Spaces & Setups

While the ARC bar was under warranty, it was damaged and now, they send me a reconditioned replacement bar... Well, I bought it NEW. Shameful that SONOS !! FOOLED ME !! ... and after more than 20 days without the ARC

I apologize if this has been asked before, but this whole process has completely thrown me for a loop!  I was originally planning on setting up the Sonos Amp with 4 TIC B03 speakers and One TIC B55 amp, similar to the way that the Patio 4.1 system is configured.  I researched far and wide, bought the amp and 250 feet of 12AWG/4 OFC wire, and thought this was a viable combination.  Then when it came time to order the speakers, I went to re-calculate the Ohms and make sure I was buying something I could actually use, and now I am not so sure anymore.  Does anyone know whether this will work?  How do I wire the sub in w/out dropping below the 4 Ohm limit?  How does it work with the Patio 4.1 system when everything is 8 Ohms?  Do I run the + from one channel to the sub and the - from the other one?  Do either of the options in the attachments actually work without burning out the speakers and/or the amp?   

With most of my speakers, the Sonos Amp has a nice flat frequency response, just a little rolled off after 15KHz which I can’t hear anyway. But some speakers can cause peaking in the frequency response (typical problem with Class D without post filter feedback). I think it happens with the Sonos Amp when speakers have a negative phase at high frequency. At least that is the difference I have with this problematic speaker (Carmody Overnight Sensations). Here is the frequency response (voltage measurement at amp’s speaker terminals). This might be why some people have reported that the amp sounds bright. I never really thought so even with these speakers, but still I would like to be able smooth out the peak with EQ, and the existing treble control doesn’t do so well. Please, please, you can give this to us!edit: oops, previously I showed a curve that was generated after treble was turned one notch down.

Would love for Sonos to collaborate with someone to develop headphones specifically to be used with the system and connected like a Sonos One speaker.  Anything like this in the works?  If not, do you recommend a headphone to use for nighttime listening that doesn’t take a technician to figure out?

Sonos offers some great architectural speakers.Sonos should also offer a wall-mounting 'Amp Lite' that can drive a pair of architectural speakers.The 'Amp Lite' would be functionally similar to the current Amp, but would have less power output (to suit smaller rooms) and a lower price-point.  Does anyone else want one?

The icons in the UI are too small for human fingers.    My observation is that many apps suffer this problem and it’s likely an Apple issue (please confirm whether Sonos can code these differently).   I suspect this mechanism is also psychological, as it requires a very careful finger touch and brain focus (ie: keep you focused and engaged). Specifically, let’s take a look at an example, the elements at the top of the app:  These UI elements are unrealistic for the human hand, at least for casual use.   Again, I’ve seen this problem in other apps, and I suspect a larger issue.  Feel free to change my mind. Would Sonos please clarify the above?   Do you have the ability to override these unrealistically small UI elements?

OK so I have read a lot about this and think i know the answer but im hoping to get some advice on what i can do to make this better. My system currently is as followsSonos amp running two LCR front speakersSonos subThe issue I am having is with some TV shows and movies the Phantom Center voice is just way to low. On other stuff it is fine. I am looking for a way to add basically a center channel to my system to make this better as I don't think anything Sonos has in their offering will work. To me it seems like the simple solution would be for Sonos to offer some settings in the amp for the AMP and other products that would bring out the Voice or maybe other EQs but so far that has not happened and the APP is very basic as i write this. So that leaves me with a couple of options that I can see.1 Buy a HDMI audio splitter and a HDMI 2 way splitter to pull the center audio off the HDMI stream then feed this into a mono amp and into a passive center speaker.2 Toss the Sonos amp and add a

Hi all, I have placed my order for the Beam Gen 2 on 2/7/2022. And it is on back order for 2/18/2022. and today 2/23/2022. it still shows back order and my card has not been charged yet. I have gotten word that it should be shipping tomorrow or Friday for me. If their is one thing I have learned from this experience, I should order future Sonos products from my local retail store going forward.

Tengo la sala de cine con el beam gen1, 2 sonos one y el sub y me estoy planteando comprar el gen2, ¿merece la pena, es notable el cambio en la calidad del sonido?¿qué hago con el gen1, lo puedo instalar en otra habitación desvinculado a la sala de cine como sistema independiente para reproducir únicamente música y no la tv?

Hi all, Since upgrading to a 2.4/5ghz auto switching router we had issues with our system and not been able to connect to it at all - despite the devices all being visible on the network.  The easy fix was to add a sonos boost to the system which fixed the issues with the two sonos ones used as rear surrounds.  The amp however remains an issue, the app can find it but it simply doesn't add the device including when connecting via eirhernet.  Sonos support have been no help at all with this issue so hopefully the community can provide a fix?

When the Roam launched there was an issue where, because the way BT Smart Hub worked, it would not join the network. This was due to ‘decision making’ with regard to the 2.4 & 5ghz channels. Allegedly this was resolved. Not so.I’ve continued to have the Roam missing or unable to join Airplay 2, or join & disappear shortly afterwards. I have a Beam which is fine. I’ve spoken to BT help and Sonos technical who knows how many times. They are both still advising to split & rename the two networks. Same solution as 18 months ago. Which a) is an appalling fix & b) won’t work for me because my devices are mixed & need the option of choosing consistent or fast speed I.e Apple TV.I’ve experimented with the Modes & channel banding but this destabilises other speakers & devices. Quite frankly I shouldn’t have to do this. This really isn’t good. OK BT might be partially at fault, but they have issued upgrades designed to mitigate the issue but surely if other Sonos devi

Hello everybody, I am currently upgrading my TV & Music setup with an ARC, which gives me some headache in regards to the surround limitations that come with the ARC. I hope that you guys can help me with your inputs on the options I have to make things work again.As info, I am by no means “audiophile”, but of course appreciate good sound quality.My setup currently currently consists of:Sonos ARC Sonos AMP connected to 2  3rd party rear speakers (Dali Zensor 3) connected to 3rd party active subwoofer (Dali Sub E-12F / RCA connections) connected to record player As a consequence of the subwoofer port and line-in being disabled, the subwoofer and record player are currently not in the system. However, i would love to find a (preferably cheap) way of including both. My options are:Buy a 2.gen connect / port and plug-inthe subwoofer to the audio-out channel. Would that be possible to get into the same room as the ARC and AMP? Will the sound quality of the sub and the other speakers

Hi All,I’m planning a speaker layout for a large screen-in porch (950 sq ft).It would be pretty straightforward to mount 4 outdoor speakers (powered by 1 Amp) high up on some of the posts (please see included image below).Would that sound good though throughout the space? Or do I need the speakers further apart from one another (the posts are 15 feet apart)? Or do I need more speakers for this space?I could figure out a way to do recessed ceiling speakers (4 or 6), but only with more time and expense. I’m okay making the investment if it’s necessary though.I would greatly appreciate some opinions on whether what I’m proposing will be sufficient or if I need to take a different approach.Thank you! 

I have a new arc bar all hooked up but when I turn my tv on after a few hours it defaults to speaker then the arc comes in about 5 min later plus , with my cable box plugged into the tv the Sonas app says that I have an hdmi interference issue .i then have to disconnect the cable box hdmi then the sonas plays then I can hook back up the box Do I always need the app up and running when I use the bar ?

No encuentro la opción Trueplay en la App. Settings / System/..…Tengo un Android Samsung A71Sonos play1 un par configuradas en estéreo. La versión de mi App es S2  

It has been set up and working since last October. The original setup using the Sonos App worked on the first try. I have a Fire TV connected in another HDMI port. I was working with the Fire TV remote to clear memory on the Fire TV. I lost the connection between the Sonos Beam and the TV after that. No matter what I tried the Beam wouldn’t reconnect with the TV. Thanks to every who listed here. After hours of trying, I did a search and found community. I took the advise of one of replies and unplugged my TV and the Sonos Beam. After I plugged everything back in, the Sonos App worked and connected the Beam to the LG TV via the HDMI ARC port. I am about to upgrade to the Gen 2 Beam. I hope I don’t have the same problem.

Hello,Do you know if it’s possible to deep link to sonos app?I’d like to open the app Stations section directly from a link or shortcut in iOS. Or maybe different scenario with opening the app listing my Playlists.Is it possible?

HEllo everyone, This is my first post. I am a single grandmother from Bath but was born in Portmsouth I just wanted to mention that I love Sonos but I was deveistated when the CR100 was discontinues. I paid a graphic designer to make this artwork which I have now hung on my prick boardGod bles and have a nice weekend afternoon Della  

The  split the system idea to S1 & S2 is straight garbage.  I  have over 15 sonos speakers in my home and Im supposed to start over again because Sonos wants to play games with the controller?   Now Im an angry customer whose taking a new play 5 back to the store.  Way to lose sales sonos …….brilliant idea to make new equipment that isnt compatible, if I wanted that, I wouldve bought a different and a cheaper brand of speaker.  I guess i get an old play 5 off ebay.  Because new speakers wont work with the previous models.

I previously used a Connect and an old Pioneer 100Wx2 receiver in one of my rooms. I decided to upgrade to the AMP and sadly, even though the AMP is more powerful I cannot get the same sound out of the amp. I would love to be able to boost frequencies to my liking, but the included EQ is too basic.I would hate to have to go back to the old connect and receiver. Please consider this my vote for a multi-band EQ in software.

Hi all!I have researched, and researched without finding any true direction over the past few months. I have a 65 inch TV, and I am looking to get a sound bar, but not sure if the Arc is better than the Beam. I am also looking to set up surround sound, and a subwoofer would be great too. It’s obvious to me the Beam is going to be less pricey, so wondering if I should go that direction despite the size of my TV. I’m new to Sonos, so curious about a couple of things, like how many speakers could I pair with my sound bar? For example, would I be able to pear speakers throughout my apartment to it? Also, what does it look like when changing the volume on a Sonos sound bar? I haven’t had much luck seeing it in use on YouTube, just setup videos. Any help is appreciated here, I’m fairly new to this, but excited to (hopefully) one day watch my TV and listen to music in style. Thanks!

Hello, i would like to ask you. I have a specific room for proper Sonos setup. And my questions is:Is it good to have soundbar (Arc or Beam) above the TV?    Will be a proper spacial audio from movies and music, when i have a angled roof and high roof? I am adding a picture, how the TV (55inch size) is situated.  Thank you for any answer.RegardsOndřej  

What are your thoughts on using Sonos one (gen 2) as a sound system in a wedding venue.  Currently have 3, but could add to it for the day. Looking at ways to keep costs down by not hiring a DJ.  Thanks

About a few months ago my Spotify stopped playing songs 30 seconds into playing then on my wireless Sonos Playbar home theatre setup. It would also skip songs, and sometimes out of the blue it would start playing another song without any input from me, all using the Spotify App on my iphone. I researched many threads online and even contacted Spotify. I tried alot of the suggestions provided to no avail. Then I tried the Spotify App on my smart TV and it worked flawlessly. So why doesn’t the Spotify App work on my iphone?This got me wondering why. Then I read that Sonos only uses the 2.4 ghz wireless band and not the 5 ghz band. So I checked the wifi connection on my iphone and it was connected via the 5 ghz band. So I changed my iphone wifi to the 2.4 ghz band and now Spotify works flawlessly again. At least for the last week or so. I thought I would relay this to others with similar problems. Good luck.

Bonjour j’ai un blu-ray UBP x800 Sony et ma beam ou playbar le lis pas le DTS il le prend en Stereo pourtant j’ai bien mes dernier mise a jour.
