Hi I wish to purchase two surround One speakers. However one will be in advance of the other. I intend to buy a One and a One SL. Can I mix then with the Arc & can I use one to any effect with the Arc before I get the second one? Thanks in advance - Mike

Yes, you can mix them. No, you can’t have one speaker as a surround, it must be the pair of them.

Thanks Bruce, will I get any sound from it at all; appreciate it can not be a surround system without the pair.
Oh, sure, you can ‘temporarily’ set it up as a separate room, and use it for music purposes, or ‘group’ it with the soundbar and get a slightly delayed combination signal. What it won’t do is act as a surround speaker at all until you get the second one, and set them up. At which point that delay goes away, and they’ll begin receiving the surround information.
There’s zero reason to get a One to use for surrounds. The One’s microphones are disabled when used as a surround with the Arc or Beam. Save cash and time and get two One SLs.
