Can Sonos Roam be paired with Sub Gen3?

Firstly,I can setup two paired Roam in my room successfully.

But can not add Sub(Gen 3) in my room.

In Apps, All device is appeared.

What can I do?

Hi. Nothing I am afraid. There is no way to pair Roam and Sub. This is a deliberate design choice by Sonos.

Thank for quick reply.

Even if I wait in the future
Is it useless expectation?

I would expect so. The Roam lacks the antenna/electronics necessary to have a ‘bond’ such as you would do with a Sub.

I don't think it would be a great sounding combination anyway, although I don't think that's the reason Sonos doesn't allow it. (A pair of Moves plus Sub would probably sound very good but is also not possible. )

But I agree with Bruce that we are unlikely ever to be able to put this to the test.

I think you’d do much better by adding a second Roam and thusly having a srereo pair!

Less money and you’d have a killer stereo set up…..The Roam can go pretty darn low.I believe it has usable output down to 60 hz.

A pair will play louder and it makes for a killer little stereo system.

Good luck

The OP already has a pair of Roams, and wants to add a Sub to that pair.

Everyone’s needs are different, but if the key aim is a stereo pair at home, then a One/One SL pair would give significantly better sound at a fairly small extra cost.  And it really sounds great with a Sub.  Of course, the Roam has many other capabilities that some users will be able to exploit.
