Enjoy Immersive Audio For Every Kickoff
Most TVs are built for picture quality. They need a supporting cast for you to get immersive sound, so commentary doesn’t get buried, and the crowd noise feels as all-encompassing as it does live. If you want to hear every tackle and touchdown celebration, you shouldn’t be relying on your TV’s built-in audio.
Instead we recommend pairing a Sonos Arc with a Sonos Amp for Game Days. The soundbar delivers Dolby Atmos sound straight from the TV, while the Amp brings your home's existing speakers into the same wireless system, so the broadcast reaches more than just the living room couch. Here is how the two work together to turn Sundays into a family event.
How Sonos Arc Sharpens Every Play
The Sonos Arc soundbar uses eleven built-in drivers, including upward- and side-firing speakers, to create Dolby Atmos surround sound from a single source mounted below or above the TV. The announcer's voice comes through, and the crowd noise hits you from all sides.
You will not need a separate receiver or a wall of equipment to get there. Arc connects to the TV via a single HDMI cable and joins the rest of the Sonos system over Wi-Fi. Add a subwoofer down the road to give your sound a little more kick. For homeowners who want theater-level sound for game day without theater-level wiring, Arc is the easiest place to start.
Extending The Broadcast Beyond The Living Room
A soundbar alone only covers one room. If you want to keep up with the action as you move around the house, upgrade to a Sonos Amp. It wirelessly brings your home's existing in-ceiling, in-wall, or freestanding speakers into the same Sonos system as the Arc. That way, the kitchen, the patio, or a finished basement broadcasts the same game at the same volume when you want, or something else for those not invested in the way.
Because the Amp works with speakers you may already have installed, upgrading to whole-home audio does not mean ripping into walls or replacing hardware that still works. We pair the new technology with an existing home theater or built-in audio setup instead of starting from scratch, and group rooms into game-day zones without running a single new wire.
Getting Placement And Calibration Right
Though an Arc and amp are quick upgrades, they do require some expertise. An Arc mounted off-center, or an Amp-driven pair aimed at the wrong wall, can leave one side of an open-concept living room louder than the other, or bury dialogue under bass from the kitchen. Professional installation accounts for room shape, seating distance, and the way sound bounces off hard floors or high ceilings before a single cable is run.
Westco Security also takes care of calibrating the soundbar and amp to your room. Sonos models include built-in software to help avoid thin or echoey sound. You get perfect audio for both Sunday tailgating and Tuesday nights watching the news.
Have your TV's built-in speakers been drowning out the game for one season too many? A Sonos Arc and Amp setup from Westco Security can fix that before kickoff arrives. Our team will walk your space, recommend the right speaker layout for your rooms, and handle the installation and calibration from start to finish.
