I’m about to purchase a Sonos set up and wanted to check my thinking. I want the Beam (2) and I can connect it to two One SLs for surround sound on the TV.If the TV is off and I ask Alexa to play some music, will the Ones both play the music as well or just the Beam?If so will the sound balance out? The TV will be in the corner and the Ones on either side of the couch facing the TV. It’s a fairly large room too.
Hi all, While these are probably basic questions, I’m new to most of the technologies I’m asking about so It’s a bit overwhelming to search for info when you’re not familiar with the terminology and products 🙁. My current setup consists of older LCD connected to Apple TV and a Denon receiver which is connected to a set of regular speakers. I want to migrate to Smart TV, ditch the Apple TV, and replace the Receiver and speakers with two Sonos Five in the living room with the option of later adding subwoofer, and several One’s spread around the rooms in the house. All speakers (or at least the ones in the living room) will be connected via ethernet. My use cases:Connect my Roon (which is running on a NAS) to Sonos. I’ve already checked that this is possible (with few limitations). Have the option to connect the Smart TV to the speakers in the living room but have it trivial to switch between sound from the TV and speakers. Note, I’m not interested in Home Theatre Surround setup. Regardi
I just put up a tv on my outdoor patio. Currently there are two speakers mounted on the ceiling. These speakers are hard wired to my living room but not plugged in. So I have an issue with a tv located outside and speakers wired to the inside and can’t get the hdmi to the amp. What is the best recommendation for using those speakers with an amp or just buying new Sonos speakers for outdoors?

Hi, I have a few Sonos Ports to control in ceiling speakers in different parts of the house. Right now I have a few small amps but would like to consolidate that into one multi zone amp that can control 4 different inputs and outputs independently. Any recommendations on an amp?
Hello Sonos community, I would like to connect my video projector to a Sonos device, the Sono Beam Gen 2 seems most appropriate with the HDMI. Anyone already tried ? If not, do you recommend another product? Thank you for your reply and help ;)
I am going to set up a secondary multi room system using Sonos One SL in 3 or 4 rooms. My main system is a Lyngdorf system which is not multi room. I need to decide whether to buy new Sonos One SL’s or for half the price I could buy secondhand Sonos One (Gen 1). What are the main differences between them ? It is possible that one of the SL’s could be replaced by a Sonos Five so the same question about Five / Play 5 Thanks
My main system is in my living room and is not a multi room system and I now want a multi room system for 3 rooms in the rest of the house. I am thinking of buying three One SL’s but need to understand if they will do all I want. I have a subscription to Qobuz and a sizeable collection of flac tracks on my PC and want to be able to access these. I also want to be able to play podcasts from my IPad and also listen to radio stations. I want to create playlists which can be accessed by any speaker I want to be able to play something different through each speaker at the same time. Will 3 One SL’s be able to do this or will I need to buy a Port as well
Hello. So I currently have a beam and 2x play ones in my living room. My question is a straight choice between adding a sub the existing set up or swapping the beam for the new arc which I believe is alot more powerful. Either option would be similar in price.If anyone has any thoughts or experience with this any input would be greatly received. Thanks in advance.
HiI know there have multiple questions similar to mine. But, not quite the same. So here goes.I have an ageing Onkyo TX-NR1009 AV Receiver and KEF KHT3005SE 7.2 Egg Speakers and wireless subs. I love my system and it was expensive at the time. In our old house I had wired in and it was sweet. However, we have now moved and It’s pretty much impossible for me run cables to rear positions. So I’m thinking I maybe buy Sonos to provide coverage to the hard to reach spots. The way I see it I have a few options. Even though I don’t know if they are technically possible They are in my order of preference.Buy Sonos and incorporate it into my existing setup to provide the rear speakers and other awkward positions. But also use Sonos to playback through my existing speakers Buy Sonos and keep it separate from my existing for either music or TV only. Don’t buy Sonos and find a way to make existing rear speakers wireless - any ideas ? Buy Sonos and dispose of my existing hardware - rather no
I have a Beam 2 which is connected to a Samsung QLED TV. I also have two B&O Beolab 6000 speakers which, using a dongle, I can connect via Bluetooth to the TV. The overall sound is actually better using the Beam but I’d like to connect them via Bluetooth to the Beam and use them as surround speakers. Does anyone know if that’s possible or can I only do that using Sonos speakers?

Good morning, I am seriously thinking about buying a sonos ARC, my doubts arise when I see that there are several models, could you tell me what differences there are between sonos arc ARCG1UK1, ARCG1AU1 and ARCG1US1, if there is any. Thanks.

Hi! I am using playbar and sub with two play 3s as a rear. Movies are excellent but muaic is lacking. The 3's and sub sound really good but the fact they are behind my seating position puts me in a "inverted" sweet spot. Granted, i do not have the urge to listen to muaic in stereo ofren, but still i like to enjoy it from time to time.What would you do of the folowing:1. Buy a pair of ones and put as rears and.move the play 3s on either side of the tv and use them for.music2. Buy a pair of ones and put them on either side of tv and use them for music3. Buy a single five and use it for music only4. Buy a move for.music onlyThank youNeven
Afternoon all. Have a feeling I’ve asked a similar question before struggling with way forward on this one.I have a Panasonic GZ2000 TV in a small/medium size viewing room. It has built in Dolby Atmos speakers (think 11 small units from memory) but does not really delivery on it’s promise sound wise.This is linked to a Sonos Amp and two B&W CCM682 in ceiling speakers. There is a budget wireless sub woofer as well which does OKish. I’ve been thinking to add an Arc, a pair of Ones and a Sonos SW. I previously installed positions for RJ45 & power for the Sonos One’s and the TV has power & Rj45 at the rear to run the Arc off. Same with the SW position.But …. the Sonos Amp feeds the two in-ceiling B&W’s and they are logically in the wrong place. They are in line with the TV rather than left & right of it. Why? Originally the room was supposed to be just for listening. Then at the 11th hour (after speakers were installed) the plan changed to be a viewing room. I’ve attach
Hi all,I am considering the following setup:Sonos Arc as the “CENTER” speaker. Sonos Amp to drive my passive HECO L/R speakers.I would hardwire the Arc to the TV via HDMI/ARC and add the Amp as L/R. Will this work? There is no need for surrounds!Thanks!
Hello,We are hosting a destination wedding and need to bring a portable speaker set up for the after party. What I am trying to figure out is if 2 Roams connected vs. 1 Move - which is more powerful? I feel like 2 Roams would give me more flexibility, but if they wouldn’t be loud enough (even combined) - I would like to know. Given that Sonos doesnt provide any sort of sound statistics for their devices, I am trying to determine how I compare these options to buy the right set up. Thanks in advance!
I’m looking for the best way to make a TV that is outside and connected to Wi-Fi a source within the Sonos ecosystem. I could connect a beam to the TV, but I am afraid of the outdoor humidity. Thoughts?
Hi,Appologies in advanced if this has been asked before.I have a old Panasonic 50” Plasma TH-50U30A which I am pretty certain does not do Dolby Passthrough from its Optical or HDMI ports.I have a spare Beam or Playbar (together with a Sub and two ones) which I can connect to this TV but in either case will only get Stereo PCM :-(Is anyone able to suggest a good splitter which I could use to connect:Apple TV → Splitter → Beam ARC Port (For Audio) and TV ARC or HDMI Port (For Audio) or Apple TV → Splitter → PlayBar Optical Port (For Audio) and TV ARC or HDMI Port (For Video) Preference would be for the latter (Playbar)
Hello Sonos Community!I am considering setting my home up with Sonos, and I was hoping to get some specific answers/advice.I have 2xSonos One (G2) speakers in my kids’ rooms. I found that in order to use Alexa and Spotify independently (and not have the need to have ipads/phones in their rooms), I needed to setup 2 separate sonos systems entirely. This includes separate sonos, spotify, and Alexa accounts. It works well, but was confusing to figure out how to set it up. My assumption is that I’ll be setting up a third Sonos system (call it ‘Home’) to control the remainder of my speakers and setup. I have a Marantz receiver and wired 5.1 surround sound speakers hooked up already in my living room. I don’t think I’m interested in completely swapping this setup for Sonos speakers, but it’d be neat if I could incorporate the Sonos setup to leverage it. I would like to put some outdoor / all-weather speakers outside on my rear patio. I would like to add some speakers to my kitchen and
I am thinking about purchasing the Sonia roam. Is it possible to connect it with my TV / sound bar to take it into my garden and listen to the TV out there?
