Good Evening to all forum-users👋 I’m living with my granny and got my own small bedroom upstairs.I allready got a Ray and for radio-listening i got a Roam SL on my bedside table.. and an 32” LG smart-tv is coming tomorrow.The room is small with full height sealing in half the room,other half dropping down towards the head-side of my bed.I was wondering…and i’m on a kind of budget. Like i don’t gonna add a Gen sub(or in desperate need of a sub anyway)….if not i’ll come across a really cheep used one of course. I think the Ray got enough bass as it is.I have a pair of extra Era 100 at home,but then i need to wall-mount them…ain’t got the mounts and i only fancy purcase the orginal Sonos one’s. The Era’s can i place on the wall behind my bed,but i allso thinking of getting the Ikea Picture Frame. But they need to be mounted on the side walls so they will be playing toward eachother.I’m not gonna watch a lot of movies,just Youtube and some music during night-time.I’m open for your thought
I do not want surround sound. I want great quality audio found on Sonos app. My living room/dining room is 30 x15, Does one speaker fill my space adequately or do I need two?Is the 100 sufficient or should I purchase the 300.
I recently moved and need to add more speakers to my Sonos system due to some differences between the two houses. For example, I’m used to having in-ceiling speakers in the living room, but this is not possible in the new house so I had to use in-wall speakers. I’ve attached a drawing of the main room (~800 sf including the living room, dining room, and kitchen) that includes the placement of my current components. I have a Frame TV with in-wall speakers placed low on the same wall. I was having a hard time hearing the TV when I sat in some areas of the living room so I put a Play: 1 in the corner with my Sub as marked. I was also trying to balance the sound of music, which was sounding one-sided given the placement of the in-wall speakers, throughout the room. The Play doesn’t seem to produce adequate sound for the room so I want *one* new speaker where the Play is now and don’t know the best option. I’m also considering putting a Move 2 in the area noted. I would be using the Move fo
Hey. I am looking to purchase speakers purely for music. I understand Five’s are the best for music but my concern is with the Five’s being at the end of their lifespan and likely getting replaced soon, would it be better to purchase the era 300’s which are future proof? I have a small living room in an apartment with an arc + sub but i want to use the speakers for music. My biggest concern is purchasing the Five’s now nearly 5 years into their run and then an era 500s release within a year.
Hi, I have a Sonos roam with a Submini and I would like to pair as rear speaker 2 Sonos Era300. It will be an overkill? Thank you.
Hi there. Can I connect the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Sonos Ed. turntable to a conventional, non Sonos amplifier? C
Gents I have 0 experience with Sonos Products.However a client of mine has a 4x4 audio signa processor with an external wall mounted remote that gave up the ghost. Simple system 4 inputs (cable box, cd player, Sennheiser mic pre(lapel mic) and a 3.5mm for MP3 player.I was thinking that sonos amp and 2 sonos ports could replace this archaic system without to much trouble. My Idea is that the cable box can go HDMI into the AMP and the 2 ports can handle the mic pre and cd player. Amp feeds the speakers. For MP3 i guess its apple only and air play. The question to the community will this work.
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!
Hello!I am reaching out for some advice on how to best set up my great room (Zone 1), kitchen (Zone 2), and patio (Zone 3). We are building a new house, so running more cable is no issue. I would rather set up the house now with all the wiring ran and slowly buy the Sono’s products to install, than try to fish wire once the house is finished. Also, please refer me the best possible solution (acting like money isn’t an issue even though it is lol). Attached are two different layouts that I could see us doing with the living room furniture, so please refer the best for both layouts. Lastly, the great room ceilings are 20ft tall at the peak so that makes it interesting. The vaulted ceilings end on the dotted line between the great room and the kitchen. I feel like there isn’t a good way to explain everything so sorry for the confusion...Zone 1 - Great room:I am thinking an ARC (plugged in via ethernet) and a sub for sure, but my fear is that might not be enough for how big the room actual
Hi,I’m thinking to change my current Devialet sound system for Sonos used for TV and music. I was considering Sonos Arc but it’s huge compare to my TV. Then the Beam Gen 2 but have read bad reviews especially for ATMOS.any feedback/advices ?thanks
I'm thinking about getting the Sonos Beam as I'm mostly looking to upgrade my TV speakers/current cheap soundbar (Samsung HW-N400). So I'm looking for an allrounder that I can use for streaming, standard TV program and movies.The Sonos Beam seems to match that requirements though I'm unsure if it works for my room layout. I'm living in a studio apartment (without terrace it's about 42 sqm and if I take out bathroom and corridor its probably around 34 sqm for the main room). See following link to the room layout. I just added the bed (from where I'm watching mainly from) and the TV. To the left there is the closet. To the right is the couch, desk, dinning table and in the top right is the kitchen.Distance to TV is around 3,5 meters. Wall to the left is close but wall to the right is several meters away. Does the Sonos Beam work with such a room layout? Since I would prefer not to spend more than 500€ the Arc is beyond that budget and from what I’ve read I’m not sure if it’s worth double
I have been running on Sonos 1 for probably 7-8 yrs now-haven’t claimed upgrade credits yet and am hoping someone is just willing to give me advice about what to purchase. I “inherited” the system and love it but just am not technical-but enjoy the benefits of the system greatly. I haven’t claimed upgrade credits yet and want to use wisely. This is what I’ve got:Great room - Playbar, Sub, two Play 1 in surroundKitchen - Play 3Bedroom - Wired in-ceiling pair, non-Sonos amp, ConnectOffice - Play 1Bathroom - Wired in-ceiling, non-Sonos amp, Connect (note-hasn’t gotten audio from this for years)(I also have two Bridges not hooked up-no idea what that’s about…)I purchased a great deal on two Roams with plans to use one in lieu of the non-working bathroom speaker and one to be flexible for my deck, basement, garage, etc.Low cost solution to my non-working bathroom. BUT FAIL - It only works with Sonos 2. I don’t want to run them on a separate version, and if I would rather not knock out my be
Have a Playbar, no issues. Not sure if upgrading to Beam2 or Arc would be improvement. we are seniors.
My old distributive amp died. I have 6 zones with two speakers each. What do I need in the way of Sonos hardware, to get this working?
There appear to be 2 stands available for the Era 300s. There is one made by Sonos and the other by Sanus? Since one is significantly less expensive it would be good to know what you are getting for the extra money. Does anyone know?
Playing YouTube from my iPhone I’m considering buying a Sonos beam and satellite speakers so that can enjoy my music from my iPhone. Just reading some mixed messages… the whole point of the system is to play my music but I don’t use pay monthly music services. Will it work or do I buy a different system?
I have a small wine shop. We have indoor retail space (1100 sq ft), an outdoor deck in the front 18x30 ft, and a small bench outdoors on the side. I want to stream background music in the 3 zones and manage volume separately. I currently stream Pandora for Business. Will 2 pair of outdoor speakers and the Amp work? How would I connect iPad/iPhone to stream Pandora? Bluetooth, cable? Or would I need another device?

What soundbar works with LG OLED C1 AND Bluetooth earbuds (or other) connected at the same time? I am considering moving the Beam 2 to a different TV and buy a new soundbar.Sonos Beam 2 is not compatible. Have tried mentioned fixes from this site to no avail (including recent delay setting). Only unplugging Beam will allow Bluetooth streaming from LG C1.
Hello Sonos Community,I'm exploring small business ideas in Dubai with a focus on audio technology and am interested in understanding how Sonos products can play a role in my business venture. What are some creative ways that Sonos wireless speakers and audio systems can be used in a small business setting in Dubai? How can Sonos's technology enhance the ambiance and customer experience in cafes, restaurants, or small retail shops in this region?Looking forward to your creative ideas and suggestions!
I am looking for recommendation on speakers and placements for my room. I’m only interested in music as there is no tv in this space. There is a design layout of the room below. I can imagine a lot of different configurations from speakers on the 2 cabinets on the shorter walls to 1 speaker in the corner radiating out to both and have even seen suggestions for 2 speakers at the end of each leg. Speakers on the cabinets or floor or wall mounts? If multiple speakers I want them to work well together not cause sound interference if you move across the space. A variety of music could be listened to depending on the occaission from classical and jazz to pop, rock or blues or anything really. What is your ideal set up or what compromises would you make depending on the details. Thanks!
I have a large gym area about 12m x 5m with a double height pitched roof, what would be the best set up, 2x5s or 2xEra300 I wood have an arc on the Tv and a Sub Gen 3, any suggestions?
I am trying to set up Sonos system in each of my 4 bedrooms. What I would like is each bedroom to have ceiling speaker(s) with ability to play a different audio in each bedroom.What would be the cheapest Sonos solution?Thank you
As a new owner of a Beam Gen 2, I'm happy with the purchase, much better than what I had. That said I was expecting a little more to help my older and abused ears with television voice audio. I was thinking the addition of more speakers could help. I was contemplating the addition of a pair of Era 100's or one Era 300 (about the same cost).As mentioned they would be for television/video streaming. Home theatre benefits are great but my priority is voice audio especially at lower volumes.Thanks for any advice
Hi question: My living room size is 10'6"x8'10". It opens up in a kitchen (8'8"x9'8") and dining (7'3"x7'1") area. There are no walls between the living, dining and kitchen. Which set-up I should go for? 1) Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc or 2) Immersive Set with Beam? Or anything else? I will use it to watch TV (movies/sports) and music. Thanks in advance.
