Sonos Ray Soundbar – Black
$349AUD inc. GST
The Sonos Ray (Black) is a sleek, compact soundbar engineered to elevate everyday TV, movie, and gaming audio with remarkable clarity and simplicity. Its understated matte‑black finish blends effortlessly into modern entertainment setups, making it an elegant upgrade for spaces where clean design and minimal footprint matter.
Inside the Ray is a carefully tuned acoustic system built around custom full‑range drivers, waveguides, and advanced digital signal processing. This combination produces a wide, immersive soundstage that feels far larger than the bar’s compact size suggests. Dialogue is rendered with exceptional precision, ensuring voices remain clear and intelligible even during busy action scenes or late‑night viewing.
The Ray is designed for effortless setup. A single optical cable connects it to virtually any TV, and the Sonos app guides you through installation in minutes. Once connected, you can control the soundbar using your TV remote, the Sonos app, or Apple AirPlay 2. Its front‑firing acoustic architecture makes it ideal for placement inside media cabinets or on narrow furniture without compromising sound quality.
As part of the Sonos ecosystem, the Ray offers seamless access to music, radio, and podcasts from your favourite streaming services. It can be grouped with other Sonos speakers for multi‑room audio or expanded into a fuller home‑theatre setup by adding a Sonos Sub or wireless surrounds. With ongoing software updates, the Ray continues to improve over time, ensuring long‑term value.
Compact, stylish, and impressively capable, the Sonos Ray (Black) is perfect for anyone seeking a simple yet high‑quality audio upgrade that enhances clarity, immersion, and everyday usability—without the complexity or size of larger sound systems.
