinforcement, link the soundbar to the Sonos Sub, and the upgrade to full surround cinema is possible thanks to the PLAY: 3 speaker pair.
Buying advice: The best soundbars
With the TV, the Sonos player connects via a standard optical digital cable. In this way, the loudspeakers also reach the sound signals of other players such as Blu-ray players or game consoles, which each dock on the TV.
The Sonos Playbar will be available from March 5th at a price of 700 euros.
