The new Sonos Playbase is an amazingly thin speaker for flat-screen TVs<article>
<section class="page">
<p>Recognizing that most TVs rest on furniture versus being mounted on the wall, Sonos is adding a second TV speaker to its whole-home audio lineup. The incredibly thin Playbase is designed to sit underneath a flat-screen TV, connecting to it via an optical cable. As with Sonos’ earlier
Playbar, the $699 Playbase can connect wirelessly to the company’s subwoofer and any pair of wireless speakers to form a 5.1-channel home theater audio system.</p><p>The rectangular speaker measures 28.35 inches wide and 14.17 inches deep, but is just 2.28 inches high and can support a TV weighing up to 75 pounds. The glass-filled polycarbonate enclosure houses six midrange drivers, three tweeters, and one woofer, with each speaker paired to its own Class D amplifier. As is typical of Sonos, the company did not disclose the amplifier output, but none of its previous speakers have left us wanting more volume.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3176083/home-theater/the-new-sonos-playbase-is-an-amazingly-thin-speaker-for-flat-screen-tvs.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
