Will the Sonos Ones work in this room for surround sound

I’m buying the Sonos arc and wanted to get the Sonos Ones for surroundsound but with the weird room layout I don’t know if it will work correctly. Would it even be worth it? If so how should I set it up, location wise?

Planning for new construction

Hello. I’m a longtime Sonos customer at home, and I’m now building a small cabin that I want to prepare for a good Sonos setup. It would be on the first floor, which is essentially one (not huge) great room as shown in the attached drawing. It will be music only (no TV), and the goal is somewhat more than “background music” but somewhat less than “critical listening.” Most of the listening will probably happen in the kitchen area while cooking, but I’ll want sound throughout. Would the best bet be Sonos Ones mounted high in the corners of the front and the back of the house? Or something else? And when you’ve got, say, four or six speakers in a “great room” setup like this, is it better to do two stereo pairs or just group them? Thanks very much for any insights you can offer!

Beam2 + Sub Mini or Arc for my small / mid room

Hello guys,I'm looking to upgrade the sound setup for my TV (LG OLED 65 C3). I'm willing to spend around $1000 for this upgrade, this has landed me on either a Sonos Arc or a Sonos Beam2 with a Sonos Sub Mini and later on also get the surround. I live in small/med apartment and not sure if ARC is overkill for that room. My room is only 22m, looks like this LIVING ROOM Also not sure what combination is better if beam2 + Sub mini or Arc. What is your recommendation?Thank you!

HDMI IN

Sorry I am new to the world of Sonos.. just bought a house that has a compete sinks system.   I want to input sound from a firestick.  What I thought I would do is get a hdmi splitter that outputs a RC cables.  Then purchase a Sonos PORT which then would allow that sound to be broadcast on all the other sonos speakers . Is this correct ??

What setup for our room?

Hi all,recently bought an Sony 65 inch X90J and are now looking to add a sound setup.Our TV-room is in the basement, height to ceiling is about 6,9 feet. The room is L-shaped and the TV is around the corner like the picture below. The distance from wall where tv stand to next wall where sofa is are about 10,5 feet. The totalt width is about 20 feet.Now we want a good all round setup without spending to much (ie sub, soundbar and rears). I am looking at either Arc alone, Beam gen 2 alone or Beam gen 2 with Ikea Symfonisk as rear. Given the room layout which option do you think will do best?

Listening to music with a Beam 2 + Rears vs front facing dedicated stereo pair of Era 100s

I have a small room with a wall mounted, head level Beam 2 and 2 x Play:1s on floor stands at head level on each side of the sofa, slightly behind my sitting position. The Play:1s add a lot of bass in sa mall room, I tried a Sub Mini but the room size doesn’t need it.I've ordered a pair of Era 100s using the 30% upgrade code and thinking of keeping the Play 1s purely as surround speakers and using the Eras as a stereo pair, facing the sofa, just for music playback.I've been listening to music using the Play 1s and Beam but thinking it's probably not the best way to hear music, with the ones behind me.Am I right in thinking that a dedicated speaker group pair of Era 100s facing me is the best approach?

What Products Should I Use

Hello! I recently purchased and built a new home but did not install any surround house in the home. I currently have a Sonos Beam and two Sonos One SL that I purchased from costco for my living room TV to play TV/Movies and music from my app/smart TV. I am curious what I could do for my kitchen, entryway and covered patio for sound - is it possible to purchase the Sonos AMP and place in-wall speakers from another vendor in the respective rooms? If I went that route could I create different zones such as;  Living Room TV//Speakers  Entryway Garage  Outside  All Speakers playing the same What can I do to add-in a wall control inside and on the back patio? Can I use the Brilliant controls to connect my Ring cameras, Sonos Audio, etc? What’s the best wall control to use so that we could turn it down without needing to go to a mobile device on the Sonos app? Is this possible to do? What would I need? Could I set them to all be on the same account//zone?

what to buy and how to set up

Hello, I am trying to establish a limited setup on a deck which is located outside of a living room. The deck has a new smart TV (TCL) which is entirely wireless. The deck has 4 in-ceiling wired speakers and two under-deck speakers facing the pool. All of the speaker wires go to an AV cabinet in the adjacent living room. What I want is to be able to watch TV and project the sound through all of the wired speakers and/or to have the TV silent or off and have music playing. How would I accomplish this with my current setup?If I hook a beam up to the TV and put an amp inside connected to the speakers, would that accomplish my goal? Would I need another amp to establish two zones (in-ceiling vs. under-deck) If I’m totally off, please educate me!

sonos roam en batterijduur

Graag ervaring van personen die al de roam gebruiken. Volgens verschillende topics zie ik veel klachten betreffende batterijduur die geen  10 u en ook geen 10 dagen in stand-by. Klopt dit ? Of zijn er gebruikers die hier geen problemen mee hebben? Mod Edit: Added English translation:Like experience from people who already use the roam. According to various topics I see many complaints regarding battery life that is not 10 hours and not 10 days in standby. Is this correct ? Or are there users who have no problems with this?

Is there a way of getting discontinued Play 1

Does anyone know any website apart from eBay and other marketplaces to buy old discontinued Sonos Play-1. I already have a Play-1 and recently bought a Beam 2. I would like to pair the existing Play-1 with the Beam to setup surround speakers. Since the old Play-1 and One SL can’t be paired I’m looking to buy the old Play-1. Upgrading to two One SLs would be expensive for me. Any leads on this is much appreciated. Even if someone is willing to sell, happy to make an offer.

New system planning

I am in the beginnings of an extensive remodel and planning to use Sonos for home audio.I will have in ceiling speakers in one bedroom, kitchen, and likely the living area (which is in the same open area as the kitchen. i will also have a pair of outdoor speakers in a covered porch.If I desired to play different audio in each of these zones, then the speakers would have to be connected to different amps, correct? In other words, if the bedroom and living room are on the same amp, they would only be able to play the same audio right?

Whole Room Audio: Multi TV + Turntable

Trying to solve for the below goals using the SONOS ecosystem and I’ve been back and forth on how to accomplish. Improve my GreatRoom TVs built-in speakers (Beam/ARC)  Create AirPlay option and power speakers for turntable that sits directly behind TV area  Output vinyl/TV audio signal across all speakers on network (e.g. listen to vinyl on soundbar) Last, I have an additional TV on an HDMI splitter that I’d like to share audio/speakers with main TV Will an ARC/Beam + SONOS AMP (+/- 3rd party bookshelves and sub) accomplish what I’m after? I would like the option of using the sub on either TV/Vinyl signal, and by a similar token, have the option to listen to vinyl across all speakers on the AirPlay/SONOS network.

best system set up for long through room

0 repliesHiim looking for recommendations for best most suitable Sonos set up for our morning room which runs into the galley kitchenthe Morning Room is 12ft x 12ft and the kitchen is 17ft x 9ft. At the moment I just listen to music and radio on a 2nd gen play 5. We are putting a tv in the morning room and I’d like stereo sound, I’d also like the option of having a speaker at the far kitchen end for when I just want music or radio in the kitchen. It’s rare that the music is played at any great volume, just want the quality therefore thinking of Sonos Beam with Alexa under the tv, poss 2 x SL Ones in the morning room and then 1 x SL One at the far end of the kitchen, and then sell the play 5. I gave an arc in my living room but don’t want to spend that much on the set up for these two rooms. any thoughts/ suggestions for the best system for this room combination  thanksdave

Why upgrade the Sonos speaker system?

Why would I want to upgrade my current Sonos speakers/playbar when it never ever worked perfect. You can’t get help with the crackling noise, you can’t find answers for your situation here at the website. You spend over $2000 on this and you would think you will get a good sounding system but it a piece of crap. I wouldn’t recommend this system to no one.
