Sonos for a retail store

Hi there I am trying to set up some sound for a retail store.  The store is about 50m2 (500 sqft). It’s a dispensary so I def. want to create a vibe in there but not blast it super loud.  Behind the counter there is a flat surface with plenty of space to put a record player and speakers. Am I better off buying two fives or 4 smaller ones with a sub ? How would I connect the vinyl player to the system ? I know it can connect to the Fives, can it also connect to smaller speakers ?  Since it is a retail store with rotating staff I want something fool-proof, so a wired solution between record player and speaker is preferred over anything Bluetooth.  Thanks for any help !

Sonos One pairing question

I think I know the answer to this and just need confirmation: I have a Sonos One. Is a second one the best way to create stereo sound in a single room or is a different speaker recommended? Thanks!

Hijacking turntable output?

I have a Pro-Ject turntable hooked up to my Sonos 5, which plays happily through my other Sonos speakers.So clearly it’s getting converted to digital somewhere along the way – my question is does anyone know how to tap into this digital stream so I can get the audio into my Mac? I have a bunch of records I made when I was a young lad that I’d like to import into Logic and mess around with – but I really don’t want to have to buy a new USB turntable just for that!

Sonos products evolution and voice system

Hello,I’m new here but I use sonos product since many years.I currently use :few Play : 1 2 Play : 3 1 Play : 5 (Gen2) 1 Play one SLWhen I saw the roam annoncement, I decided to write this topic to share with you. I’m realy interested in this new product. The format is nice, the ability to use bluetooth are realy attracting.But, I have the same fealing as when you created the Play One to replace the Play : 1 :Oh my god! If I want to move to it, I will have no choice… The voice control service is imposed… I don’t want to have any of those system in my flat.None!I want a system to ear music with home/room intégration and as much as possible good sound. I don’t want anything listening to me in my private life!That’s my choice and I don’t think to be the only one thinking like this…. I’m sure this functionality is apreciate by many of your customers, but not by some others (I am one of them)... So when the Play One SL arrived, I was reassured.Will you do the same with the Roam : will there

Sonos for my Office

Hello, We are thinking about getting a few Sonos One Speakers for our office. I am not familiar with this system so I have a few questions to see if it will work how we want. If I buy 4 Sonos Ones, can they all be controlled separately? We would like to be able to all listen to the same thing but also change the music for each “zone” if we want.Can I have 4 different users control the Sonos app?

Recommendations for adding to the Sonos Arc

Just purchased the arc for infront of our TV that is in a high ceiling living room.  I want something behind the couch; however the open floor plan/kitchen will limit me to ERA 100s.  There are however two inwall old speakers above the couch and I just saw the amp and inwall set up.  Can I combine the amp and arc?  Will that give a good surround sound?   plan for the subwoofer down the line at some point as well.

White Sub Backordered..

I used my 30% upgrade to purchase a White Sub to go with my 2xFives and Beam. It says it’s on backorder and it doesn't have estimated ship date, in fact they haven’t even charged my card yet. However, when I add a white sub to my cart without my 30% upgrade discount it shows the sub as in-stock ready to ship.Any idea why?I feel like refunding it, save my 30% upgrade for later and rebuying it at full price.

Non-audiophile needs some speaker/HT guidance - open concenpt

Hi everyone,im in the process of doing a family room remodel and want to take the opportunity to have a better HT setup.Some background: I am not an audiophile (appolgies ) I have little kids Something that is simple that works through the TV is my preferable approach (utopia of 1 remote). I really don’t want to have an amp or somehting I need to switch on and play with to watch tvI intend to get a Samsung Frame TV with a Sonos Arc.This was really all I wanted todo, however I have an open concept living area, the family room and kitchen are one large space. There is no wall between the rooms, the couch is the separator.Im concerned about noise from the kitchen impacting the ability to watch tv. I thought maybe having some speakers in the ceiling above the couch may help with the noise transfer and make watching tv more enjoyable and help cancel out some of the noise coming from the kitchen.I see sonos have ceiling mount speakers. Am I able to wire these in and have them work with the

Don't get anything - Sonos can't be trusted

After spending thousands of dollars on Sonos products they’ve now released an “update” that makes all of it mostly unusable. They added no features, they improved no functions, all they did was incorporate advertising. Now I have to scroll through crap adds on my phone before I can try to play music on the speakers I paid stupid amounts of money for. That is, if I can even get it to work given the app fails to work and/or outright crashes most of the time. And on top of that, I’m now getting relentless emails, text messages, and popups advertising their headphones. As if I’d ever give them another dime. Learn from my mistake - don’t buy app connected or controlled hi-fi gear. This is what happens, even if the company has been trustworthy in the past.

How to have a multiroom system audio with external space for restaurant

Hi everyone,I am new in this community and i would ask you, that are more expert than me, how to create a system audio, using sonos, for a restaurant that has multiple room and external space.This is the structure:External space (200mq) ----- main hall (150mq) ---- secondary hall (50mq)I was thinking to put a Sonos Move in the external space, in the middle of the space (no cable).Two Sonos ONE SL in the main hall and a sonos one SL in the secondary hall.Between the external speaker and the main hall’s speaker will be more than 30m, same with the one in the secondary hall.I would like to play the same music in all the spaces.The audio source can be in the main hall.Can i group, using my WIFI, all the devices and play the same music? (the source can be a phone or must to be connected to spotify?)In case the WIFI is not working, can i connect the device between them using some chain link system, maybe based on bluetooth or wlan?Thanks

Adding Sonos Amp

Hi, I have a Sonos playbar, Sonos Sub, and two Sonos One’s for rear surrounds. I would like to add a nice pair of floorstanding speakers (Monitor Audio Silver 500s) so I’m thinking about buying the amp. Does this still give me a 5.1 set-up. I’ve heard if I add the amp, then the playbar centre speaker doesnt work ?

Sonos Arc plus what rears?

Hey! I just upgraded to the Arc and have 2 Play 1’s for rears. I also have the new sub. Just wondering if jumping to the Sonos Fives would be worth it? I have a 16’ x 22’ movie room and I’ve read that the Fives are “too much” sound in smaller rooms. Thoughts? Thanks!

Turntable to multi room

OK, So I’m enjoying playing records and have hardwired via a 20m RCA lead my turntable into one of my existing Connect Amps. Have a 7 room set up with ceiling speakers in the house.The cable is unsightly and a pain, and to hide it will be a major job.I’m trying to get my head around the following:If I buy another Connect or connect amp, put it next to my turntable and wire the turntable directly to that but no speakers, can I then get it to connect wirelessly  to the existing Sonos network and play records throughout the house?
