Hi all looking for some help on how to get a 5.1 working (I think I know answer but would like confirm)
current items:
Sonos Beam Gen 1
Sonos Sub Gen 2
Sonos One SL (two)
I tried to add two sonos era 100’s today but obviously they didn’t add to the beam gen 1 system on my tv since it only supports 2 speakers.
Question is, if get a new beam, will that solve my issues? Will I be able to then do the 5.1 system?
thoughts and insights appreciated.
thanks!
No. Sonos implement a 5.1 system by incorporating the Front Left, Centre, and Front Right channels into the soundbar. So a soundbar, sub and two rear sounds represents a Sonos 5.1 system.
You can add the two Era 100’s if you are running an S2 App system but these would appear as another Sonos room and not bonded with the Beam.
Ah. So there is way to add 4 speakers to a beam or arc ? It’s always 2 + sub?

There is No way to add 4 speakers in any Sonos Home Theatre setup. The highest level is a 5.2 setup with two subs (Version specific), two rear surrounds and a Soundbar.

No, there isn’t. Soundbars are not designed to be center speakers.

Please note that if you add the two Era 100’s and you then group them with the Beam, there will be a noticeable lip sync issue between the Home Theatre system and the grouped pair of Era 100’s.
