Why Have a Sonos Playbase

Movies, sports, TV shows, gaming – the slim, low profile Playbase adds dynamic, pulse-pounding sound to whatever’s playing on your TV. And streams your favourite music when your TV’s off. Why have one, the answer is simple, because everything sounds better.

Playbase is an off the wall approach to better TV sound, typical soundbars work best when wall-mounted directly below a TV. Truth is, most TVs end up on stands and furniture, Playbase was created exactly for this, with its low profile design it practically vanishes beneath your TV, yet fills your entire room with epic home cinema audio.

Trueplay

With Trueplay you can set your home cinema speakers up however you want and know they’re going to sound amazing. The size, shape, and setup of your room as well as the location of your TV all have a big effect on the sound you hear. Trueplay software works with the Sonos app to analyse your room, fine-tuning the sound to fit the space. To make sure whatever you’re watching sounds as spectacular as possible.

Feel the heart and soul of your movies and music

Ten amplified internal drivers and six mid-range, three tweeters, and one woofer – replace the limited output of your TV’s built-in speakers with deeper booms, crystal-clear whispers, and huge waves of sound.

Send TV sound all around

Playbase makes movies, sports, games, and music come alive in one room. Add more Sonos speakers to other rooms and you can listen to what’s playing on your TV all through your home.

Dialog enhancement

If your having a hard time hearing what’s being said, Playbase uses custom drivers to deliver crisp, clear dialogue to the centre channel where your ears can distinguish it best. Need even more clarity? Turn on Speech Enhancement to keep the dialogue at a consistent level and reduce the volume of any loud sound effects.

Night mode

Watching late at night and don’t want to disturb the rest of the house? Turn on Night Sound. At lower volumes, quiet sounds are enhanced and the intensity of loud sounds is reduced.
