So I have the following speakers and am trying how to best configure what I have to get the most out of the system:

  • (1) Beam Playbar
  • (3) Sonos One SL Speakers
  • (1) Sonos Play:1 Speaker

I Currently have two of the One SL speakers in the back of the room facing the TV in an elevated position and they are set up as surround system (Left and Right) with the beam playbar (Rear Surrounds). I would like to set the other two speakers up in the corners adjacent to the TV and facing the listener. The TV is mounted on the wall in center of the room. I am not sure I can pair the One SL and Play:1 speaker so currently they are just additional speakers that I have to manually control the volume in the app which is annoying.

 

If I need to discard the play:1 speaker should I purchase a refurbished or used One SL speaker to get the configuration I am looking for or go another route? Really tired of having to maually adjust volumes for each speaker and would much rather control everything with one volume adjustment.

 

FWIW I am running all this through the APPLETV4K plugged into my TV...

Sonos only allows one set of surrounds for home theater setups, so choose two of the Ones as surrounds for the Beam SOUNDBAR. The Playbar is a different speaker.

The other One and Play1 will have to be setup as separate rooms, but I would not suggest you place them in the same room as your surround sound system. There will be a noticeable delay between the sound from them and the sound from the Beam and surrounds.

The setup of bar and 2 surrounds plus Sub is the maximum supported for a TV Room.

You can Group additional Sonos with that Room but there will be a delay for TV sourced sound, not for music sources though.

I don't  do it here but I think when Grouped the master volume for that Room, on the App, should control all at once.
