Sonos Ray Compact Soundbar for TV and Music - Black

Product Description

Upgrade your everyday TV and music experience with the Sonos Ray, a compact soundbar designed to deliver clear, balanced and room-filling sound without taking up much space. Its understated matte-black design fits naturally beneath a TV, making it an excellent choice for bedrooms, apartments, smaller living rooms and compact entertainment setups.

Sonos Ray features four Class-D digital amplifiers, two tweeters and two high-efficiency midwoofers, delivering crisp high frequencies, clear dialogue and rich low-end performance from a compact enclosure. Its proprietary bass-reflex architecture helps reduce distortion while adding depth to music, movies and games.

Setup is simple: connect Ray to your TV's optical audio output, open the Sonos app and follow the guided setup. You can also use your existing compatible infrared TV remote to control the volume. When the TV is switched off, Ray becomes a wireless music speaker, allowing you to stream music, podcasts, radio and audiobooks over Wi-Fi.

With Trueplay room tuning, Speech Enhancement, Night Sound, adjustable EQ and Apple AirPlay 2, Sonos Ray offers a flexible listening experience that is easy to integrate into a wider Sonos ecosystem.
