What to get

I have a sonos beam gen 1 will this work for surround sound if I add 2 sonos one sl’s

Some while ago @countryman came up with an answer to this Question, but the eBay links that pointed to his solution have now expired. Does anyone have the answer?I have a Samsung TV that currently feeds a Sonos Beam via the HDMI-ARC socket on the TV.  I need to extract the audio from this feed so that I can drive a pair of headphones at the same time as feeding the Beam.   @countryman solution was as follows. Just need the original values of X and YAvoid the passive optical splitters.  You get what you pay for. Buy an active optical splitter such as X . Note that the identical unit on Amazon is about 3x the price of this one ! Buy a simple DAC such as Y Connect up the Samsung to the IN of (2), the Sonos Beam to one of the (OUT) and the DAC to another (OUT) Job done. 

I have an arc two subs and two ones. I won’t to be able to hear my music in other rooms.  What’s best options to group with?  

Hello! Considering the Arc or Beam but would love if I could use my existing Bang Olufsen speakers together with the soundbar and not have to get the Sonos sub. is there anyway i can do that?i have a pair of Beolab Penta and Beolab 3000 and a Beomaster 4500 amp.  is there some gadget that would make it possible to use my existing speakers with a sonos soundbar? best regardscarl  

Hi,I am planning to simplify my existing whole house Crestron system and do not want use any of existing kit which is getting old and takes up a huge rack.  Can someone confirm my understanding is correct please.My understanding is that I could get up and running using a Sonus amp and connect four wired (passive) speakers and sub to the amp and with the app I would have Sonus working in say the lounge.  Is this correct? Each amp is a zone, therefore, even though I only have 2 ceiling speakers in 2 other rooms, I cannot connect all four to an amp (number 2) as cannot control independently.  Is this correct? Assuming I have 1 & 2 above correct.  In order to control four rooms independently (using existing ceiling speakers) I need 4 amps?   Am I right in thinking the Sonos amp has the functionality of the port with the addition of ability to power speakers and therefore I don't need to purchase?Thank you! 

Hi,I am trying to figure out the best solution for my family room. The size of the room us 18X 25. I like live and acoustic music and was wondering what the best combination is? Are 2 Five speakers worth it?

Hi I currently own Sonos Arc and Sub. I have In ceiling speakers and outdoor that where already in the house. What products do i need to purchase so I can join the Lounge room in ceiling speakers into my theatre setup and also be able to choose to play music outside separately.

Hi all,  home has multiple Sonos products, many in stereo pairs.  I was going to add a turntable with pre-amp to the mix and I wanted to have those in stereo pair as well. My questions are: A: if I go with the Five, do the stereo pairs need to be close to have a split rca cable to separate left and right channels? And this would lead to longer runs of the cables if this was the case.  B: should go with 2 Fives and a port to run the turntable to the audio in, and from there can I arrange stereo pairs with the fives via wifiC: if I go with B, and the room is 20’x20’ are the fives in stereo pair too much and should consider one(s)? bonus question: will the analog output of the turntable, sound better direct from turntable to five, instead of converting to digital and using Wi-Fi for the signal and thus throw everything out the window and go for 1 five with direct input.  thanks for considering sharing your opinion! allan  

Hello Expert,I had a 10 year old tv which I already replaced with a 164cm QLED.Now i have to replace sound bar.  The old one is not worth mentioning. The room is 520 cm * around 500 cm (door on one side and kitchen at the other).My main problem is that the plan agreed with our bouwer does not have much space around the speaker compartment.  The plan may not make sense, hence sending a photo of what we started with.My friend suggested Sonos Arc.  I took some test in mediamarkt and like them as well. But the problem is that I am not sure how much space is needs above, below and on the side to give the Atmos affect.Renegotiating the agreed design with the builder is almost a deal breaker in Netherlands. And the again i might have to order the steenstrips etc, which may infinitely delay the project.Should I go for Arc or a lower variant? Or can someone suggest minor adjustment in the design that can help.Thanks a lot in advance

Hi All - Just started my journey into using Sonos following some research and guidance. I’ve purchased an Arc for TV viewing and impressed compared with flat screen speakers. However, I need to improve on the Music atmosphere in the same room as the Arc (base seems lacking for my taste for general Pop music). I know general guidance for music depends on what music you play so a good example is Kyrie by Mr Mister using Apple Music. This song has vocals, base, stage, etc. Question then, should I consider adding pair of Sonos One SL or Sub Gen 3 or some other configuration (reluctant to add both at this stage)? Thanks all for any feedback.

Hello my fellow Sonofiles,I own a BEAM which I set up just in front of my TV. I use it mostly with the TV, but also occasionally for music with AirPlay, mostly rock and jazz. I am very pleased with the audio quality.I have been thinking lately of adding 2 ONE’s, in the back of the room, left and right. The idea is to pair them with the Beam, and play together.The thing is, the financial effort would be substantial and I want to be sure it would be worth it.So the question is: adding two ONE’s to my BEAM, do I get a substantial improvement over just the BEAM, for both the TV and music, or not?Please share your opinions if you have been in my situation.Thank you. 

Hello friends,Unfortunately, today I'm saying goodbye to the LG C1 screen that served me faithfully, since I'm moving to a super bright living room, so the OLED will not having great affect  with daylight.I ordered a Samsung QN90B and I have a full Sonos system (Arc, subwoofer and 2 speakers)From a short reading on Dr. Google I understood that there is a problem with Sonos and Samsung.Does anyone have that setup and/or the same style  like the one I bought and can share their experiences of using both products together?I would love to receive any recommendation on the subject!

On Jul 10th I placed an order on the sonos website for the “Immersive Set with Arc” package and a 2nd subwoofer. Neither appeared backorder and even now on their website they appear in stock. I did get expedited shipping.I did not create an account before the order and I used paypal to checkout.It has now been 5 business days, paypal shows the payment as complete, the  money came out of my account instantly and I have 0 communication from sonos about my order. ( Besides my account confirmation email)After the order was confirmed the website asked me to create an account, i did and the order does not show up under that accounts order history.I contacted support via the web chat and apparently they don’t have access to order information?!Do I rally need to call in to get this resolved or is there someone that can look into this for me? 10am-7pm is very inconvenient for me. For a product with such a premium price tag I had hoped for better support.

hi, i have a beam soundbar 2. with the sub mini is the difference noticeable?  also improves the soundbar?

Hi! I’m trying to figure out if this setup would work or not & make a purchase accordingly. My primary goal is to have the SONOS surround experience for TV/Movie viewing as well as retaining my in ceiling speakers for music listening (or) adding the depth dimension for TV Viewing I have 4 in ceiling speakers in 2 rooms & a Sonos Amp. I plan on purchasing the ARC, 2X One SLs & a SUB. Wanting to make sure this would work: Connect 4 Ceiling Speakers to the amp (2 in parallel)- they are passive thus driving through amp Connect the 2X One SLs, SUB & ARC (Sound Bar) to the AMP (Wirelessly, I’m assuming)   That way the ceiling speakers give me the depth/height, sound-bar does the job of front center/L/R and the 2X One SLs act as the surround.    This setup also doubles up when I want to listen to music in either rooms through the app  Trying to make sure this runs before I drop $2K on all this.  

I am looking a purchasing an Amp and a pair of outdoor speakers. Given where I am the sonos out door by sonance are the same price as the B&W AM-1 which one should I purchase? The reviews on the B&W are all very good but the sonance ones have some complaints about the depth of base. Just looking to see if anyone else has looked into these types of options.

Hi everyone, I am looking to connect an old G&C sound deck music centre to my Sonos system. Currently I don’t have any speakers for it. I am wondering what the best/easiest way is to do it? Can I just connect a Sonos Five to the headphone jack at the front or will I need a 2 pin din to RCA adaptor to connect to a Sonos port and then speakers that way?  

Here is the thing: Im planning on buying a Sonos ARC soundbar for my TV room, I will add the subwofer also, and also the ceilling speakers with an AMP, and as I have been reading, I will connect my ARC soundbar to my tv thru hdmi arc or earc, and the ARC will pair with the AMP which will have the ceilling speakers connected, right? By now everything is good, butttt I will also like to add a pair of sonos outdoor speakers, so I can hear an sports game indoors, but also outdoors, or sometimes music indoors and the game outdoors, or vice versa.. my question is: is this possible? Will the ARC soundbar be able to connect to both AMPs? Will all of these sound scenarios possible? Thanks     

I have a generic turntable with rca’s and I want to play my vinyl through my Sonos system. The turntable is a stand alone component not connected to anything due to my whole house being Sonos. Correct me if I’m wrong, all I need is the Sonos Port to play it through my system, right!? Thanks in advanced!! 

Hi! How do I set up the sonos arc in cieling speakers to make a surround sound in my living room? I plan on having 2 in the living room and was thinking about installing them behind the sofa? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there, I want to purchase Five and the 2 Room Set with Arc. However, I’m unsure of what are the minimum TV specs required for them to work smoothly? Could anyone help me please? That will determine if I can purchase them now or wait until I buy a new TV :)Thanks!

I currently have 2 Play3 speakers a Sonos soundbar and a Sub (Gen 2) all connected to a Bridge.  I want to upgrade to the Arc and 2x One SL Speakers no bridge.  2 Questions.  Can I continue to use the Sub Gen2 and do I need a new wall mount?

I recently had my first stereo system refurbished, Marantz 2230 tuner/amp with a Philips 212 turntable.  I have wired speakers for the system which I will want to use on occasion.  My question is, what Sonos product would I use to bring the old system into the our Sonos system?  I have the following, Sonos Arc, Sub gen3, 2 One SLs as surround speakers and 1 Move.  I want to use the Marantz amp to drive the wired speakers and connect to the Sonos system, at the same time or separately. The Marantz has aux out.  My question is does the aux out require an Amp or can I connect to a Port?

I want to install two TV’s outdoors that are very close to each other (less than 10’ and facing different directions).  I would ideally like the idea of having both TV’s play the same video and audio signal (with no human detectable delay) but potentially play separate signals.  I thought I would deploy it like this:*HDMI Splitter: Input=FireStick1.  Output1=TV1 HDMI1, Output2=TV2 HDMI1** So far just looking at a 4K powered splitter on Monoprice.com that has good reviews.  Not sure if this brand/model is critical as long as it does proper say 4K@60hz or whatever the requirement is?*TV1*HDMI1 input=Output1 from HDMI splitter described below*TV2*HDMI1 input=Output from HDMI splitter near TV1HDMI2 input=FireStick2This configuration allows me to set both TV’s to HDMI1 and use the remote for FireStick1 to see and hear the same audio.  If I want to have the TV’s broadcast different signals (perhaps one with audio muted), I can simply switch them both to HDMI2 and use two separate FireStick r
