The Ultimate Guide to a Sonos Home Theater (Part 2)

02. Add a Subwoofer

Not only can a subwoofer (also known as a “bass speaker”) produce more immersive and cinematic sound, but it also improves your soundbar’s overall performance.

Your soundbar produces mid-range and high frequency sounds, like dialogue, with exceptional clarity. But because of its slim and compact design, it’s limited in its ability to produce deep, powerful bass. By adding a dedicated bass speaker to your setup, your soundbar is able to offload the lowest frequency sounds — like a rumbling engine — and focus on delivering crisper mid-range sounds and cleaner highs. Ultimately, a subwoofer helps widen the soundstage to create a greater sense of dimension and depth.

Choosing your Sonos subwoofer

Sub 4

Sonos Sub 4

If you’re looking for clean, pulse-pounding bass that can fill a large room, look no further than Sub 4. Our iconic subwoofer pairs best with a powerful soundbar like Arc Ultra or Beam for truly immersive sound. Its versatile design lets you find the perfect fit for Sub in your home: face it forward to put it on full display; turn it to its profile for a more discreet look; or lay it flat and slide it under your couch so it’s completely out of sight. For the ultimate home theater experience, you can add a second Sub to Arc Ultra for even more balanced and impactful bass. Dual Subs work in harmony to engulf your space with the deepest rumbles of a fiery explosion and powerful roars of a crashing wave.
