The unreleased Sonos Ray soundbar is Sonos’ upcoming soundbar. Little had been known before now about the size of the soundbar. However, a recent flurry of activities has provided several photos of the device. These photos give a feeling of the size of the Sonos Ray, although there are still important aspects under wraps.
A tipster has shared a number of marketing shots of the Sonos Ray via a tweet. Snoopy Tech’s marketing photos of the device offer a view of its design and size. The Sonos Ray was displayed in black and white color variants. It has multiple perforated holes that were cut into the front grill of the soundbar. The back of the device contains the power, optical, and Ethernet ports. It lacks an HDMI eARC connection, as previously speculated by some quarters. There are also mounting holes at the back of the Sonos Ray for horizontal and vertical projections.
The upcoming soundbar basically supports Dolby Digital audio when used as a standalone. The Sonos Ray soundbars can also be deployed to deliver rear surround sound in combination with other compatible soundbars. Under such configuration, the Ray can output Dolby Atmos surround audio. The Sonos Ray is rumored to be priced at $249 and a June 2022 release date is also predicted. We expect Sonos to provide the finer optics of the Ray soundbar as we inch closer to its launch. Global availability details are lacking at this time.
