I have a connect amp (bought in 2016) that I used to have linked to my old hi fi system that linked to my surround sound so that I couldplay vinyl through the surround sound. how do I set this up again as it doesn’t seem to now work. any advice appreciated.
Hi everyone,I’m trying to decide between the Era 100s and Era 300s for my theater room to pair with a Arc Ultra and likely a sub under my sectional, was hoping to get some feedback on my setup.As the attached image shows, the TV is across from the longer side of the sectional, and there are two windows directly behind the couch. The picture doesn’t really show it, but the windows are recessed about 10 inches. The black boxes behind the sectional on the window sill at ear level are where I’d ideally like to place the speakers.My thought was to use the window sills since there’s enough room for either setup. The speakers would have roughly 2–4 inches of space behind them, about 10 inches on each side if I went with the Era 300s (and even more space with the Era 100s), plus plenty of room above them. The sill height lines up almost perfectly with ear level, and the sectional sits directly against the wall.Given this layout, do you think the Era 100s or Era 300s would work better? One thin
Hi All, If anyone could advise please. I am very interested in improving home cinema for the lounge. Torn between beam and arc ultra.My lounge is 8.32 meter length, 3.76 metre width. I sit width ways facing tv (so just under 3.76 meter to where sound bars will be).As the room is long so I have large windows about 2 meter to the right of sofa and French doors about 5 meter to right of me.I do not need major base and im cautious about blasting the neighbour with noise so I don't think I will got beyond 50-60% volumeDoes anyone have experience with this layout. I am concerned the psycoacoustic and immersion will be lost due to distance French doors and the sound will not be good. Also anyone had lip sync issues with beam or ultra? Planning to get new tv this year but I hear hicense or tcl have hand shake issues to. May go lg or sony but any feed back on lip sync would be appreciated. Thank you
I have factory reset my old Play 1s, can I now gift these to my daughter to set up in her new home on her own account/wifi network?
Hi, I have issues with the alarm settings on Android that made it frustrating to use.- Even when select "Include Grouped Rooms", the music does not play on all speakers (sometimes only the one selected, sometimes 2 out of 3).- When leaving the Alarm menu with the "X" button, the alert message "Your changes have not been saved" is displayed even when no changes were made. It makes it an extra step when just checking the current parameters of the alarm without applying any change.- On the other hand, when leaving the alarm by sliding down, the alert message is never displayed making it confusing if the changes were saved or not.Thanks!
I have been audiophile all my life and I just want to say this is by far the best speaker I have ever owned. Having default settings on 0 treble and 0 bass with loudness turned on with truplay activated. This is all you need once again thanks sonos and the team for creating something out of this world
I have 5 older Sonos speakers, all require being plugged in, If I want to add speakers can I buy the newer wireless and will they all be able to be grouped together and played at the same time? Thank you!
Hey, Pic is Ai but I have this unit which im thinking of resting arc ultra. Tv will be on wall. My partner does child care so im trying to figure out protection for the arc during day time. I was thinking if building a wooden case to go over it during day time and when it not in use. Anyone got any better ideas.You may ask why not put on the wall with tv. That leads me to second question.Im looking for tv to go on a fireplace or pull down tv mount thereby I can pull tv out a bit and lower the height. There are not that many mounts out there with lots only got a few reviews and untested. Anyone know a reasonable price secure/sturdy tv drop down mount. Please note im in UK so mountle mount does not ship to uk unfortunately. Just to add most of the mounts don't do brackets for soundbar too. So if I put soundbar on wall, when I pull down tv it will cover the bar which is a problem.Thanks all

I own roughly $2,800 worth of current-generation Sonos hardware:- 9 × Sonos One SL- 1 × Sonos Sub- 1 × Sonos Play:3 All on the same LAN as a self-hosted music server (Navidrome, whichspeaks the Subsonic API). Every one of these speakers is physicallycapable of streaming HTTP audio from that server, and Sonos used tosupport exactly this through the custom music service / SMAPImechanism plus the Sonos Desktop Controller.I would like a supported, first-party way to add my local music serveras a music service on these speakers, without: - exposing my private music server to the public internet, - paying for a third-party iOS controller app to do the registration, - or running discontinued Sonos Desktop Controller software.Here is what I have already tried and why each path is currently blocked: 1. Auto-register via SMAPI from a local bonob bridge on my LAN (10.0.1.204): the speakers' /xml/device_description.xml is reachable, but the SOAP registration call to port 1400 is re
Hi Sonos,I was wondering, now that Apple has allowed 3rd party devices to stream Dolby Atmos over Airplay 2, you were going to add this support to the Sonos speakers.
I have a Dining Room/Kitchen room, and open to that is the adjacent Living Room. Currently I have two Sonos Ones paired with an original Sub. I have ordered a Beam 2/mini-sub/2 Era 100’s for the Living Room, which is where the TV is. It is sad that Sonos does not let me share the Sub with Both rooms, but what are you going to do? My guess is that the original room DR/K, which is where I play music from Spotfiy, would benefit most from the Era 100s. If that were true, then I would make that room with the Era 100s and the original Sub. The Beam, for the TV room, would be paired with the mini-Sub and the Ones. Do you think this is sound reasoning? Finally, would it ever be a good idea, musically, to play music to both rooms simultaneously? Each room is about 12’ x 12’
will it make a diffrence adding a mini sub to my Home Theater set up as I already have arc ultra second gen and 2 Era 100 ?Room Size: 140 Square feetUse for: Movies and Music streaming
We have recently purchased a beam and 2 era speakers. we want the flexibility to play music independently from the 2x era speakers from our phone but we also want to have the beam and era speakers grouped to our TV. Is this possible to have 2 independent Sonos room/systems? thanks
Is it just me, or is anyone else a bit underwhelmed by how the new Play speaker sounds, especially muddy mids? This could just be my expectation vs. ….It doesn’t sound bad, it just doesn’t sound $279-ish good. I’ll always remember how great the first listen of my Arc/SL 100s/Sub3 was, now updated with a pair of Era 300s; and still is!Other considerations:The build quality is excellent It was super easy to set up I’m listening via wifi with lossless codec from AppleMusic Auto True-play does very little, if anything It would be nice if Sonos would engineer a multi-band EQ, like every other modern speaker on the market ...instead of relegating us to the bass/treble only I’ll definitely give it a week, but like with the Beam and Ray my first impression seems to be the one that sticks. Both of those items were returned.
I have two play 1 speakers and I want to be able to stream YouTube to them by adding a speaker with airplay 2. What would be the most cost effective option? Thanks
Sorry if this is the wrong place to postHello and good afternoon! I was curious if perhaps anyone on here may be able to assist me with an issue I ran into regarding streaming content and my Sonos play bar please. I have 2 play bars and a sub but I’ve only ever used them for music, however I purchased a new TV recently and I’d like to set up the Sonos system to work with the TV. The television is Samsung 85” model U8000F. Unfortunately for me the tv does not have a dedicated optical audio output for a cable connection to the play bar, so to overcome this obstacle I acquired a device called the Insignia audio extractor (links below) in order to connect the play bar to the tv. The Tv does have ARC/EARC in one of the HDMI ports as well, but the extractor only supports EARC I believe. After I got everything set up I experienced difficulty with streaming content not loading/not working/strange error messages. I thought it was a Disney plus issue at first, but that wasn’t the only service I
Songs downloaded on my iPhone, I was previously able to play on all Sonos speakers. Now AirPlay to Sonos One is not communicating with the other connect amps
When playing my television, which has a Sonos arc ultrasound bar, and subwoofer, the speakers driven by the amp are cutting in and out constantly. How do I fix that?
Why is Bluetooth stereo pairing still not possible with two Roam SLs?I recently contacted Sonos Support and was told this feature might eventually be added through a future update. Honestly, I really hope Sonos listens to the community on this one.The Roam SL is almost the PERFECT portable speaker:compact lightweight great sound easy to travel withBut there’s one huge missing feature:👉 Using TWO Roam SLs as a true stereo pair in Bluetooth mode.Right now, stereo pairing only works over Wi-Fi inside the Sonos ecosystem. But when traveling, hiking, staying in hotels, going to the beach, camping, or simply listening outdoors, Wi-Fi is often unavailable or inconvenient.Imagine how amazing this would be:put two Roam SLs in a backpack connect directly via Bluetooth enjoy real left/right stereo sound anywhereMany other portable speaker brands already support Bluetooth stereo pairing, so it feels like the hardware should absolutely be capable of it.This would make the Roam SL one of the BEST
