One room - Sonos Beam, Era 300 and Sub mini

Hi, I use Era300 for music and Beam for movies. Today I added a Sub Mini to the Beam and I'm wondering if there is a way to connect and pair the Sub Mini to the Beam and Era300 at the same time - all three devices are in the same room. Switching the sub connections in the settings every time is frustrating. Thank you :-)

There is no way to connect the sub to both speakers at the same time. If you had a pair of 300s and paired them as surrounds for the Beam.

So it's just as I thought. Too bad there isn't a simple toggle in the settings for what the current sub connect to. Having to deal with pairing and measuring the room again each time doesn't make sense. Thanks a lot for the confirmation :-)

It makes good business sense… a seperate sub for each “room”.  The Sonos ecosystem is designed so that once you have a room setup and tuned with Trueplay, it is set. Any changes made to that room and you will need to retune the room.

Maybe i will buy another sub mini for Era300 :-) - someday :-) It does not make sense - money value - but… :-)
