The Sonos Playbase is a powerful, low-profile soundbase designed to sit directly underneath a television.

Audio: 10 built-in internal Class-D amplified drivers: 6 mid-range, 3 tweeters, and 1 woofer (subwoofer).
Connectivity: Connects to your TV via an optical audio cable and to your home network via Wi-Fi. Does not have HDMI ARC or Bluetooth.
