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

I have 23 Sonos speakers/connects/amp in my home. Several are not compatible with S2, but work perfectly well. It’s unfortunate that I can purchase new products that are only compatible with S2 from Sonos unless I was to stop using my older products. Let me think….do I want that cool new bass for my bedroom setup, or do I want my 3 speakers, 3 connects, and 2 amps to continue to work?

I like the new products, just can’t buy any of them.

I think you must have possibly read some incorrect information somewhere along the line - I happily run an S1 system (with older products) alongside my S2 system and have just ordered the sub-mini. There’s no stopping you running both S1/S2 systems on the same network, side-by-side. Everything still works okay here.

You wouldn’t be able to group the devices, correct? The biggest advantage of the Sonos ecosystem is its ability to group zones.

Unfortunately,, in order to play in sync, each Sonos device must be defined in every device's firmware. Since the new devices didn't exist on S1, and S1 is frozen because S1 devices' memory and storage are filled up, there's no way for the new S2 devices to be recognized on S1.

You can Airplay across the two systems when you have an Airplay compatible device allocated to both Households (A Sonos One, for example) but in any event you are not losing anything (you can still group what devices you have in the S1 setup already) and by adding the new products you are benefiting as you can go onto group those too, albeit separately if not using Airplay sources.. so it’s still a win-situation. I have Roam/Arc/Beam2 now in the S2 HH and really enjoying those products.

@Ken_Griffiths - where are you planning to use your sub mini? I’m soooo tempted to get one to maybe replace my Sub gen 3 in my HT room, and then use the big Sub with my stereo Fives

Can you have too many Sonos speakers? 🤔 😆

I currently have the larger Sub in the lounge, bonded to a Sonos Arc/surrounds and another in the Dining Room with Beam2/surrounds.

I did originally have a Beam (gen1) in the Dining room and that got moved to the main bedroom TV and bonded with two Ones that were already in that room… so my plan is to just add the sub-mini to that bedroom setup, as I also have a desk/office area in the bedroom and I think the sub-mini will be ideal in there without being too overpowering.

If I had not got the second sub in the Dining Room with the Beam gen2 - I might have got the sub-mini for that room too.

I do really like a Sub. I just think it can make a huge difference to the overall TV/Music sound ..and so nowadays, I would certainly buy a sub before buying HT surrounds, if I had to choose between those two things.

So really looking forward to the little sub arriving here in early October.

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to know if it is possible to link the Sub Mini at Sonos speakers configurated in stereo mode ?

Kind regards.

That sounds perfect 😀. I’m very tempted to get one as I have a Beam gen 2 plus normal sub and surrounds in the lounge, plus I have 2 stereo Fives on their own, also in the lounge. A mini could either go with the Fives or replace the Beam set up’s sub and that sub go with the Fives. I may get one and try both set ups.

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
