upside down mounting

Hi
Does it make any difference in term of sound quality and output if I mount my play 1 upside down on the wall?
Reason I do this so I can easily see status light access to the button

Hi binh25

Welcome to the Sonos community

I do not see a problem with mounting any way you want. But... I do not ever touch or look at my speakers only, listen to them Not sure why you care about the buttons? I guess once in a while if the phone rings or the wife yells at me I have to press the mute button?

My Sonos system is rock solid 100% of the time and your system should be too!

I am guessing it is so as to make the buttons on a high mounted speaker accessible. Upside down is fine, as long as the speaker is pointing to the general direction of the listening area.

I find the buttons to be very useful for the many times I don't know where I have misplaced my phone!

yeah, I mount mine around 2+ m high and access to the power that power these speakers are in the attics which a hassle to get up 🙂 being able to see the status light at the glance I know if the speaker is on or off or has some other issues is more reassuring if there is no change in sound quality.

I've got a pair of Play:1s mounted in my kitchen/breakfast area using the Flexson mounts, which allow you to have the speakers upside down or right side up. I chose upside down as it hid the cables a little more since they're near the ceiling, but the sound is the same either way.
