Two Sub Mini's

Sonos had stated the reason for this was that a single sub has more volume output than a pair of sub minis.  I would guess that the costs associated with supporting that setup was at least part of the reason as well. 

Regardless, it would be nice to migrate from 1 mini to 2, rather than get a full size sub and then need to use the Mini in another room or what have you.

Yeah, that’s what i’ve heard but most people living in apartments don’t want more volume. I would dare say the sub mini’s main customer is people living in apartments. So why not let them have two sub minis to even the low’s distribution in their living room. 

And i totally agree with you on the second point. Minis are more versatile and fit a ton of setups because of their size. 

Hi @fedetch 

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

Thank you - I've marked this thread as a feature request and it will be seen by the relevant teams for consideration. Keep the ideas coming!

Hi everyone….

Just wonder if anyone have any update on this topic. I am allso interested in purcase 2xSub Mini if they will be availible for dual conf.

For those who are assosiated with Sonos: The Gen 3 will still be wanted,but for those who might have a issue with the square box-style G3 and would like the looks of the cylindric Mini instead.

And i’m allso on the train for dual sub conf for any stereo-pair.

Hi @BOL74 

No, no update, but what I can tell you is that IF we do implement this feature, there will be no prior warning - it will be impossible one day, possible the next, it being announced that same day.

Please note the deliberate and hopefully obvious emphasis on “if”. I understand the reasoning behind being unable to dual-sub Sub Minis, but I don’t know if aesthetic reasons were considered when the decision not to allow it was made.

Sonos knows history!

The Osborne Effect

According to proponents of the Osborne Effect, Adam Osborne damaged his company's current sales when he began showing the Osborne Executive to journalists in early 1983. Dealers rapidly started cancelling orders for the Osborne 1 in anticipation of the new Executive. Unsold inventory piled up and in spite of dramatic price cuts – the Osborne 1 was selling for $1295 in July 1983 and $995 by August – sales did not recover. Losses, already higher than expected, continued to mount, and OCC declared bankruptcy on September 13, 1983.

I would like to second the addition of this feature. 
 

Although, not for aesthetic reasons. 

I think there’s lot of us who bought a sub mini for our small/medium sized apartments to later discover we have huge bass nulls in our MLP’s. 

So now that we’re stuck with the sunken cost of our first mini (not that we regret it), it would be nice to have the ability to add a second just to smooth things out. 
 

I don’t need the power of a full sized sub, just an even bass response throughout my living room. 
 

If any progress has been made on this front already I’d be excited to hear about it. 
 

Thanks everybody at Sonos!

You can negate bass nulls at the MLP by moving the sub around the room.  The old trick is to put the sub on the seating area, then crawl around on floor to the possible placement positions.  Whichever one sound the best, put the sub there. 

Either that, or switch the phase setting for the sub.  That will shift the nulls in the room, hopefully getting your MLP in a good spot. 

Could someone please confirm that 2 Sub Mini can NOT be connected together?

Thanks   

Hi @Rick H. 

I can confirm that, at present, you cannot configure two Sub Minis to be in the same room/zone in the app.

I hope this helps.
