Would my Sonos beam gen 2 work good with one era 300 In my condo?

You would need two speakers to use them as TV surrounds.

You could group them together and they would just play the same thing as each other to give sound throughout the condo (you can’t group for TV sound though, that would give a 75ms delay - you need to properly set up surrounds for that.).

Buy it and try it. If it doesn’t do what you want, return it during the returns period for a refund.

Yes… but when things don’t work as people assume they will, aren’t we then the first to moan that people haven’t done their research?

It’s hard to know how well a speaker will work (by “work” I was assuming “sound”!) in an unknown room though. If the question is “how will it sound in my room” what research can be done? 😜

Thank y’all ☮️


Just wondering will there be a delay in sound if I group a beam gen 2 and 1 x era 300 when streaming say YouTube on tv.  Just wondering can this set up be used this way or will the grouping only work for streaming music and not tv 


If the TV is sending the sound to the Beam via HDMI-ARC, the Beam will be synchronized with the TV. In all cases, when you group a second room with a TV connected device, there will be a slight delay when using the TV’s signal, so your single Era 300 would have that delay. When a pair of Era 300s are ‘bonded’ with the Beam as surround speakers, they become part of the same room, and there is no delay.

If, instead, you’re streaming music to both rooms, and not using the TV to send the sound to the Sonos Beam, both ‘rooms’ would be in sync.
