Footnotes
- Every soundbar also comes with a power cable, and a quick start guide and/or manual.
- For the model numbers, ## = location, and could be US/EU/UK/AU/JP (United States, Europe, United Kingdom, Australia, Japan). If the model number is appended with BLK, it’s the black model. If it’s not appended at all, or appended with WHT, it’s the white model.
Example; the model number for a Black Sonos Arc from the United States is: ARCG1US1BLK.
