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

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. :-)

Also a good approach - depending on history and how much kit is already there in the home!

Very nice. Coming in $70 cheaper than I anticipated. I’m a little surprised that this can’t be used in pairs, but looks like Sonos really wants to focus this on smaller rooms, rather than cause debate on whether 1 sub or 2 minis are better for a larger room.

I was trying to find our whether or not you can pair two subs like you can with the Gen 3. How did you find that out?

On the product page under the FAQ section.

Can I pair two in the same room?

No. To use two subwoofers in a single room, use Sub (Gen 3).

The FAQ section tends to be the best place to look first for typical questions like this.

Ohhhh. I should have looked there first, ha! Well that’s a bummer.

Apparently a single sub has more output than 2 minis. That’s the reason Sonos is providing for why they aren’t offering a a dual mini sub configuration. I see that as a slight positive in that there is no reason to spend the extra money on 2 minis vs a single sub. However, I am a little concerned in the mini’s performance if 2 is not better than a single sub. Then again, I don’t have my subs on max volume, they are more than enough for me, and it seems unlikely Sonos would create the Mini sub if it could not handle it’s intended purpose.

Sonos makes more money by people buying a new Sub than a second Mini if they want more bass. This isn’t a “slight positive”.

I don’t know what Sonos profit margins are for the Sub and Sub mini, so I couldn’t say what hypothetically makes more money. But you have a point. I was looking at it in terms of 2 minis costing more than a single sub...so you get more for less. However, if you already have a sub mini, and want more bass with no other room to use the Sub, then it will cost you more.

So if you aren’t sure whether a mini or full is right for your space, get both and test it out. If you only need a mini now, but anticipate moving to a larger space, then go ahead and get the full sub.

Hi @Jeffrey_35

@Corry P can you have Sonos add for a shopping option set: 1 Sub Mini AND either 1 or 2 Subs? Call it the “All About the Bass” Set. Get Meghan Trainor to do the ad for it. Look at that free marketing advice- well, actually I’ll just take an All About the Bass set for payment please. 🤣

I think the Mini Sub is more likely to be paired in box sets with devices it can work together with, such as Beam. Ray and Ones, rather than Sub, though I do get your point. I simply don’t know what the marketing people are planning, however.

@Corry P sorry I guess my laughing emoji at the end was lost in translation. It was said tongue in cheek and I was not trying to be too serious. 😉

Not saying it’s not a good choice, but there is also the idea that buying direct gets more profit to the manufacturer…also good choice. But then you have to figure whether the manufacturer is local or foreign, and whether the product is actually manufacturer locally, and sourced locally. But only in environmental and humane ways. Don’t forget to consider what charities the company supports, and it’s political affiliations!

I’m mostly goofing around Good to support your local shops. 😀

From the point of view in how far the product would have to travel, from that local retailer, it’s just about 40 miles whereas from Sonos direct, it comes from somewhere in Europe lol. They don’t ship from the UK. Plus, the retailer has an excellent YouTube channel and very good customer service 😍

I would buy from any local retailer who had a demo room where I could compare the Sub and the Mini. Alternatively, a local dealer who had the same free return policy.
