Kia ora Mosen At Largers. Isn't it a pleasant surprise to have something you've been looking forward to arrive well ahead of schedule? Sonos Arc, Sonos's new flagship sound bar with Dolby Atmos, Alexa, Google Assistant, AirPlay and phenomenal sound, is now here at Mosen Towers. I had the Zoom F6 portable field recorder running with a couple of Sony ECM77B microphones as my daughter Heidi, son-in-law Henry and I unboxed it and set it up.   Arc runs on Sonos's new S2 operating system, and while I've not had any issues with Sonos before the S2 upgrade, Sonos and my network are currently not getting on well at all. You'll here how problematic the set-up was for me. I would be surprised if it is this bad for you.   I also want to draw the blind community's attention to some serious impediments you may find when it comes to enjoying Dolby Atmos content. On my TV, you can't enable the EARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) feature and have an Android TV screen reader running at the same time. And to my dismay, I have found that in many if not all cases, audio described content is encoded in 5.1 but not Atmos. You have to turn audio description off to get the Atmos.   I hope you find the podcast helpful. Despite the problems, it is a phenomenal upgrade from my Sonos PLAYBAR.  

There’s a lot more tech inside this unit than any Sonos speaker ever before, and it has upgraded styling in both black and white that fits with the modern era of their speaker range. Everything about it feels ready for the next era in living room entertainment and even without the Atmos experience the Arc delivers a lot more than the Playbar as a raw audio upgrade.This is an entirely worthy successor for the Sonos Playbar, and it does raise the bar so that Sonos has a flagship home entertainment soundbar that is primed for the 4K era and beyond.If you already own a Playbar, don’t go rushing out to upgrade until your TV will help you get everything out of its latest features. But if you already have an eARC TV it’s an exciting time to step up.If you’ve never pursued audio excellence in your living room and you enjoy a lot of audio even when the TV is switched off, this is the new soundbar you’re looking for.

Yonomi - The Automation Consolidation App Being able to control anything and everything in your home from your smartphone is pretty cool. Having to open multiple apps to do it is kinda lame. That's what the developers behind Yonomi are hoping to solve for you. Sure if you have a central server or hub, you can do it all there and control everything with one app, but is there really one server that can control any smart device? We haven't seen it yet.   Of course, Yonomi can't control any and every smart device you can imagine, but because their approach is different, they have support for more than you can imagine. And it feels like it will be easier for them to add support for more devices faster than a server or hub product could do.   About the App From the Website: “Smart devices are here: Wireless thermostats, activity monitors, networked music systems and a whole host of devices in the home. Wouldn't it be great if they all could communicate together? Wouldn't it be even better if they worked in unison to make your daily routines easier and more enjoyable? Now there is an app that does all that and works in the background so you can get back to the things that really matter.”   “Yonomi resides on your phone and in the Cloud. No need for a hub, controller box or other additional hardware. Yonomi magically finds and enhances your existing connected devices allowing them to interact with one another in ways never before possible.”   Supported Devices August Smart Locks Belkin WeMo Switches, Plug Modules, Motion Sensors, Bulbs and Netcams Belkin Wemo enabled Crock-Pot Belkin Wemo enabled Mr. Coffee Cree LED Bulbs Egg Minder GE Link LED Bulbs Jawbone UP Mimo Baby Monitor Nest Thermostat and Smoke Detector Parrot Flower Power Philips HUE Lights Quirky Aros Air Conditioner, Door & Window Sensors, Water Sensors Sonos Devices Withings Pulse, Activite, Smart Body Analyzer, Wireless Scale   Using the App First of all, the app is totally free. We aren't sure how they plan to make money and stay around for the long run, but hopefully they have a plan. It is a bit scary to rely on it as your home automation server to only have it disappear out from underneath you. But then again, it's free, so you've lost nothing but the time it took to get it up and running. Installing the app is as easy as any other app. Then you register by providing your name, email address and a password. Once done, it scours your WiFi for compatible devices and adds them.   Once you have some devices in the app, that's when things get really fun. It starts by suggesting routines that match with the devices you have. Almost like a Harmony remote, when you add a TV and it tells you that you should really have a Watch TV activity, etc. But it goes way beyond just the devices it found. You can tell it where your home is located and it can use date and time, sunrise and/or sunset, the location of the phone (you leave home, you arrive home, etc) and a lot more to customize your routines.   Much like an automation hub or server, you can configure all kinds of routines to occur based on your life, and even things you didn't know your devices could do. You can have your Sonos speakers talk to you, like saying ‘Don't forget your lunch' at 7:45 in the morning as your kids are headed out the door for school, then play Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye) by Bananarama as they're walking out. Or it can say, “Welcome home, Dave” when you get back from a long day at work, then start playing your favorite relaxing slow jam mix to help you de-stress. Even turn on some lights and start a pot of coffee.   Events that occur on the phone can set off routines in the smart devices as well. Flash the lights in the whole house when you get a phone call. Mute the Sonos speakers, or pause the music, when you answer or make a call. Have the Sonos speakers announce the weather when you shake the phone. It's fun, easy to use, and very easy to configure. Because the app works with the Sonos Playbar, there are a bunch of cool potential routines to tie into your home theater as well.   We didn't get the chance to try it on multiple phones, to make sure they could set independent routines, like different slow jam mixes when different people arrive home, but since the phone was added as a supported device during setup, we assume it would be as simple as logging into the app with the same account and creating some new routines. We'll try this later and report back.

Sonos Playbar and Sub Review We've reviewed multiple soundbars in the past, from a wide variety of companies, but we've never reviewed a Playbar. What is the difference between a soundbar and a Playbar? Quite a bit as it turns out. Knowing Sonos we expected big things, and we weren't disappointed in the slightest. The Playbar sells for $699 (shop now) and the optional Sub for an additional $699 (shop now).   Setup If you already have any Sonos equipment in your home, setting up the Playbar and Sub is ridiculously easy. If you don't have any Sonos gear, don't worry, setup goes from ridiculously easy to quite easy. There's simply not that much to it. First step is to connect the Playbar itself or the optional Sonos Bridge ($42) to your home network via wired Ethernet. Our review unit included a Bridge, and Braden already had one as well, so we went the Bridge route.   The one Sonos device you connect to wired Ethernet allows the rest of your Sonos devices to be placed anywhere in the home with no need for any wires other than power. Once you have that main device connected to the network, you can download the Sonos app either to your iOS device, your Android device, or to your personal computer. You use the app to connect to your main device - it becomes your controller - and add music sources to listen to.   Once you have a main Sonos device and the app to control all your Sonos gear up and running, adding new devices, like a Playbar or a Sub, is as easy as telling the app you want to add a new device, clicking a button on that device, and watching it show up. You can assign the new device to a room (by room name), and you're ready to start listening to music. Since the Playbar is a little different, setup is slightly more involved. The app asks you a set of questions to help calibrate the speaker for your room, walks you through setting up your remote so the volume buttons will control the Playbar volume.   You connect the Playbar to your theater equipment using a single optical audio (toslink) cable. So if you have multiple sources, you'll still need something in place to switch between them before sending the audio to your Playbar.   Adding the Sub is just as easy as adding the Playbar itself. Tell the app you want to add a Sub to your Playbar, click a button on the Sub and that's it. You can place the Subwoofer itself anywhere. It just needs power. The app asks a couple quick calibration questions and you've just added all the booming bass you need for those big explosions.   Performance As is true with just about any soundbar, the Playbar is clearly better than any TV speaker we have. Adding just the Playbar itself will improve your HDTV experience. When you add the Sub along with it, you get a new dimension in sound you would never come close to in a built-in TV speaker. The Playbar and Sub cannot compete with a dedicated Home Theater receiver and good, separate left, center and right speakers, but it isn't intended to. For rooms that don't have the full surround sound system, like a loft, a study, a game room or a bedroom, the Playbar is perfect.   For movies and HDTV the Playbar was as good as almost any other soundbar we've used or reviewed. The only one that stood out in our minds as better was the Yamaha Sound Projector from a CES demo a few years ago. But that was an almost $2000 device that was intended to simulate surround sound, The Playbar doesn't try to simulate surround effects. It is clearly packaged and sold as a 3.0 system: left, center and right. Since we've had lackluster success with simulated surround in the past, the idea of sticking to 3.0 doesn't bother us.   Where the Playbar really excels is with music and versatility. As a pure music playing device, the Playbar is excellent. Compared with other soundbars that seem tuned and designed for TV viewing, the Playbar almost feels like it is built for music. Every genre we threw at it, from Rock to Classical, sounded great. It was crisp and vibrant, not overly hushed in the higher tones or muffled in strange ways in the midrange. It just sounded clean.   And versatile. As a member of the Sonos family, the Playbar jumps right in with the rest of your gear to play and stream any of your music sources. It can stream your home media collection, including iTunes, and all of your online sources like Pandora, Spotify, Beats Music, Google Play, iHeartRadio and more. It can also sync with any other Sonos player to get the same music going in multiple rooms at once. For as many times as we've used or reviewed Sonos, we're yet to have music synchronization issues with multi-zone playback.   But wait, there's more… This isn't just an ordinary soundbar review, nor is it a typical ‘soundbar with a sub' review, nor is it a ‘soundbar with a sub that can stream your music to in sync in multiple rooms' review. Turns out this review is also about full 5.1 surround sound without wires … without speaker wires at least. You can actually add two additional sonos players to the rear of your room and turn the 3.1 Playbar + Sub int a full 5.1 surround system, with true surround speakers, not simulated ones. All they need is power.   We added two Play:1 ($199) speakers to the back of our test room and gave it a shot. Adding them was as easy as anything else. Tell the app you want to add a stereo pair for surround sound, click the button on the right speaker, click the button on the left speaker, tell the app how far away from your listening position each speaker is, and you're done.   We watched a lot of movie clips with the Play:1 speakers proving the left and right surround for our newly created 5.1 home theater system, and they did a great job. Sync, as far as we could tell, was perfect. The Play:1 speaker is more than capable of reproducing surround effects well and with precision and clarity. Adding them to the back of the room totally changed the game. We added surround sound without running speaker wires, we did it with the click of a button, and we did it without the popping and crackling you can get from a wireless speaker solution.   Drawbacks The biggest drawback is the single optical audio cable. The first, and most obvious, is if you have multiple sources, like a cable or satellite box and a Blu-ray player. In that case you'd still need something else to switch the audio for you so you didn't have to manually switch cables to change inputs. The second reason is that optical cables simply don't support the latest and greatest audio codecs.  Sonos may never support a 7.1 system with four Play:1 speakers in the back of the room, but an HDMI input and support for the newer audio codecs would go a long way to making the Playbar feel more future-proof.   Conclusion After the review, this was one of the very few products that Braden's wife asked if they got to keep. Unfortunately not. And unfortunately it was too late to pick them up for Father's day, but there's always Christmas. She asked because of how dramatically better the sound was on the loft TV using the Playbar. It was like night and day. And the speaker is so slim and well designed aesthetically, that it blends right in to any media room setup. There is so much more that the Playbar can do that we haven't talked about. It really is a great piece of equipment.   Bottom line, if you have Sonos, get a Playbar for your secondary TVs. If you don't have Sonos, get your feet wet with a Playbar and before you know it, you'll be adding Play:1 speakers all over your house. If you watch a lot of movies on those secondary TVs, get the Sub and the extra two Play:1 speakers. You'll be impressed, and so will any guests you have over.
