The smart, compact soundbar for your TV—
Swipe, touch, tap, or ask—with Beam you've got choices on how to control sound.
Volume control | Touch for small adjustments or touch and hold to quickly change the volume:
| |
Play/Pause | Touch to play or pause sound. | |
Next/Previous (Music only) |
| |
Microphone indicator |
| |
Status light | Indicates the status. Learn more If the light is distracting, you can turn it off in your room's settings. |
Note: If you don't want anyone (like a child) to control playback or change the volume using the speaker touch controls, you can disable them in the room's settings.
AC power (mains) input | Use only the supplied power cord (using a third-party power cord will void your warranty). Note: Insert the power cord firmly until it is flush with the speaker. |
Join button | Press to connect during setup. |
Ethernet port | Use an Ethernet cable if you want to connect to a router, computer, or network-attached storage (NAS) device (optional). |
HDMI port | Use to connect the soundbar to your TV. |
You can mount Beam to a wall above or below your TV or place it on a credenza.
To put Beam on a wall, see Wall mount.
Use only the supplied power cord (using a third-party power cord will void your warranty).
Use the HDMI cable to connect the soundbar to your TV. You may need the optical adapter too (the app lets you know).
If your TV has an HDMI ARC port
HDMI ARC is a special port that looks like a standard HDMI port. Although they look the same, if you connect to a standard HDMI port, you won't hear sound.
Note: If you can't find the word "ARC" on the label, it isn't the correct port. See If your TV doesn't have an HDMI ARC port.
If your TV doesn't have an HDMI ARC port
You'll need the optical audio adapter.
If you don't have the app, download it from the app store. You'll use it to set up and control your Sonos system. See Getting started.
Touch to turn the microphone on and off. (If you don't have a voice service installed, the microphone is inactive.)
When the microphone light is on, voice control is on and your voice assistant is ready to respond. When the microphone light is off, voice control is off.
Note: If you've installed a voice service and the microphone is off, you can still use voice commands. Just press and hold —no need to start with a wake word. When you release the microphone button, voice control turns off again.
Note: Don't discard the template. It may look like packing material.
