What to get

Hello.Fairly new to Sonos, have a Pay 5 & 1 currently. Moved to a new house, medium sized living/kitchen entertaining area. I’m looking for a decent set up for streaming and line-in via turntable. My original thought is x2 Play 5sx1 Play 1 in the kitchen area.  Not sure if this set up would be much enhanced with a subwoofer? Or if x4 Sonos 5s is a better way to go? or both.  I’m moving Sonos 5s to stands to reduce any vibrations, especially when playing from turntable.  I’m essentially an idiot Musically/Sonically/Generally, but I like loud and like to think I can tell the difference in quality set ups.  Any advice greatly appreciated.  Thank you,  WA

Having a new house build with a huge Great Room that is approx 24-36 in size.I’m buying the Sonos ARC and Sub, but then I’m really limited to in-ceiling speakers (10’ high ceilings). If I buy multiple Sonos Amps for in ceiling speakers, can I have one Amp configured for front speakers (in addition to the ARC), then then have a  second Amp configured for rear/surround Speakers? concerned that just having the Arc and one set of rear in-ceiling speakers won’t be enough for such a large Great room and I need to get speaker wire installed before insulation and sheet rock gets installed in the next few weeks. ‘I’d really appreciate any and all recommendation as I’m new to Sonos for large room configurations.  I’d rather lean towards more than end up with not enough speakers.

Hi, I’m using a Sonos one speaker in my study room. So far I’m happy with it.   The room in my apartment is not big.  I’m wondering if I want to upgrade to a better sound experience, should I get one more Sonos one speaker to form a pair (for the stereo separation), or switch to a Sonos Five instead ?I usually don’t listen to bass-heavy music, and I quite like the stereo separation of 2 speakers, but given the small size of the room, I can’t place both speakers at an optimal distance.should I opt for a Sonos five speaker instead ? I heard it produces a better midrange sound than Sonos one.  Thanks.  

Hello, Im looking at building a new Surround sound system for a new house and would like to go down the path on integrating two in-ceiling speakers, as well as an ARC bar, and subwoofer.I’m also wanting to integrate a turntable into the mix.I’d like to know what specific products I need, and what connects to whereIm aware for the in-built passive speakers I need the AMP, as well as wanting an ARC and SUB, how do these connect to each other for seamless use?Thanks for any help!Alex

Hey, I want to buy a Sonos Connect for my two Sonos One, and I don’t know how to recognize Connect 1 or Connect 2 ? If you can tell me for this serial number for exemple : 1606-B8-E9-37-9F-20-34-9 and if you have tips for me thanks you 

Hello So I ordered a SUB GEN2 But SUBG1 is listed on the invoice.Is it normal? Will I receive the G2 product I ordered, is this some kind of mistake?Any one had the same issue? 

I recently bought a home that came with an ancient audio system already built into 4 ceilings. In total the system includes an amp, a switch, cd and cassette player, 4 ceiling speakers in 4 different rooms and 2 speakers (potentially one of them is an amp but neither is working) in the same room as the audio system. See picture's of equipment below. only the switch is staying from this picture. current amp that I'm hoping to replace with sonos ampMy short term goal is to keep the in-ceiling speakers but enable streaming (I'm going to remove the cd and cassette player as neither work). This lead me to the Port vs Amp decision. Ultimately I choose amp, which just shipped, as the current amp is an enormous heat producer and felt like something I'd want to replace sooner than later. In investigating further I'm now worried the Sonos amp won't be able to power the 4 in ceiling speakers through the switch as well as the ones in the living room (which will likely need to be replaced- I was th

hi everyone looking for some advice. I am setting up a home cinema system. I have an Arc and a sub and I want to add two rear speakers.Due to the config of the room I cant add wall or free standing rear speakers only ceiling speakers (with a Sonos amp).In another part of the kitchen / diner  I would like to install another 2 ceiling speakers.My questions …. 1 are the ceiling speakers a reasonable solution for my rear speakers / work well  for the home cinema ?2 Can I play DAB radio through the Arc to come out of the two ceiling speakers (or does sound come out of all the speakers ?)3 Lastly can I stream music  ONLY through the ceiling speakers . thankyou  

Hello,  Here is what I am trying to figure out as far as what to purchase.* Living room ( 25 x 20)  This is the room with the LG TV and would like surround sound.  Arc for that one?        * Master Bedroom 1 (15 x 15)  Maybe two speakers (one for the master bath)  This has a TV so a Beam for that one?         * Maybe one or two extra speakers to put in other places of the house.        2.  The only other thing we have is our original Sonos (which we hooked up to the house's in wall speaker system).  We could do away with this.        3.  I would plan on putting maybe one speaker outside, yes.  But we could also just have one that goes outside when we go outside in the back. Thank you a bunch in advance!!!! Brad

sorry guys, could you tell me if a connect amp with serial number 1308 00 ...... can be used with App S2? thank you

I have a stereo pair, play bar and sub in lounge that use to play tv and music through. I have an additional stereo pair I wanted to set up in another room. I got them working playing music from my app but it shut down my lounge stereo pair in the process.  How do I set it up so when I want to play music in a different room or through a tv in that room it doesn’t shut off my stereo pair in the lounge please 

I've read a variety of topics and haven't found one exactly answering this question so I apologize if this is an easy one or if it has been answered before. Bottom line - I'm exploring my options for connecting outdoor speakers to my current Denon AVR-X4300H (I think that's the model, not terribly important I guess).  My current setup is just 3.1 (LCR and sub setup).  I want to be able to play my music from either my TV, receiver, turntable connected to receiver, etc on outdoor speakers.  So far what I think I've learned and is accurate:- I can purchase any old outdoor speakers and wire them to my receiver under zone 2.  - one Sonos option is: outdoor architectural speakers, but that would still require wired connection to the sonor port or amp.- if I purchased one of the Sonos wireless speakers (one of waterproof portable ones), could I wirelessly connect them to a Sonos Port that's connected to my receiver?  I know a highlight of this would be allowing my receiver to be brought into

I’m having 4 sonos sonance ceiling speakers installed in my living on the Sonos amp and gen 3 sub? Can I also add an arc and they all play together? I assume so. Thanks

How does TV dialogue work with ceiling speakers acting as surround? Hello,we are looking to install a Sonos Arc in our living room, which has an open floor plan that includes  the kitchen and dining area. When in the kitchen watching TV, it would be nice to hear what’s on (you can still see the TV from the kitchen) without blasting the volume from basically across the house. We’d like to install two Sonos ceiling speakers in the kitchen and have a Sonos Amp powering them.  Ideally, the amp would be in the attic above the kitchen, powering the ceiling speakers and connect wirelessly to the Sonos Arc which is connected to the TV in the living room. But it’s my understanding the Amp would just play the surround speakers fed by the Arc. If we’re wanting to hear what’s happening on the TV (i.e. dialogue), would that work? Or would we just be hearing “rear speaker” surround sounds like a train approaching? If so, what would be a solution to hear the same front speaker dialogue from the TV in

Hi so I am wanting to set up smart speakers throughout the house for music and additionally add a turntable to the system. I would also like to get a sound bar for the tv. I would like to know if this concept will work. I was looking to get the beam and turntable set. I would set the beam to the tv and put the turntable in one room. I would use the five speaker (that comes with turntable set) in another room. Will the sound bar be able to connect to the turntable? Will I be able to play records to both rooms? Will the tv be able to play in both rooms? Thanks 

We just bought a house.  We have an arc, move and multiple ones through the house that work great with the sonos app (I use apple music through the app to play music).  We have an outdoor area that has mulitple speakers that came with the house and a receiver that’s super old (no blue tooth, etc).  We can turn on the reciever and play radio stations through the outdoor speakers, they work! :-)  If we want to leverage the existing outdoor speakers - can we buy a sonos reciever - Port or Amp? and use that to connect the non-sonos speakers?  The receiver today is outdoors under a tiki roof -- not protected super well from elements. if we spend the money for the port or amp - will it allow to control/coordiante all speakers/sound?  Is there a cheaper option to accomplish full connection with a unit that is less expensive since it will be outside? Thanks!!!!

I finish builded beam gen2 + sub gen3+ pair of One SL system before this Chrismas for my home theater. This system works great and i really love it.  I really love listen music with this system, and it makes me want to sing. I expect that my own voice comes out from sonos sound system. to enchance this home theater system to a karaoke system too.I made my research and there are some difficults,first of all, Most of smart TVs Can install Karaoke apps and bluetooth connection,but Microphone can not be just connect and use. second, sonos system need HDMI eARC for dolby atmos, ,and most TV can not output 2 audio at same time, and Beam and Arc dont have extra port for connection.Third, most of the mixer on the market dont have HDMI eARC pass through or the whole setup become a nightmare of cables.I hope sonos can make a mixer with dolby atmos pass through to enchance the connection of sonos system plus a pair of karaoke microphone. with its nice design and wifi system intergrated.Maybe this

Hi everyone, hope I’m posting in the right place.I have a Beam in my living room, I use it as a regular playbar for TV, shows, movies and so on, but also for listening to the music.In this latter task, it’s not bad for its size and features, but it is not satisfactory for me, especially in the bass realm.I know the simplest thing woud be to add a Sub, but I’m not that enthusiastic. The room is not very big, I care about my relationship with neighbours and… well, it does cost a lot. I can’t but think “Is it worth it?” (please note: for me… personal thoughts and tastes!) So I visited the shop where I purchased the Beam, and the owner kindly allowed me to make some tests:Single Sonos One Beam Couple Ones Beam + Couple Ones Options #2, #3, #4 with Sub Play 5My original idea was to get 2x Ones (SL) and group them with the Beam, hoping they would provide more depth and improve the situation. I think a couple Ones is actually better for music than the Beam, but I wouldn’t call this a game cha

HelloI want to buy a record player for my partner to connect with his sonos one speaker and soundbar. I am looking to buy the Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable. Do I need to purchase just the sonos port or do I need an amp as well to connect the record player to the speakers.I was going to buy the Pro ject T1 sonos edition turntable which I believe you only need a sonos port for it to work, however they have sold out. So now a little confused as to what I need exactly for the turntable non sonos editition.Thankyou for any advice..
