What to get

Hi there, I have a Sonos Beam with my TV and am considering turning it into a stereo setup by adding two Play 1s or two Ones. As far as I understand the main difference between the Play 1 and One would be voice control. However, wouldn't it be possible for me to group the three device and then voice control the group using the Beam, or am I missing something here? Thanks in advance!

I found past thread where it was mentioned that the new Amp can be wired mono, did this happen? Thank you

Hi guys. I have a friend coming from Mexico and he could bring a "gift" since, in Brazil, we cant buy the Sonos products. I have already own a playbar and a play 5. I live in a small apartment (80m2 or 861 ft2) and I want to add another sonos to the environment. Which should I buy: another play 5 or the first sub? Regards

I just bought a new car and I am enjoying my time in the garage more now. I usually bring in one of the Play 5 speakers and it sounds great. Would you mount two play one or two play 5 speakers in a standard two car garage for nice sound when I am detailing?

A discussion of Sonos speakers for outdoors listening.

Are all speakers outdoor speakers ?

I’m looking for three speakers to go on the wall’s in my recently renovated and extended kitchen dinner, which is quite large and has two distinct areas. The dinning area has a very high ceiling so has a large space to fill with sound. I’m undecided - should I go big and buy three Play 5’s or three One’s and a Sub. Reading other discussion groups the One’s would benefit from a Sub and they also have Alexa built in which I would use with my Hue lights, but would the Play 5 provide a much better sound and I then use an Alexa dot? If there is going to be a replacement to the now discontinued Play 3 before Christmas then that could be an alternative option that I wait for?

Hi all, My wife and I are in the process of fitting out 2 dance studios - both 8m x 7m x 3m. We have had a studio in the past, and used a more traditional receiver/ amp/ passive speaker setup. Was initially heading towards that again, when I thought perhaps Sonos could work? And if so, what setup? While I did do quite a bit of research on Sonos about a year ago for our home, I haven’t really used the system myself (ended up with a more traditional setup at home in the end). We would have 2 classes running different music simultaneously, and being controlled separately by 2 different teachers - I presume this is possible? Thanks in advance!

The image is my living room, I have a small rented flat and I was wondering with this layout if there is any point to have a 5.1 setup (consisting of 2 of SONOS PLAY:1, 1 of SONOS PLAYBAR , 1 of SONOS SUB and set of floor stands) I know it’s odd but I mainly use my beanbag (I really don’t care for a sofa lol). I don’t have much room but I was wondering if it can be connect wirelessly (speakers, sub and sound bar) i really don’t want to bother with wires unless it’s for the power. Would I need anything else like a sono bridge? My wi fi is in the kitchen (stupid place I know) and i have a sonos up stares to play my radio stations on my hi fi in my bedroom. I will be getting an Xbox one (which model I’m not sure??) to play 4k too. Kind regards

I know this has probably been asked before but I hoped to ask the question a bit more specifically to my situation. I currently have 5 Play One speakers and would like to learn how to play Vinyl thru them. Been trying to piece together how to do this. Seems like i just need to have a turntable with RCA output (preamp not necessary) and a Connect:Amp and then I should be able to play my albums on the turntable, thru any of my Play:1 speakers via my phone Sonos App. Is this correct? Before I go out and drop $350 on a Connect:Amp I want to be sure this is what I need. Thank you for you help...Andy B

could I output the sound from a MacBook Pro wirelessly via a Connect to an amp whilst watching the movie via an HDMI connection tp an outdoor projector?

I am going to set up a Sonos system with multiple (3) zones. I have six Play one speakers and a Playbar for TV. I plan on having one zone upstairs and two zones downstairs. Do I need any other Sonos hardware or can I just simply set what I have up and create zones through the Sonos connect app?

Does anyone know of any black friday deals coming up on play 1s or 3s? If so where?

Hi All Moving to a new house which has a downstairs surround system consisting of a Yamaha Amp with 5 indoor speakers (inside surround for projector room) and 2 outdoor speakers on the pool patio. From my understanding, it contains MusicCast and can be separated (ie TV inside and music outside etc). I currently have 2 play 1’s, 1 Play 3, and 1 Play 5. My question is, is there a good way to establish a whole home system with individualized components? My tech guy is rwcommending another Yamaha system on the main level with in wall speakers and Music Cast. My original idea was a Sonos Beam and Sub on main level TV with the two play 1’s as sureound. Using the Play 3 in my bedroom and my play 5 somewhere else. Then buying a connect to control the entire Yamaha system in the media room. I realize I’d lose the ability to control the 5 speakers inside and 2 outside with the connect, but I could do this on the Yamaha amp itself. Does that sound like the best way to contro

I am in the process of building a new home and would like to utilize the Sonos system throughout my house and need some guidance. The first floor family room, kitchen and dining room is a open concept design so sound will travel. Setup: Home: 6000 sq ft All whole house 16-2 speaker wire will be run to the basement to a central location where I will plan to house most of my audio/video equipment. What type of receiver will I need to run the home? 2 channel with Bluetooth, Airplay, DTS play etc? Besides Spotify and Pandora I cannot think of another source I would like to broadcast throughout the house. Wired in ceiling speakers: 5 sets (mst bedroom, mst bath, outside, screened porch, and kitchen). I would like to utilize the Sonos app through. 4 independent zones since the outdoor speakers and the screened porch will share a zone. If I chose to buy an external amp instead of the Sonos Connect Amp how many watts does each channel need? My reason for asking I am trying to d

Hi guys I went through the community topics and found a few posts about similar issues i am facing, however not the exact same one. Here the challenge: I have a projector and an apple TV. Now i am looking for a sound system to connect those products together, with the least cables possible. I was thinking to get a Beam. But: As the projector (and apple tv box) is behind the coach, i would not like to have a cable from the projector all the way to the front wall (about 4-5 meters). I have read about the approach where you put a HDMI switcher/spliter between the projector and the apple TV/Sonos, however, this would really not be practical as then i have a cable from the back of my living room all the way to the front. Is there any other way around that? I am thinking Airplay II etc... Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, so I am opening a new 2200 sq/ft PT office which was previously a clothing store and previous owners left 8, 70volt in ceiling speakers I plan to reuse in the general open space of the clinic for low volume mellow music at all times. I also have ~350 sq/ft enclosed studio where we will conduct group exercise classes. I know I need 2 zones to play different music in each space but wondering if I can use a connect with a separate amp to run the zone in the general space with the 70 volt speakers. Don’t think I can use a connect amp because it won’t work with those speakers? In the studio room I am deciding between adding a separate connect amp and 2 new 8 ohm speakers which will be pricey or if it would be adequate to use 2 play 1s or maybe 1 play 5? The music in the studio will be louder but will never need to be cranked. Also looking for which amp to buy to attach to the connect? Thanks

Hi all, just wondering if anyone can verify the web store Sonoseshop.com It looks slightly suspicious and the porices are rediculously cheap - discounts of 90% + My guess is... if it looks to good to be true, it probably is. Has anyone ever purchased from there? Thanks in advance.

Hi there, We just bought a house that has speakers installed in the ceiling. There are 2 speakers in the living room, 2 speakers on the front deck, two in the master bedroom, and 2 in the home office. It was all connected on the Nuvo system with controls built into the wall in every room. Unfortunately there's no amp or receiver (not sure, I'm not big into audio). We want to be able to control the speakers through our phone rather than relying on panels in the wall. We own two Play1 that are just plugged into the walls in a couple places. What's the best way to link those speakers to Sonos? Or do I just abandon the approach and grab some more Play1s and scatter them throughout the house. Also...is the sound bar worth purchasing for the television? Thank you matt

So I'm looking for a little guidance around a decision I have to make. I'm kind of new to Sonos so any help would be appreciated. I have the Beam on one TV in my house. Love it. I'm in the process of buying another Beam & Sub but I have in ceiling surrounds that I want to power. I also have outdoor speakers I'd like to power as well and looking to link them all together and still have the ability to expand down the road with some Play1s. My question is what do I need to do this? Can I use a Connect with an 3rd party amp? I assume if I do this I lose the surround capability. Do I want the Connect Amp? This would give me the surround capability but I could not separate the outdoor speakers if I connected both the outdoor speakers and surrounds. Do I wait for the new Amp and just use that with a speaker selector? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I just bought a multi room Sonos speaker system that is great. It all works and syncs with airplay 2. The only room without sonos is my main living room which has a denon receiver sub and speakers. On my iPhone all of my Sonos speakers show up and I can play them all at once. The denon receiver also appears and I can play it. But I can’t play it at the same time as the other Sonos speakers (whereas I can play all the Sonos at the same time) Do I need a connect to be able to do this?

Excuse me in advance if this is an obvious question or if its been answered before. I would like to buy a Sonos Sub but i wanted to check in advance if this is the thing to do. Here's my configuration...my Sonos Bridge is connected to my modem. Sonos Connect is attached to my traditional wired amp which has four speakers and a subwoofer wired to it. My subwoofer is now damaged and I'd like to buy the Sonos Sub. I've been told that its not possible to have a Sonos Sub communicated with a Sonos Connect. Does it make any difference that I have a Bridge connected to my modem? Would the components work together? Any help would be appreciated! Chip in Toronto

Hi. I have a sonos play.1 and 2 Echo speakers. If I buy the Sonos Beam, can I use the 3 aforementioned portable speakers as the surround sound for tv, with the Beam?

Hi, I have a retail store with two rooms- one is 2600 sq ft, the other is 1100 sq ft. I want to stream music from a desktop computer, mostly from internet radio, pandora, spotify, youtube. I want the volume and sound to fill the room nicely, but not be too loud for conducting business and having conversations. Occasionally we will have a party and want to crank the sound. I'm thinking of 2 Play 5's for the larger room, and 2 Play 1's for the smaller room. Does that sound about right? Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm Italian (sorry for my basic English) and finally after years of savings we've bought an house :) It's under constructions, we're moving on May '19 and I'm planning to buy a Sonos device(s) for the combo kitchen and living room, the area will be 39 square meters. Our needs is to fill the room not only on the front of the sofa, but also in the kitchen area, I've attach the room layout. Our use it's about 20% watch movies in stereo (may be Netflix in the future) and 80% listen to music by TV/smartphone through Spotify (free) or Synology NAS App. We've an Apple TV 3rd gen. and only Apple phones. The TV will be replaced before moving with a brand new OLED LG with HDMI-ARC. I've read others posts, but I'm still confused if the best for our needs will be beam, playbar or, ironically 2xplay3 for the sofa and 1xplay1 on the top of the Kitchen. Alexa isn't available now in Italy, it's in beta, but I'm not "exciting" about that. Very thanks for any helps!
