once a mini sub is bonded with a beam how does it appear as an airplay speaker. Can I airplay just the sub with other airplay speakers or will the beam come with it?

mini sub as airplay speaker

The Beam comes with it - you just select the Beam in your Airplay list.

So the two are one airplay speaker (so sound volume controls are bonded also). Is there a way to airplay the sub solo? I want to use it for music without the beam. My research suggests it only works when bonded with other Sonos speakers.
thanks.

The Beam & Sub-Mini are bonded together and the crossover etc; set and the room is then usually Trueplay tuned and sometimes also manually tuned to a users own listening preference in the environment. They two components appear as one ‘room’ in the Sonos App.
You would have to undo all the setup/bonding to use the Sub with another speaker, or room.. so it’s easier to leave all as it. Just select the Beam room to add to your chosen group - there’s no way to disable the playing audio output from the Beam.
The simple answer is to buy another Sub-Mini instead - I have one in our kitchen/diner and one in the main bedroom. I highly recommend the Sub-Mini and the Sub (gen3) too. It’s worth noting that the Sub (gen3) is currently on offer at its lowest ever price aswell.
No, you can not send a signal to only a Sub. It is always bonded to another speaker, and part of that ‘room’.
