Shop Sound Setup Reccommendations

I have built a new barn and looking for recommendations for a Sonos setup. The area overall is 48’ x 48’ with 17’ Ceilings. In that 48x48 area there is a 12x 24 area under a loft for a tv/entertainment area then the other 12x24 area attached to that is an office and bathroom. I’m looking to have a entertainment area sound hooked to the tv sound with my current Sonos Ray, however when i want music I’m looking for recommendation on the larger area and looking to be loud. Also Have a 12’ x 48’ porch outdoor area i would want speakers for as well.Any help is much appreciated.

Using Sonos beam with AVR - will it be mute with the AVR volume turned down?

Bit of an odd question.In my living room I have a projector and both a sonos 5.1 set up (Beam gen 1, symfonisk bookshelf rears, sub gen 2) AND a Denon AVR 5.1 with five ceiling mounted speakers.We mainly use the sonos sytem because the ceiling one is really loud in the small children’s bedrooms. My Denon AVR is really old and has only one HDMI input so I have a separate HDMI matrix for all my inputs - apple TV, firestick, XBOX etc.I send the audio signal to both set ups and to the projector using this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B4PPH211/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1I am considering getting a new AVR, a DenonX3300W that has lots of HDMI inputs and still using the above audio extractor for the sonos beam, so I can choose between the two surround sound systems.But what I can’t work out - the only way to use the Sonos system would be to have the AVR volume turned all the way down, and then turned up on the Sonos Beam. But - as the AVR is responsible for th

Symfonisk Stereo Pair not working

//SOLVED// I just picked up 2 new Symfonisk speakers. I have 2x Gen 1 Symfonisk already. My old ones are in Stereo pair. No issues. These new ones will not allow me to pair. I’ve tired this wired (ethernet), wifi disabled. Wifi on, ethernet unplugged, hard reset of the speakers, reset the router. Nothing. The speakers work. Play music, no problem. Tried multiple streams and all ok. But every time I try to create a stereo pair, I this. ISP Distributel - CanadaRouter/Modem - Deco X50 EDIT// After about 2 hrs on the phone trouble shooting this with Lvl2 tech from Sonos, here was the solution. We had to reboot the entire Sonos network in my home, not just the speakers we were using. There was a mismatch with my Home ID. This is internal to Sonos, but was solved with a house-wide reboot. So far so good. Choose the right speaker. Ok!Looks like it may work.Nope!

Set up recommendations

Dear Sonos hive-mind Currently have:Single Play:1 Gen1 (I got one of two in the divorce 🙄) Bluetooth enabled turntable plugged into a mini hifi and wired speakers. But also used with separate BT speakers. Bluetooth headphones (Sony WH-1000MX3)Want to be able to play the following in multiple rooms:vinyl CDs and tapes - currently use stereo streamed music (Bandcamp, Spotify) streamed music from iTunes library on iPhone and/or iMac Need to be able to play separate sources at the same time (small person uses Play:1 at bedtime to aid sleep)Don’t care about TV input. Question 1: Can I plug multiple analog sources into a Sonos system?Question 2: If not should I still get a Sonos Amp?Question 3: If not should I get a Play:5 Gen1 for the turntable - if so can I still listen to vinyl on other speakers in other rooms? What would you recommend?Moderator edit: edited at request of author

setup for kitchen / dining area

Hi, Need some advice on a setup for a kitchen dining area. The space has a rectangular shape with the kitchen in one end and dining table at the other. This space also has a door that connect to the garden. I currently have an Era 300 and I love it. We use it for casual background music when cooking and dining and occasionally crank it up for party occasions etc. I will need a portable option (Move2) to bring out into the garden etc. My first thought was to have my 300 in one end of the space and the move2 on the other and group them. When I need the move2 outdoors it will be close to where I need it. But I read that while the 300 is great on its own it’s awesome as a stereo pair. So I’m thinking of having dual 300s in one end of the room to take full advantage of the setup. We do 90% of all music in the kitchen and there will be a fixed listening position as we move around in the kitchen or sit by the dining table.So I’m not too sure I would benefit so much from having dual 300s in o

New app A/B with S2

I've not updated my main main system (3x play 5, Arc Sub and 2 x Play3 surround, Move and a Symfrnisk) to the New App instead I've created a separate smaller system with 2 x Play1 and a Roam.With this setup I've been able to monitor the progress of the new app hopefully to a point where I'm prepared to update everything to it.Sorry to report that it's not there yet (I've read the blog post that implies new exceeds old in responseivness - not true in my case).Main issues with the new app on latest iPhone release 80.12.03 are.1. Local library is never accessible from the home screen, it's there and playable via search or direct selection but the home screen always says 'no longer accessable '2. It's still laggy, particularly when changing tracks, volume control is just about acceptable (but there shouldn't be any at all).3. Every time on opening the app or bringing it back to foreground it briefly (sometimes many seconds) says no system found.4. UI/UX, ok it's a matter of personal taste

Sonos Arc Ultra (Gen4) and Sub 4 can't connect to Wifi

I just upgraded from Arc and Sub Gen 3 to Arc Ultra Gen4 and Sub4 (and 2 Era300), the generation 3 devices were working very well via Wifi but yesterday when I changed them to Gen4 I am realizing that these do not work via Wifi, I called to Sonos support and I spent 1 hour talking to them and they didn't make it work, the answer they gave me is that I should connect it with a network cable only (incredible but true), that for me is not an option since I paid about $3,000 for a state-of-the-art device which cannot connect to WiFi.They had to escalate the case to Sonos 2nd level Support and they still haven't called me nor have I received an email to schedule the call. At the moment I do not recommend that you buy this new equipment since it does not work via WiFi.

When will sonos fix the alarms so spotify will play not the dreadful chime?

When will Spotify and SONOS Fix the alarms so Music playlists or radio plays on alarm chimes? Losing the will we first reported this in 2021. This function is still not working on my Sonos. I used to play perfectly with free Spotify account.I bought Sonos speakers for this reason. I feel like I’m due a big refund. Everything has been discontinued over the years. One ceo apology letter this year mass produced for all email subscribers and it still not working.At this point I need a timeline of fixes which is completely normal in the tech world. All these new speakers are being released with inferior software or apps.I can set the alarm to different songs or radio and nothing works but the chime. 3 years later and no progress on this fault

Two sets of rear channels? (Amp & eras?)

HiI have a friend with a Sonos Arc, Sub & an Amp running in ceiling speakers as rear channels.As I understand it, the Sonos Amp cannot be used to run the ceiling speakers as height channels. If he gets an Era Stereo Pair to run as rear speakers, can the ceiling speakers continue to be run as rear channels in parallel with the Era rears?CheersDavid
