Home Theater

B

I was wondering if it’s possible to add a pair of Sonos Ones to my existing home theater setup. I currently have the below 3.1 setup, ideally I’d like to add the pair of Ones for a 5.1

Current setup - Sonos Arc, Amp (powering 2 rear Sonos in ceiling speakers), Sonos Sub

If it is possible, how do I add it to the existing setup via the app? The app makes it seem as if I can only add additional in ceilings (see attached screenshot). If it’s not possible, would adding an additional pair of in ceilings be the path of least resistance for what I’m looking to achieve?

The screenshot shows that you can only remove the surrounds. Not add more. You are able to add a second sub if you have a Gen 3 already.

Sonos does not allow for additional speakers to be added as surrounds. You can create another room with a stereo pair, then group it to the theater room, but there will be some delay when watching TV.

Just to clarify a bit.

Sonos Sound Bars are at least 3 channels, Left Right and Center.

You can add two surrounds that are at least one channel each.

You can add up to two Subs or one mini-Sub.
