Hi all,

Today we announce the Sub Mini, the wireless subwoofer that sets a new standard in its category for powerful, balanced bass.

Available in matte black and white, Sub Mini will be available globally starting October 6.

Small but Mighty: Sub Mini Boosts Bass Across Movies, Music, Gaming and More

Bass without the Buzzkill: Dual custom woofers and advanced processing generate deep, dynamic low end with no buzz or rattle, helping you feel more immersed in every scene and song. Within the acoustically sealed cabinet, both woofers face inward to create a force-canceling effect that neutralizes distortion.

Balanced Sound: Advanced digital signal processing maximizes bass response and reproduces the full-toned low frequencies expected from a much larger subwoofer, allowing paired speakers like Beam, Ray, One, or One SL to focus on more mid-range and high frequencies for a richer, more powerful sound experience all around.

Pairs Well With…: Drum up the drama in every movie scene by pairing Beam or Ray with Sub Mini, or drop it even lower on your at-home dance floor by making Sub Mini your Sonos One’s plus one.

Looking Great at Every Angle: Unlike other subwoofers, Sub Mini features a round design that allows it to blend naturally into your home aesthetic without taking too much space (or attention).

Seamless Set-Up: Add Sub Mini to your Sonos system in just a few taps on the Sonos app, mixing and matching with different Sonos speakers to create your perfect sound system, whether you’re hosting a housewarming party or movie night with friends. You can also fine tune Sub Mini’s sound with Trueplay, which detects and adapts the speaker’s sound for reflections off of walls and furniture, giving you the best listening experience for your room and setup.

Building on the award-winning design of Sub, Sub Mini delivers rich, clear low end in a more compact, cylindrical design.

Sub Mini will be available globally starting October 6 2022 for $429USD, £429, €499, $699AUD. For more information, please visit Sonos.com

Hi all,

I have a Playbar paired with two Sonos Ones and they are being controlled via Sonos OS S2.

Does anyone know if this new sub mini is compatible with this set up so I can make 5.1?

I the description of the sub doesnt mention the Playbar.

Thanks

Mark

Yes, the sub-mini will work with your setup. See here:

So I decided to take my Sub gen 3 out of my HT room (Beam gen 2 plus One SL surrounds) and bond it to my Fives. Note all these speakers are in my lounge so the Sub could stay physically where it is which is actually quite near the Fives anyway. I re-did Trueplay for both setups and wow, I love how the Fives sound. They were fabulous before but the extra low bass adds a kind of wholeness now.
So now I kinda have to get the Sub mini to complete my Beam HT setup haha. I even have a nice little place for it to go

Can you have too many Sonos speakers? 🤔 😆

A rather favourable review of the Sub-Mini (spec.) before actually formally hearing how it sounds by Peter Pee:

I thought the facts about the driver-surface-area is interesting and I can’t wait to hear how the Sub-Mini compares to the Sonos Sub (gen3).

Airgetlam

Was indeed interesting. Driver surface area also has to be associated with an appropriately powerful magnet to drive them. Given the weight (and I found that intersting about Gen 2 and Gen 3 Subs) it remains to be seen how that will work. Or even if any of that Mayt tech is in it.

Looking forward to hands on reviews. Can’t imagine it will be bad at all, the question is, how good is it? Replace my Gen 2 Subs good? Or just add on to some music speakers good? :)

I have not heard any credible report of the latest Sub being any different than the first Sub released back in the day, and the latest version is at a significant price point higher than the Mini. That suggests that Sonos believes Mini won’t replace your existing Sub, unless the latter is too powerful for the space. But on its own, I would expect a One pair or even 5 pair + Mini to be in HiFi class as long as the room is not too big for those set ups to shine in, especially after Trueplay tuning.

Will the Sub Mini pair with the Arc? Or am I being an idiot? Is there any point in pairing it with an Arc?

Yes it will. As to there being a point, I guess that’s up to the listener.

As to the point, I would say pick you sub (full or mini) based on the size of the room, not the size of the soundbar you’re bonding it to.

On that note, I saw a Sonos Twitter feed saying sub mini was extensively tested in a 15 x 20 feet room, and that being the max size the sub mini should be used in. Is that right? I haven't been able to find a whole lot of guidance as to what Sonos considers a small to mid size room.

I have an Arc with 2 symfonisk frame speakers and my living room is 15 x 16 ft with 8 ft ceilings and am trying to decide between sub mini or sub 3.

Sounds like either would work in your setup so maybe it will come down to price? You could wait to see what reviewers say as hopefully some will compare both subs in various set ups 😊. It’s a shame you don’t already have a regular sub (and then buy the mini) to compare yourself.

Get both, put the big one in your big room and the mini in a smaller room, tell the spouse returning one was way too much hassle. :-)
