Sonos 100 sub mini and Era 300

Hi I own Bean 2 sub mini and 2 era 100s configured as surround. I received 2 era 300s that I would like to configure as surround and put the 2 era 100s in stereo. Can I use the Sub mini with the 2 era 100s or does it only work with the beam 2 and the 2 Era 300s. That is, can I use the sub mini with the era 100s and with the soundbar and the 300s? Thanks. Andrea

Ok at the moment I have the Eras set as surround. When I get the 2 Era 300s I'll set them up as Stereo to see how they go. But can I leave them in the same room or is it better if I tell them to put them in a new room? Then how do I select the Era 300s for example from an iPad or an iPhone? Thanks. Andrea.

 

They will have separate room names.  You switch between rooms by swiping up on the room box at the bottom of the app and tapping the room you wish to control.

Hi ​@Flyflot 

Here’s an example of having multiple Sonos ROOM’s in the same SPACE. I use the word space so as not to make things confusing when speaking of rooms. Here we go….

Space is 25 ft (length) x 18 ft (wide)

  1. Arc Ultra with Era 300’s as surrounds and dual Sub 4’s_Room Name is “LG”
  2. Sonos Five x 2 in stereo pair with Sub (Gen 3)_Room Name is “Five”
  3. Sonos Amp with Turntable, Sub Mini and 3rd party wired speakers_Room Name is “Turntable”

All rooms are in the same space.  I just select which Sonos speakers I want to use by selecting the “room” in the Sonos app. I hope this clarifies things in case you were still scratching your head 🤔

Sonos used to call Sonos Rooms - Zones, and this all was a lot less confusing.

Easy to explain having two different Zones in one room of the house.
