Speakers

Hi all. I have sonos amps and wired speakers throughout my home but would like more bass in my great room. Can this Klipsch Reference R-10SWi be added to the newer sonos amp wirelessly? I have 4 wired speakers in my ceiling wired to the sonos amp and want to add a cost-effective sub. If this Klipsch won't work, what will besides Sonos subs? Does the sonos amp provide enough power for my 4 speakers and a sub?

I recently purchased a Play:1 for my kitchen. I am able to connect to and select Pandora and other sources with (2) different iPhone 5s's and a iPad Mini all running iOS 7.0.4, however the actual iPhone or iPad do not show up as sources in the list of music sources. The Sonos bridge is connected to an Airport Extreme and I've confirmed that I'm able to connect to the Play:1 on both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz frequency bands. I am very frustrated because i can't stream anything other than internet radio and really wanted to be able to stream podcasts.

I know this has been mentioned before, but thought I'd chime in as another user who would appreciate a Sonos portable speaker solution. I'll quickly summarize my use case, some workaround/aftermarket solutions, and what a Sonos solution could look like. Use Case - Our medium size house on a small lot has a front yard and porch, back yard and porch, and narrow side yard with garden and shed, all places we spend time either relaxing or working or both. The porches have electricity, but not where I would mount or place a speaker, so adding Sonos speakers there requires a 15'-20' extension cord for a temporary solution or electrical work for a permanent install (which would then be an opportunity for theft). The side yard/garden/shed has no electricity and requires a 50'+ extension cord to get power to. A key point is all of these locations have WiFi coverage from the network my other Sonos speakers are on. Workarounds - I own a number of Bluetooth speakers that I usually use in thes

I did a little analysis of the Sonos device range and the graph makes it clear that the newer devices, that support Alexa and AirPlay, need a lot more memory/storage (32x more in fact) than the early players. Also makes the reasons behind the 65,000 track limit pretty obvious.

Hi! In documentation on sonos I read that to use One over WIFI I need Sonos bridge. And in some revues on Sonos Controller App people wrote that in actual version thay can't connect One to the existing WiFi network and it works only wired. If I have router Netgear wndrmacv2 with my WiFi network 2.4 G "W.net", will One be connected to it withuot Sonos Bridge?

Your confirmation number is: 1648661356. Keeps cutting out. I’ve changed channels and uncompressed/ compressed etc. Reset and moved boost.... getting annoying as a lot of equipment.... regards

Desperate to get one over here. Please share with me if you received one 🙂 🙂

Will Sonos use this new hardware or do you guys make your own? QCS400 SoC series. And if so, which product will you implement it in? You probably won't answer that Cuz that would spoil future announcements I believe? Hopefully I get somewhat of an answer. https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2019/03/19/qualcomm-launches-new-ai-enabled-highly-integrated-socs-and-dedicated-smart

c'mon sonos - please let us know when the outdoor speaker will be available. it would be an industry leader and i am holding off, as well as many others, until it's release. thanks guys and keep up the great work.

I have problems with my Sonos speakers. They are wirelessly connected to Google WiFi and have been working ok for 1,5 years. Lately I have daily black outs on the sound.... Can anyone tell me if they are both 2,4 Ghz and 5,1 Ghz compatible? I have two Play 3 and one Play 5 - and both are the old discontinued models. They are from 2012.

Sonos devices on average consume about 5 watts each if idle. Having 5 sonos devices around this means 25 watts on average idle consumption. Over a year this is about (25x24hx365) 219 kwh. In Germany where 1 kwh is about 0,30 Euro Cent this then means about 70 Euro (about 100$) just to maintain an idle system. This is just too much and could easily be reduced. Looking at the environmental aspect this gets even more critical: There are around 2.5 million Sonos devices around. This adds up to 110,000,000 kwh or 110 million kwh.

When will SONOS introduce outdoor speakers?

Is there a problem with the Sonos Network. My surround speakers have dropped off my system which I cannot reconnect and the left surround in my bedroom has dropped off and also refuses to be added. Any ideas guys. This is driving me nuts. Even with a retune and true play they still don’t work!!??????

I'm planning to pair 2 Play:5s for stereo playback. The document "Selecting a location for your Sonos speakers" includes this about vertical vs. horizontal orientation: "While positioning the speaker in vertical orientation may be necessary for certain spaces, it should be noted that there is no stereo playback in this orientation. The speaker will play in mono." Why is stereo playback not possible with a vertical orientation?

Hey everybody. If you got the sub I would like to hear your opinion. I just got the Sonos Sub, and for music it is perfect. First I would say that im not an bass-fanatic. So its not because I would like everything to shake. My livingroom setup is a Beam + Sub. I have runned Trueplay, and thats not the problem. My problem is when I hear music the sub-level is perfect around 60-65% on the adjustment bar. But when im seeing an action movie, I barely notice the sub at that level. I have to push the sub-level to 80-90% on the adjustmentbar. I tryed Netflix, HBO and other streamingservices on my Apple TV 4, and I also tryed the apps on my Samsung smart tv. No difference. I checked sound settings and everything. Is it really true that I shall re-adjust the sub-level everytime I switch between music and movies? Do you got the same problem?

Hello, I grouped together a Play:5 and a pair of Play:1. As I understand a group can share different features of the hardware, like line in or pause button and a pair of speakers can share the hardware volume control. So the techology definitely exists, but how can I actually share the volume control with hardware buttons in a group, in other words control the groups volume by pressing volume up or down on just one speaker? (Analog girlfriend does not like to use the controller app, but needs to adapt the volume of the group every here and then.) Thanks.

Hi, Just ordered a sub to finish off my setup and I know they have a gloss black finish and I'd like to keep it as perfect as possible. I have seen a couple of fabric skins out there but I wondered if anyone here had come up with or know of any other solutions? Thanks, Andy.

Similar questions have been asked before of the One gen 1/Play 1 offerings and whether or not they can be used as a pair with an AMP and a sub as part of a 2.1 configuration. The consensus appears to be a no, but wondering if the One gen 2 changes that? I am looking at getting the new AMP and a decent pair of bookshelf speakers, but before I take the plunge wanted to know if the One Gen 2s could be considered as option on my bookshelf shortlist. Thanks!

Hello There are a lot of threads asking the question_”Beam vs Playbar/Playbase which should I get?” We all know that the Beam offers more features (i.e. HDMI_ARC, Alexa and AirPlay2). The biggy is sound; IMO primarily vocals/speech, as to how will it fairs in a room of X-Size. The obvious answer is given by Sonos: I’m going to offer my opinion and feel free to agree or disagree because as I said it’s my opinion. Having both a Playbar and Beam I’ll say this... Playbar/Playbase Out of the Box they win hands down versus the Beam; as room size is a non-issue (to a point). More speakers (given Sonos engineers drive for perfection) equate to better music reproduction. Vocals and speech are handled well without augmentation. The Beam Music wise it’s better than a Sonos One or Play 1 as stand-alone’s and I dare say the discontinued Play 3. I wonder if there's a replacement in the works for the Play 3. :? Using those same speakers in stereo pairs the Beam falls short. Vocal

Hey everyone, I'm wanting to mount my Play 1s to the wall and I'm well aware of the many options but I'm not sure what to do about the power chords. What creative solutions have you guys come up with?

Hi all, want the get my play 1s mounted on the wall and have come to these 2 makes. The flexon and sanus. Any recommendations for which ones to get. Tia

I was thinking of getting a One for the bedroom but the thought that it might actually be worth getting a Beam and attaching to the bedroom Tv. That way we could listen to radio/music and use it on the tv. Has anyone else tried this and if so how do you find it?. Thanks

How do I connect my samsung sound bar to my Sonos play 1? I don’t see a spot to plug in the optical cord on my play1.

Overall I am pleased with the implementation of Airplay 2 on Sonos. Yet, it could (potentially?) become better. Therefore I have two questions regarding Sonos as Airplay 2 Speakers on the Home app / iOS: 1. The speakers, when added to the Home app, serve to indicate to Siri their physical location (i.e. room), however, nothing else is possible, not even knowing the status of the device (if playing or not), let alone controlling it (e.g. simple Play/Pause). Here's how a HomePod speaker looks: and this is how a Sonos speaker looks like: Question: will this ever change? Will one gain more functionality? I know the HomePod is an Apple product, so this may be a limitation by Apple, which they overcome for their own products. Anyone knows about it? 2. Airplay 2 "Players" such as the HomePod or Apple TV show up as independently controlled sources of content. Here's how it looks on an iPhone seeing multiple sources and targets: For example the Apple TV "VC APT" can be an

Coming out of its IPO last week there was the strong hint that the company will be releasing products at a high velocity. In the last year they seem to have started along this trend with 3 major releases in just over a year (Playbase, One, Beam). Certainly one of the areas they have been criticized on this board and elsewhere is their slowness to add new products to their portfolio. It is said that they have some new and exciting ones. What are your expectations of the ones likely to follow and that you want / need to see follow in the next 12 months? I will start with the following: 1. A new Play 3 with Alexa and of course AirPlay 2 compatibility. Think it has the potential to be its most versatile product particularly if Google assistant added. 2. A smaller sub would be great to pair with the Beam. This will make a great setup for smaller rooms - I think the current sub is a bit overkill and mismatched. 3 New PlayBar with Alexa, Airplay and maybe Dolby Atmos What else woul
