Hi there,I realise that what I’m asking may not be doable but if anyone can answer they’re likely to be here. Here goes:I live in a small house in Melbourne Australia and would love to invest in quality speakers and sound but ideally don’t want to have to buy a different set of speakers for each of my audio uses. I’m wanting to know if there’s a sonos setup that could achieve my aims. I want my speakers / setup to:connect to the tv for a home theatre experience. play music from a turntable. stream music eg spotify. AND last but not least play audio from my computer / audio interface. Ideally this would include being able to be done “live” eg using a program like Ableton where I am performing / writing music tracks on the fly.My sense is I could probably do the first three pretty easily - I would need Port / Amp or Five to be able to play the turntable. I am leaning towards getting the Sonos Arc for the TV but would be open to two Sonos One or two Sonos Five if that could work in
I am looking for non Sonos speaker suggestions for use with the Sonos Amp. I already have a pair of the outdoor Sonance speakers in my yard connected to an Amp, and other than having to crank the volume up to 50% to be able to hear them , I am satisfied with their sound.I was looking at the in-wall / in-ceiling sets, but they are way to large for use in my kitchen. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ThanksBob
Hello, I am wondering if I can use Sonos one sl in a 30x15x6 m2 warehouse, the construction is made from metal insulated sandwitch panels. Here we are going to open a motorcycle clothing store and I am looking for a solution for backround music. We need to be able to speak to the customers which are going to visit us but at the same time i would like to hear a nice sound :)What do you think can i get a decent result out of 6-8 Sonos one sl? Do I need also a Sonos Sub? I made a test today with a JBL Xtreme 2 which I borrowed from a friend (I hang it at 3 m height near one of the walls) but I was not impressed maybe because the space is so big and all the walls are metallic. Thank you in advance for your help. Ionut
If I participate in the new (Oct 2021) SONOS upgrade program does that brick my old speaker that I’m upgrading or can I still use it? I’m thinking of getting a MOVE but not sure i wish to pay $400.Thanks - Mark
I currently have 6-ish devices passing HDMI through a 4k Yamaha receiver, sound to Polk Audio speakers. I’m considering getting rid of all of the speakers in lieu of a Sonos soundbar and sub. I still need to be able to pass my video signals through the receiver as my Samsung does not have enough HDMI ports to support all of my devices. Is there a way to make that work and still play audio from all of those devices through a Sonos system? If not, what are my other options? Thanks ahead.
Hi all,I ordered a Sonos Move on September 9th, with an estimated shipping date of October 22nd. I emailed support this week and got back a “it should ship in the next couple of weeks” reply but nothing specific for a timeline. Today I got an email from support saying that “due to high demand and inventory constraints” they wont be able to fulfill my order by its originally estimated date (last week). Has anyone else had a similar problem? When should i expect to get my product?Drew W.
Hi guys I own an old play:3 and two ones. The ones are in the living room as stereo pair and the sonos 3 is in the kitchen. I don’t want voice control. I have an oled tv that may benefit from a soundbar. Right now I’m somewhat confused on how to expand the system. The main thing for me is being able to listen to music on Spotify but get that rich and crisp sound I sometimes hear in bars or restaurants even at low volume. Can’t describe it any better. Should I:1. fill up my living room with sonos ones everywhere? With one sub for bass? this seems to be the closest to the setup I see in bars and restaurants get one arc / beam and use the ones as back speakers? How would this setup perform playing music? add a second hand play3 and a sub for bass? Maybe use the two ones as tweeters? Wouldn’t I run into legacy problems with the 3? 4. Just get two fives and use the ones elsewhere in the house (bathroom, attic)?your input is greatly appreciated
Hi im going to purchase a Sonos arc for my LG tv 49UH661V and I’m hesitant on getting because I’m afraid the picture and the sound will not be in sync when using the sky Q box. I have read that this is something that cannot be fixed and I also seen my brothers tv at the weekend and he has the arc and it’s not in sync with tv which makes it very frustrating and he has tried all but failed to solve.ive a Sonos sound bar for 5 years and have no problems and want to upgrade to the arc but I’m afraid to spend the money and it not to be in synccould you please let me know if my tv will have the same problem or if there is a solution many thanks
I am currently building and have a ok-sized family room/kitchen space. The living room space is approximately 22’ wide x 18’ deep. If I add the kitchen it is 22’ wide x 36’ deep. I am trying to plan for the space. I imagine pairing my ARC and Sonos Sub with a Sonos AMP that connects to in ceiling Sonance speakers. My question is do I add 2 pairs (QTY 4) Sonance in ceiling speakers or 1 pair (QTY 2) for my living room space? I considered doing 3 pairs (QTY 6) total Sonance in ceiling speakers with the one AMP in the entire kitchen/family room space, but figured I would like to treat more as two zones (one family room 2 pairs, and one kitchen 1 pair), but I know multiple zones on one amp is not possible. Which of the following would make more sense: For the family room (22’ wide x 18’ deep); Sonos ARC, Sonos Sub, Sonos AMP, Sonance In-ceiling 1 pair (QTY 2) --- For the kitchen; Sonos AMP, Sonance In-ceiling 1 pair (QTY 2)orFor the family room (22’ wide x 18’ deep); Sonos ARC, Sonos Sub,
I have the Sonos 1 and at cocktail hour I bring it outside in my Tiki Hut to play music. The sound is good but I would love to have surround sound somehow. I thought that since it’s bluetooth maybe there are 3 smaller speakers I can connect wirelessly to the Sonos but there doesn’t seem to be. Each time I’ve researched the only answer seems to be is buy more Sonos 1’s but at over $200 a pop that’s not feasible. Any suggestions?ThanksBill in Florida
I have old Play 1s and want to add new Arc -- but Play 1 dont work on S2 -- will that work for surround?
Hi,I just started using Sonos Speaker One Gen 2 than i made quick research for the Dolby atmos and so and so than i remark i need buy Sonos Beam Gen 2 or Sonos Arc products but i have a complicated problem :(As i understood Sonos Beam Gen2 or Sonos Arc doesn’t provide Dolby Atmos via AirPlay 2 so i have projection setup at my home and it’s cell mounted with no ARC Support ? as i understood i can connect my apple tv4K directly to sonos beam 2 or sonos arc than as a out to my projection hdmi ? even my projection doesn’t support ARC hdmi ?Isn’t it any solution for Wireless Dolby Atmos AirPlay 2 or something like that ?
I have a Play 5 I think it’s Gen1, never really used it and wanted to sell it, is it even worth doing so?
I just thought that I would share my experience, I am currently listening to The Marias, Cinima on Vinyl through Sonos Five paired with x2 play:1 stereo connected to a Fluance RT84. I am in Audiophile heaven. I haven't experienced nothing like this before and would like to say a simple “thank you” to Sonos for making this possible. I am experiencing new heights of listening. Thank you. Simon
Please help with what I need to purchase to add TV and play my turntable from an existing stereo system.

Hi everyone -I am looking to refine our home theater setup with a full Sonos surround sound system, and I could use a bit of advice. I’ve seen pieces of this in other threads, but hoping someone can validate my plan here before I start ordering equipment.Currently I have a BENQ TK800 projector with a Chromecast with Google TV, wired to the line-in on a Sonos Connect feeding to our vintage Macintosh stereo receiver. I want to go full surround and as wireless as possible. I also have a sentimental attachment to the Macintosh.Here’s what I am thinking:Chromecast 4k plugged into HDFury Arcana Arcana eARC → Sonos Amp Sonos Amp Speakers → Macintosh AUX inputs (stereo phantom center) Arcana HDMI → Wireless HDMI transmitter (OREI WUHD-PRO100-K ?) Wireless HDMI receiver → BENQ projector + Sonos Sub + 2x Sonos One SL for surroundsHere are my questions:First, I assume I can’t use my old Connect as any part of this and need to replace it with the Amp, right? Will this setup give me Atmos or just
Looking to enhance recently acquired Arc with a sub.System version 13.3.2Just checking if it’s compatible

What are the requirements of a HDMI cable that is used to connect Sonos Arc (HDMI Port - i suggest eARC HDMI 2.1) with a Beamer (S/PDIF Port) through the Sonos optical Adapter?
Hi everyone, does someone knows if there´s a Sonance small aperture speaker? Like de VP40 but for exterior, I’ve look’ed the VP6XT but not the VP4XT. Does someone knows if those exists?
Hi - I have just ordered a new TV Philips 48OLED806.With my old Panasonic TV I have an old Yamaha soundbar which has multiple inputs - I have for example a Sky Q system and also Apple TV and bluray player. It’s currently wired so that each of these devices goes directly to the sound bar and I have to select a sound source for whatever I am watching.I am looking at BEAM2 - it appears to have only one input port?Does this mean that the sound will pass through the TV and then from the TV into the soundbar so I only need that one conneciton?If so, does this work and what do I need to watch out for there - I got the impression I have to look for something called ARC?Apologies for the silly questions but I really haven’t looked into this at all since the last time I bought a new TV about 8 years ago!
Hi,I am planning to renovate my apartment.I would like to have in ceiling speaker in my bathroom.I see they are sold as pair, I think only one would be enough in this room.my question is:Can I put on speaker in my bathroom and one other in the kitchen for example.and connect them to the same connect amp but use it as different channel? also what kind of wires do you recomand?and my ceiling will be made from Ba13, would that do the job? Won’t there be vibrations? Should I add like mdf plate on the back of ba13 for better support?Thanks Mael
I bought a new Arc a few weeks ago to replace my Samsung sound bar and then was given a Gen 1 Play 5 which I was hoping to add to and then use as a rear surround. However I now find that the Play 5 only works with the S1 app and thus is not compatible with the Arc.I would like to avoid buying new due to the cost so is there any restrictions or guides as to what play Ones or One SL’s will work with the Arc?Many Thanks.
I am doing a renovation with walls and ceilings open and think I want to go down route of Sonance in ceiling speakers throughout the home and the one area I am confused about is my living room / home theater set up. Previously I had floor standing speakers, center speaker over fire place and two rears behind / the the side of my couch which is pushed against a wall all connected to a Denon Receiver. My preference is to eliminate the floorstanding, center + rears and go with in ceiling speakers connected to Sonos Amps since it is really the main living area that happens to have large couch + TV vs dedicated home theater set up. If I go with the Sonos Amp to power in ceiling speakers throughout my home, can the in ceiling speakers pull double duty to connect to my receiver when I want to watch movies. Am I just supposed to scrap my Receiver and use the Amps instead If so how do i set it up? I see the user guide for amps suggests 3 speakers near front of TV (L C R) and then two re
