Spaces & Setups

We have a commercial multi-studio environment. There are a total of 15 studios (each 120sq/ft avg) which are leased independently with a common corridor and common wifi. Looking to see if a Sonos set-up in each room with each lessee would work?...So, 2 speakers per studio separately controlled

I am buying a new TV and want to add a Sonos sound bar to it. But I also want to integrate my existing wired two speakers and sub-woofer. Is this doable?

I recently ordered a set of Focal Aria 936 speakers to run with my new Sonos Amp. Before ordering, I verified that the speakers are nominally 8 ohms. However, I now see that they actually dip to 2.8 ohms during some playback. See here - https://www.stereophile.com/content/focal-aria-936-loudspeaker-measurements This is slightly concerning as Sonos in other threads has stated that the Amp is only stable with 4 ohms loads. My question is will this transient 2.8 ohm dip cause issues with the Amp's protection circuit? Obviously, even a speaker which is rated at 4 ohms (and thus within Amp's approved specifications) may sometimes dip below that depending on the source material, so I hope this dip for the Focals will not be an issue. For what its worth, I called customer service and received little guidance. They said that any dip below 4 ohms would immediately cause shutdown (which is hopefully not the case), but that any dip below 4 ohms while the speakers are not playing would

The new Sonos Amp is great! There is one thing I appreciate you think about. I have different sources (turntable, TV/ARC, Amzon Music, Spotify) to play music from. If I switch from Spotify to my turntables the Sub does not make the same sound and I have to adjust it (increase). If I switch then to TV mode I have to decrease the bass settings again. This feature request is about looking for a way to save settings for treble and bass per device, or per source, so I don't have to use the app every time I switch from one audio source to the other.

Anyone know if the beam would work with the audio technica player?

Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience? I sent a Playbar (£699) back for a refund over 3 weeks ago, this was part of the 100 day money back guarantee as it had been purchased 2 months earlier. The next working day i received an email to say it had been received and a refund would be issued within 7 working days. This did not happen. On the 8th working day i phoned to query and was told that the refund had been done (i now know this to be a lie) and the money would be with me by the end of the week and to phone and query again if i didnt get the refund. Come Friday, no refund. I phoned again on and i was told by someone that were looking into it and they would create a ticket for me. An hour later i received an email from Sonos opening up a case for me with the message 'Unfortunately we are not able to do the refund back to your original method of payment as the authorization that was taken from your payment has expired. Hence we would like to procee

I have a PLAY:5 v2 speaker which I use in standard setup (ie using the home WiFI network) and I understand that if I connect it directly to the router a seperate mesh network will be created. My question is this. I control my music from an iPhone. Can I access the Sonos speaker while connected to my home WiFi network or do I have to be connected to this SonosNet mesh network?

Hi I am trying to design a 5.1 surround system for my new apartment. I am, installing a projector which will extend over a floor to ceiling window. I am having a problem finding a position for the front & center speakers. My question is: If I mount a Soundbar on the ceiling next to the projector screen but about 24 inches above the top of the projector video, will that affect the sound image and feel "odd"? I believe that the Sonos 5.1 setup does a great job of ironing out speaker placement issues but I am downgrading from a $20,000 installation and would like to maintain as faithful a sound image as possible. Having not ever owned a Sonos setup before I do not know whether it is as good as suggested or a bit of technology doing wonders but not quite making the grade. Expert thoughts would be very much welcomed. D

Which product/system works best with SONOS, Google Home vs Amazon Echo Dot?

Hello everyone I have to buy the new TV, it is important that the TV decode Dolby Digital decoder, DTS? I have the playbase, sub, 2 play3 THANK YOU

I have my playbase hooked up to my TV, but I am not getting sound when watching my Roku 3. Playbase is optically hooked up to my TV and the Roku 3 is hooked up through the ARC HDMI input on my TV. TV setting is on external speakers and on the app it is not hearing sound during the setup. Hardware below: Roku 3 Samsung UN46H7150 46-Inch 1080p 240Hz 3D Smart LED TV (2014 Model) Playbase, just arrived today.

Some soundcloud files that I added to various Sonos playlists are missing during playback. Nothing to do with my internet connection as other soundcloud files continue to play.

I have a pair of Totem Arro's being delivered Wednesday. I have an Amp connected to the original Bose Acoustimass 5's now, and looking forward to the Arro's with the Amp - hoping Sonos can make these sing...I also have a Sunfire HRS8 subwoofer to try out. Anyone driving "decent" speakers with or without a subwoofer and how do you like the sound. Have you compared the sound to other amplifiers in the same price range. Also thinking about getting a turntable to add to the system, got a buddy with tons of LP's and he's willing to lend me some until I build up my own collection. I realize TT's can be inexpensive and also over the top (relative) can anyone provide their experience. Cheers!

I need to move my CD Collection off my hard drive and onto a NAS so I don't have to open my computer everytime...also how should I be ripping? FLAC? Lossless? AIFF? Which will give me the best quality?

I’ve got a Sonos one, and both Alexa and Siri up and running. I’ve got my Hue lights coming on automatically when I get home. All good. Except I’d really like a selected playlist (or anything for that matter) to start playing also. I have ecobee sensors and geo fence, if that’s relevant. Any ideas?

I installed my new Pro-Ject Essential III Turntable into my SONOS Sytems using a SONOS Connect box that I had been using with an old stereo. I have the Line-In set up correctly with Line-In Source Level set at the Max of 10. Even with that high setting, the music only gets to a moderate level when playing on my Living Room Playbase and two Play-1 combination with the speakers also set to max volume. It is fine for moderate/casual listening, but not loud enough to “crank it” or use at a party. Would the Connect-Amp provide more sound? Or, should I switch to Play-3 or Play-5s?

If anyone is looking to buy these expensive sonos mounts, think twice. I purchased 2 of the playbox mounts. Upon having my amazing electrician install them, my play1 speakers keep hitting the end piece of power cable. the power box that they include is not deep enough. After many videos back and forth to Thenos support, they claim there are "tricks to installing them" ok i said. They sent me pictures of their power outlet and it's different from the ones they included in my shipment. Their power outlet is deeper. i tried to call them 20 times and it always goes to voicemail. I tried to get in contact with the business owner but he refuses to reach out. His secretary is the only one responding after i threatened to do a chargeback. When you watch their installation videos, they make it look so easy LOL. Well it's not. I spent good money to have my electrician install these pieces of crap. I finally got one of them installed after many attempts with a screwdriver to pry the

I'm in the process of wall mounting my sonos playbar and while working through it I have come up with a few issues that I'm hoping others have solved. The first is when you wall mount the unit, the standard optical cable when plugged into the playbar sticks out past the bottom which doesn't look very good. I purchased an optical elbow, but now when I try run the optical cable through the small hole in the middle of the wall mount bracket, I'm unable to bend the optical cable enough to get a flush mount. Has anyone solved this optical cable problem? Also, does sonos have a cover for the cable connection area that can be installed when wall mounted so that none of the cable connections are visible?

Hello I have had a Sonos Beam since about July 2018 and I'm loving it. So much so I expanded my setup to include two Play 1's to create surround sound and a Sonos One in the kitchen. However there is one thing that I can't quite work out. When I turn the TV on from Stand-by sometimes the I get no sound when connected though my SKY+ HD box. I have to use the AV switch on my Panasonic TV to change to the SONOS ARC input or the TV Ariel input channel. The sound then starts and I have to wait for about 5 - 10 seconds before I can switch the input back to the SKY+ HD input ( HDMI) and then it will work. This does not seem to affect Airplay or Alexa etc so I'm not sure what the issue might be. I have tried a re-setup and power down etc but the issue returns. Anyone have this issue?

Hi everybody 🙂 Question#1: I need help to pick the right speaker set.. I buiding a new extension (50 m2/550 ft2) to my house and I'm planning to use 2 SONOS Connect:Amp (probably going to switch those for 1 or 2 SONOS Amp later) for 2 pair of in-ceiling speakers to create 2 listening zones. What will be the best speaker set for me? BOSE Virutally Invisible 791 or the new speakers from SONOS/Sonance? I'm going to pair the Connect:Amp with a Sub for a richer sound 🙂 Or do you recommend a different type of speakers? Question#2: I'm considering connect the Connect:Amp to a TV, and I've heard of some kind of delay. Is this a issue? If I switch the Connect:Amp that will be connected to a TV with a Sonos Amp instead, and use the 2nd Connect:Amp for a listening zone that's about 5 meters from the TV - and then connect those 2 (Connect:Amp and the new Amp): Will there be delay between the 2 zones?

Hey all, I am considering to use SONOS in a new business I have opening up and thought I would see whether other users here have had any experience using SONOS in a business environment? Keen to hear the goods and the bads and also whether there are any good commercial music services that you would recommend? I have heard about Qsic (www.getqsic.com) which seems to be a good commercial option here in Australia/NZ - has anybody used these guys before? Cheers

I have some funny shift patterns so it means I can end up watching TV when the rest of my family is in bed, rather than have to use the TV/Beam I thought it would be best to grab a set of good bluetooth headphones for such occasions. It seems with the Beam being 'always on' my TV always reverts back to receiver (Beam) after selcting the headphone connection....the only way I can use my headphones is if I unplug the HDMI ARC connection which isnt ideal. My TV is a Samsung NU7400..not sure if its a Sonos thing or a Samsung thing. I think an option to sleep the Beam or turn it off somehow would resolve the issue.

Please add where we can use the Line-In selections as a Sonos Favorites! It's easier for family to select a Favorite than to know what Line-In means. Thanks!!!!!

Hi there. I am about to purchase a sonos product to connect my regular floor speakers to my Sonos system. Do I want to buy the new Sonos Amp and get rid of the receiver or am I better off buying a Sonos Connect and using it through the Sony receiver. Currently I have a Sony Str-DN1000 7.1 channel receiver. I use Sonos mostly for music, but will be upgrading to a surround sound system some time in the future. As of now I have 5 rooms connected with a variety of Sonos speakers but I want to use my nice Pioneer floor speakers with the system. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I wish you would consider adding a few more robust features to the Pocket Casts app Jump forward or back 15 (or 30) seconds Ability to delete cast after listening Change playback speed (1.2x, 1.3x, 1.5x, etc.) Create a slider to progressively move forward or backward though cast - you do have a very coarse one currently.
