According to a new report, a smaller, more affordable sub will be released by Sonos that will be able to pair with the company's existing soundbars.
The Sub Mini will be a smaller version of the $749 Sub, which will be able to pair with the second-generation Beam, the Arc, and the Ray.
The Sub Mini was described in an earlier leak as a "smaller, cylindrical subwoofer", and that is reflected in a rendered version of the actual product seen by The Verge.
The main thing that distinguishes the Sub Mini hardware is an elongated, pill-shaped vertical cutout right in the middle of the device. It just so happens that the regular Sub has a rectangular cutout, so Sonos seems to have settled on this both for functionality and as a design trait of sorts. In the case of the Sub, there are acoustic ports on both sides, so it would follow that the Sub Mini will have a similar internal layout — albeit with smaller, less powerful components.
The full features list, dimensions, price, and release date have not been disclosed, but the subwoofer is likely to follow the same design signature as other recent and upcoming products in its home theater lineup.
This month, the company announced that it will be launching its own voice control system for its speakers, which will allow users to say "Hey Sonos" to control compatible music services.
