I have begun researching the possibility of adding Sonos Port to my system to enable the use of some really good Klipsch speakers in my office. I would power the speakers with an existing Denon amplifier. My question - does the Sonos Port ever go on sale? I would kick myself if i bought it and it goes on sale a few days later. 

Good morning. I’d like to ask if you happen to be working on an outdoor model—similar to the Five—that simply needs to be plugged into a power outlet and can use the home Wi-Fi network (perhaps boosted by a mesh system). Thanks.

Just as the title says.  I know at one point, long ago I had this working.  I have network drops at my Amp, and ARC and both of my subs.  I want to hard wire all of them into the Ethernet ports and then turn Wifi off on the Arc, Amp, and both Subs.  I was able to get the Wifi turned off on my Arc, and then add my Sub, but now that the sub is added to the Arc I don’t have the option to disable Wifi on the Sub.  And the “Disable Wifi” on the Arc is checked but greyed out.   Can I hard wire everything and turn off Wifi?  If not, what is the point of the Sub even having an Ethernet port?

I was comparing these 2, as with the WiiM Pro (and Pro Plus) you can stream to Sonos as well through DLNA and we have a Sonos system. But honestly the WiiM offer is half the price and seems better across the board. What in the offering makes the Port worth double? Maybe I am missing something? Is it just the name?

Hi! i have my turntable → sonos port → five. I am looking to see if there is way to get autoplay to work on source level 8.My thinking is that as long as the turntable is always connected to the port, the port should send a signal to the five as soon as the turntable sends signal to the port, without me having to manually change input in Sonos app to the five.Has anyone got this to work and can help me out? Thanks!

Hi , I have connected the Sonos Port to the enterprise network. However, after connecting the Sonos Port, the corresponding switch port is going into a disabled state. The IT team has raised the following questions: Is the Sonos Port supported on an enterprise network?Does the Sonos Port send or support BPDU? Could you please help us troubleshoot this issue and advise on the required switch configuration or any other network settings that may be needed?

I currently have an amplified turntable that Is connected to a PORT only so I can listen to my LPs through my SONOS speakers I am upgrading my turntable to a non-amplified version. If I upgrade the PORT to an AMP will that still take the input from the Turntable and play through my existing SONOS Speakers?

Hi everyone,I’m looking for some feedback from the community to confirm my future Sonos setup in my open-space living room. Please find the detailed layout attached (image_3.png).Here is my current layout on the plan:Top: My sofa facing the bottom wall.Bottom center: The TV stand and television.Left (near the window): My desk area and office chair.Yellow Dots: I have marked yellow dots on the plan to show the exact locations of my available power outlets.My needs:1 Home Cinema: Getting a great immersive experience when sitting on the sofa watching TV.2 Desk Area: I listen to streaming radio all day long while working at my desk.The hardware I selected:I'm planning to get the following setup: 1x Sonos Beam (Gen 2) under the TV, 1x Sonos Sub Mini for the bass, and 2x Sonos Era 100 as rear surrounds on each side of the sofa (which means the left surround speaker will be right next to my desk).My questions to confirm this setup:1 Radio Management at the Desk: Can you confirm that the Sonos

Hi everyone, Apologies if this has been answered somewhere already. I’ve read a bunch of related posts and feel like I’m still not sure if what I’m hoping for is possible (or if my idea is the best solution).  I have an existing surround sound setup with my tv - Beam connected to tv via HDMI cable, which is then grouped to two Era 100s. I am hoping to add my turntable (with built-in phono preamp) into the mix to play out of those 3 speakers (and a separate Sonos One in my bedroom) without adding any more speakers.  It seems like that should be possible by connecting a Port to the turntable. But will I be able to use the Beam and 2 Era 100s for both listening to music on the turntable, and for watching tv (not at the same time)? Some posts have brought up latency issues/tv audio no longer lining up with the picture. But will that happen if the tv isn’t connected to Port, though the Beam and Era 100s would be? Can I even pull off this setup, essentially having two separate sources (the t

I have a connect amp (bought in 2016) that I used to have linked to my old hi fi system that linked to my surround sound so that I couldplay vinyl through the surround sound. how do I set this up again as it doesn’t seem to now work. any advice appreciated.

Would there be any benefit in having a 9 band EQ in front of my Sonos?...Definitive Technology powered sub and Definitive Tech Mythos speakers...

As the title suggest, what’s the best pipe organ to get that fat juicy 20Hz response? 

Hi,We are midst renovating a 30s house with 2550mm ceiling height. We have a Sonos Amp and 4 ceiling speakers.Looking for a bit of advice on ceiling speaker locations for the attached plan - trying to figure out what the best option would be and it it's worth running the two pairs at 99 degrees and setting them to Duel Mono mode. It's worth mentioning that there will be a dining table and chairs going inline with the pendant light at the bottom of the plan. Thanks in advance  Pat

I've owned a Sonos Amp for a few years - hooked up to a turntable and via eARC for surround, running passive L/R speakers, 3rd party sub, and One SLs as surrounds. I would love to be able to complete the set up with a centre speaker, and since its not possible to connect a passive, I feel like the ability to add a sonos speaker (Ray, Beam, Era etc.) as a dedicated centre channel would be incredible. Unfortunately it seems this isn't possible currently (?), so I like to make a feature request to be able to pair an additional sonos speaker to a Sonos Amp as a dedicated centre channel (I would picture this being similar to set up as setting up surrounds with the Amp).Thanks!

I‘m thinking of getting 6 ceiling speakers in my open living/dining/kitchen rooms (total 60m2). However, I‘m not sure how to place them. We have no TV in the living room and generally my wife wants background music. However, I guess a stereo setup if possible would still sound more lively. Please find the layout below and excited to hear your input. my idea so far:- 2 speakers left/right of the sofa, to have nice stereo listening sound in living room- 2 speakers continuing left/right of the dining table (left matching left of living room zone)- 1 speaker (having stereo) in the kitchen (also possible to place 2, but such a small space)or should I put 4 speakers in living room?Many thanks  

I purchased a house with an existing Sonos Amp & speaker system.  There is new wifi service in the house.  How do I connect to the system and start to use it on new wifi?

i want to say as an avid sonos user, where i have 20+ items across multiple locations, the app still has a lot to be desired. just an hour ago, i purchased a brand new sonos amp and attempted to set it up wireless on my network. the app failed to connect to the amp and when it finally did, the amp was added but i got the dreaded message that the amp won’t be found until it is rebooted. multiple reboots and multiple resets and i still couldn’t get the amp to add. only when i physically plugged in an ethernet cable did the amp setup and begin a software upgrade process.this should be a simple basic process to add an item wirelessly. years later this app still struggles to add devices cleanly. all that and i'm not even mentioning the constant software glitches i get trying to use spotify connect with a sonos amp. it connects 1/3 of the time and when it does, i get lucky if a song plays on lossless without stopping somewhere inbetween. note my router is 10 feet from the amp. coincidentally

I have a TV with  beam gen2 with 2 x era 100 as surround speakers, v. happy with this setup.In another room I have my existing stereo which includes a turntable.If I buy a Sonos Port, can I take the line out(tape feed) from my amp into the port and have it stream to the sonos speakers in the other room? I don’t mind if the music just comes out of the beam or just the era 100s 

The Sonos Port is designed to be connected to external audio devices, it is the sole purpose of this device. Those external audio devices are likely to add latency due to audio processing. It makes no sense to expect users to remove audio processing just to have the port be able to almost be in sync with other sonos devices in the house.  To resolve this, the sonos port should have negative delay.   This is how I believe it should work. Obviously adding negative (future) delay is impossible. When a Sonos Port is configured with a negative delay of say 60ms, and it is joined into a group with other Sonos devices, the OTHER devices should have a positive delay of 60ms added to them, which would allow the port to be in sync with the entire group.  When the Sonos Port is removed from the group, they would remove that added positive delay. I know this has been discussed in other topics which are all closed now, but this device really takes a hit when it can’t function with a good chunk of A

I just want to access the Sonos 1 App using an old Sonos amp but it keeps reverting to the newer app?

My setup is a Beam and Era 300’s ( no sub) in surround sound mode in one room . In other rooms, I have Era 100’s. I woudl like to add an AT-LP3XBT turntable to the mix.I could direct connect the turntable to the Beam, but not the other speakers. Is it possible to:Direct connect the Beam and through it include all of the other speakers? Wirelessly do the same thing? Other alternative?

Have seen numerous comments on setting up a record player but need to add a receiver to the mix for signal boost. I have Kenwood KD-3070 turntable with RCA jacks and a Onkyo TX-SV444 receiver with many input/output ports. See pictures. I am guessing I connect the turntable to receiver (RCA) then receiver to ? to connect to my SONOS 100 speakers. Looking for guidance please with clear non-audiophile description. what connects to what description. I would assume that the connection from the new SONOS device would connect to SONOS speakers via WiFi? Thank You very much for input.

I was playing with my living room group which includes an Arc, sub 3 and in ceiling surrounds powered by the Sonos amp. My intention was to get a line in through the amp from my turntable (Crosley). After some research I discovered Sonos hides the line in on the amp when it’s connected as surrounds to the system. So I disconnect the surrounds from the system and used the line in on the amp. To my surprise, the line in started playing from the Arc and sub 3!  This is essentially the outcome I wanted, just with the surrounds in the mix as well and not having to screw with the groups every time I want to do this. But I was not expecting the line in to play from the Arc at all given it was a line in to the amp which connects to the in ceiling surrounds. So I guess my question is why is Sonos not allowing Line in with the surrounds connected, since it’s obviously possible. I just want to be able to use my turntable with the system without having to screw with the groups to do it. Are they g
