SONOS DOLBY DIGITAL PLUS TV
However, this placement means that sliding the Arc fully underneath your TV will make these controls difficult or impossible to get to. Sonos has placed the Arc’s touch controls on the top of the soundbar, which feels like a more logical position than the Playbar’s more awkward side controls. The design of the single-piece wrap-around speaker grille comprised of hundreds of tiny holes gives the Arc the same understated monolithic look as the company’s other recent products, such as the Move, Sonos One, One SL, and the updated Sonos Five.
