I’m looking to make a big purchase soon for the beam and sub mini.last year I seem to recall a 40% sale around September. Is there any information or insight into whether they will run this again?? Thanks in advance for your help.jay
Hi folks; I have a restaurant with 6 Sonos One’s in the dining room. They want to have the option of using a stereo line level sent to the Ones rather than the app. Is the AMP an option? Is there a piece of (3rd party) hardware available to stream to the One’s? Maybe a raspberry pi?The AMP would be great because then I could get them to add a couple of subs.Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! TIAGlenn
I want to create 3 standalone zones in my house and needed some confirmation if I have the right Sonos equipment:Zone 1 - ARC with Sub and 2 Ceiling Speakers + AMPZone 2 - 2 ceiling speakers and AMP (This zone can be tied in with Zone 1 if need be)Zone 3 - ARC with Sub and 2 Ceiling Speakers with + AMPThanks
I have an ARC, Sub (gen2) , and 2 Ones for rear surrounds. I have an option to make another purchase. this can either be: Option1: Era 300Option 2: second Sub (gen3) Reading some comments here, the Era300, whilst good, may not be that HUGE an upgrade vs the Ones as rear surrounds? I am also starting to hear some distortion, rattling on my old Sub (gen2). this could be placed in the rear, and I get another Sub (gen3) for the front. which would you think is the best bang for buck , best performance upgrade?

Hello, I would like to improve audio in my 20 m2 room. Now I´ve got two sonos era 100 set up as stereo speakers. I just listen background music troght sonos radio. I´m satisfied with bass performance, but most time I sit in the middle of the room and i would like to listen more surround music, not just from one wall. My question is if it is better to buy beam gen 2 or 2 more era 100 speakers and place them to the opposite wall. Beam gen 2 has google asistant which I use with plenty of my smart home devices. Era 100 have in line connector and bluetooth so I can play videos from PC, but if I pair them with beam it is not functional. Now I dont have tidal or any other service to listen dolby atmos music. For the future when it will be dolby atmos more common it is porobably better to buy beam 2? Will i get better sound from 2 era 100s with beam 2 or 4 era 100s What is your opinion, experience ? Thank you.
Whats the best way to connect a computer with wi-fi card, analog stereo equipment and smart tv. I’m considering Sonos amp or port but not sure what kind of speakers would work for all the various sources.
I am told that Sonos have outdoor Google Assistant wall mounted speakers. I have power and even Cat6 data cables installed. Speakers are to be mounted on verandah under cover with some weather exposureCan smart speakers be operated in a stereo configuration? What can anyone recommend ?
Hi - Long time owner of Sonos systems (I have two houses) but so frustrated with neither system working any longer I’m looking for any alternatives that work. Any suggestions / recommendations? Cost isn’t much of an issue as long as it’s similar or less to Sonos. I don’t like just taking all this equipment to the dump but that’s what I’ll do (versus trying to sell bad systems to others or even giving them away) once I source and install new systems. Thanks for the help!

Hello.I have an old music system (record player, cassette and CD player) with passive speakers.*I send photos of the team.I want to be able to play the three players on the Sonos speakers and from Sonos to be able to play on the passive speakers.I want to keep choosingWhat is the best way to do it?I had thought about buying a Sonos amp or buying a connect:amp.Connect the amplifier output of the equipment to the amp and the amp outputs to the passive speakers.Could it be?Would there be problems when listening from the old equipment on the passive speakers from going through two amplifiers?Is there a way to connect the old stereo without going through the old amplifier?Sorry if any questions are stupid, but I'm very new to these topics.
We are building a new house, and I would like to equip the living/dining/kitchen area with Sonos ceiling speakers and Sonos TV audio. I’m new to Sonos equipment, so I’m still learning how this might work.The room measures 31 feet x 30 feet, with a vaulted ceiling that is 9 feet at the walls and 11’-6” at the peak. There will be a lot of hard surfaces -- kitchen counters and cabinets, large glass doors, hard-surface floors with rugs -- so I’m not expecting perfection, just hoping for a decent listening experience.Our goals are to have TV sound come through the ceiling speakers when watching TV programs while working in the kitchen/dining area; have music available through ceiling speakers in the great room area when not watching TV; and have a surround system (or at least a soundbar and sub) in the TV area for dedicated TV viewing.After reading a number of forum posts, I think that a setup along these lines could work:Four wired 8” Sonos Architectural in-ceiling speakers, two above the
Hi,Hoping to get some advice from the community about the best way to play CD’s in my system as I own some discs which aren’t on streaming services.I have a Beam, sub and 2x play 1’s in a single room.From the research I’ve done, a cd player or turntable must have a built in pre-amp in order to work with sonos, however I dont know what I need to look out for when browsing - dont most cd players have a built in pre-amp?I’ve found a couple options but dont know if they’d work? Im looking for a solution that isnt going to break the bank but sound decent.https://premiumsound.co.uk/product/hifi-separates/cd-players/pro-ject-cd-box-e/?attribute_pa_colour=black&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Pmax&utm_medium=ppc&utm_term=2085378&utm_campaign=Pmax17507541004&utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_term=&hsa_acc=9363011116&hsa_cam=17507541004&hsa_grp=&hsa_ad=&hsa_src=x&hsa_tgt=&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_s
Hi. I’m looking to add a turntable to my existing setup, as birthday gift for my wife who is nostalgic for vinyl! From the research I’ve done the world of vinyl seems more complicated (and expensive!) than I imagined. I’m still undecided if the best route is to add to my Sonos system or purchase a standalone turntable and speakers. I currently have a beam, sub and two play ones in the lounge linked to my TV with the two play ones acting as surrounds and a seperate Sonos one in the kitchen. Am I correct that if I buy a turntable and era 100 with line in this will allow me to send music to allmy other speakers? Would the era 100 be sufficient? (I believe the 5 is a better option but adds more expense so was hoping the existing sub etc would assist) TIA
Hi everyone, I'm new to Sonos and looking for advice on setting up a multi-room audio system. What are some best practices for optimizing sound quality and connectivity across multiple rooms? Any tips or recommendations for a seamless experience?
I work in a small office with around 8 people sitting in the same room. The space is an old shopfront, so fairly narrow and deep in plan. We are looking to upgrade our speaker system in the office for the volume of music we play to be more equally distributed than if one person is playing from their desk. The Sonos Era 100 seems like a good solution, with two sources of sound instead of one. I know the set of 2 you can buy are meant to be in two separate rooms, but what are peoples experiences using this system, or the Symfonisk for that matter, for similar purposes? Would there be an issue with latency from the speaker further away? If they are used as a stereo pair, does the separating of the channels sound strange when you’re sat closer to one of the speakers? Thankful for any thoughts on this. Thanks.
Hi, I have an Audio-Technica Bluetooth capable turntable. I have an Arc, sub gen 3 and two Era 100’s in my surround setup. Is my best option in playing my turntable to get a port and play through my setup or get a couple Bluetooth speakers and play independently?

Hi I have beam 2 a pair of era 100 arrived today and setup as Sorround.i want to buy a sub mini.it is a right choice?What improvements do I get with both movies and music like Apple Music or Tidal?Thanks.Andrea
Yes, you can invest in Sonos with confidence despite what you might read in this community regarding issues with the new Sonos app. Let me explain…Generically speaking any updated and/or re-built software that has been generational is primarily designed with the latest gear and future iterations in mind. However, software engineers also build in backwards compatibility so as not to leave behind and/or cause problems for customers who have already invested in the company’s products. Sonos, while succeeding in some areas of the Sonos App ground-up refresh; failed in others, such as app stability and feature retention. Thus, causing pain for many of its loyal customers. Replacing missing features is being addressed on a steady pace. However, IMO those should not concern a new buyer as quite frankly you can’t miss what you never experienced/had. The app overall performs as it should. 🙂Having said that there will be those that say missing features should concern a new investor in Sonos ge
I’m so lost I’m looking to fill a 700ish sf studio with music as well as wireless mic connection, could I buy a Sonos Connect and run 2 play 1s off of it, would it play both the mic and the music? Is there any other option?

Hello, I have a sonos arc and I was thinking to buy another sonos equipment. What would you guys recommend 2 Sonos era 100 or Subwofer 3? Thanks!
Hi Everyone. Just wondering in surround mix set up:Bean Gen 2, Sub gen 3 as front and One Sl plus One gen2 as back speakers. Does back speakers will work same as there were either both SL or both One’s gen 2?One Sl with One gen2 in surround will have same performance?Thanks in advance
Is it better to buy one Move 2 speaker or 2 Sonos Era 100 speakers. I use my Sonos’s at my home for indoor and outdoor use at the same time, and sometimes only inside or out.
