Another big leak from Sonos reveals key information about the new Arc Ultra smart soundbar

If you’re interested in Sonos’ latest soundbar, the Sonos Arc Ultra, you haven’t been short of information. We only recently covered a leak that revealed what the soundbar would look like, and before that we got a glimpse of how much it might cost. Now, thanks to a massive leak on the B&H Photo website, we have an even clearer picture of what we can expect from the new smart soundbar.

There are two products that filtration deals with. The first is the aforementioned Sonos Arc Ultra, and the second is the Sonos Sub 4. This is the latest version of Sonos’ subwoofer, a wireless device that adds more rumble to your movies and TV. Here’s what’s in the leak.

Impressive surround sound

According to the article, the Arc Ultra will feature fourteen drivers, giving it a very impressive 9.1.4 surround sound channels. This includes “seven tweeters, six midwoofers and an integrated subwoofer” to really bring the noise. Interestingly, it has 3 drivers (more than you’ll find in the previous generation Sonos Arc), so we’re expecting some very impressive audio from this soundbar. It’s made possible by new “Sound Motion technology,” which “surrounds you in precision sound from all directions.” This sounds like spatial audio to us.

This is all powered by Sonos’ Trueplay system, which uses built-in microphones to measure your room’s acoustics and adjust the sound profile accordingly. That means the soundbar should sound great no matter what room you put it in. It works brilliantly with the Sonos Era 300 smart speaker, so it should be a great addition here.

We also have some confirmation of the new features on board. There’s now a Bluetooth connection, plus new touch controls on the top of the bar. We’ll have to wait until we’ve tested it, but we think it could be high on our list of best soundbars.

A new subwoofer

The Sonos Arc Ultra isn’t the only product to leak. There’s also the Sonos Subwoofer 4, the latest version of Sonos’ bass soundbar. One of the most important features here is that when the new subwoofer is connected to the Sonos Ultra, the soundbar stops creating the lowest tones and leaves everything to the subwoofer. This should mean that the bass is clearer and there will be no interference between the two devices.

It will also work with the Trueplay feature to make sure it sounds as good as possible in the TV room. This leak is the most information about Sonos products we’ve seen so far, and since it comes from a trusted source, we’d say it’s likely to be accurate. Whatever happens, I wouldn’t want to be the poor person at B&H Photo who accidentally hit “publish” before they should have.
