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
Hi All,I’m new to SONOS. Planning to purchase 1 pair of SONOS ONE/SL for complete home theater system.This will be integrated with Arc + Sub Gen3.My concern regard to ONE/SL placement since I were not allowed to have wiring or cables dwells on my living floor and that makes thing complicated.Currently undergoing full wiring work at my home, so would like to use this opportunity to place sonos one/sl plug point against the wall however it will be at the edge of ceiling at my rear seat.The length of my living will be 18 feet long. and width is about 14 feet long.This are the planned setup, my only option is to set ONE/SL at the edge of wall ceiling. This will be the beam of my staircase hence no space to lower the ONE/SL at the wall site. It must at the edge.The ARC placement will be about 2 feet from wall since this comes with 75” TV and TV cabinet placement. Also the distance to seat is another 10.5 feet due to the TV size.Is this design do-able, also that i tilt the sonos one/SL horiz
We have a couple stero pair of sonos One speakers in the lounge which we use just for the radio mainly and occasional streaming from Amazon Music. I have been thinking of sorting out a hi fi set up for another room just for vinyl and CD mainly. I like the Sonos sound and was possibly thinking of buying a Rega turntable, Rotel CD player and Sonos 5 speaker, unsure if i would need one or two speakers as yet. I notice there is only one input on the speaker, how would i connect both Rega and Rotel to it. Any help appreciated, or any other alternatives, or would i be better just buying a hi fi amp, cd player and speakers.
Hi all, new Sonos setup starting in my LR with Arc, Sub and 2 Ones for surround. The location of the TV and the Arc (and maybe the Sub) are capable of using a wired Ethernet connection. I have a 3-node Linksys Velop Tri-Band mesh system shown by the crude blue symbols. Wondering if I should start by trying the Wifi and see how it goes. I have good Internet (stream video to multiple sets with no issues) and never have issues with Wifi connections. Fallback would be to wire the Arc and use SonosNet. Thoughts?I forgot to add that the Internet (cable) comes into Bedroom 3, that’s the location of the router main node as well. To get to the TV/Arc connection, I’d need to connect Bedroom 3 to the wiring panel/switch in the garage (house has Cat 5 wiring) and then back to the TV alcove. The reason for the location of the node in the MBR is to get wifi to my telescope computer when in the backyard.OB
Hi, all.I am torn between the Arc and Beam Gen 2.I have a high vaulted ceiling. I understand the Arc has two upward firing drivers that may not be suitable to create the atmos effect.Was wondering will Beam Gen 2 be a better choice as it does not have upward firing drivers?
I’m pretty set on my home theatre setup for my living room, but I’m looking to have a full main floor setup for music listening. I’m not really familiar with sonos like could I connect my home theatre setup with separate sonos speakers for the sub and music listening. Here is a layout of what I was thinking. I’m open to suggesting for the dining room/kitchen. The area is not huge and budget is unlimited. Ideally I’d be playing music through an alexa or something like that. Thanks
Hiya. I currently have a older connect amp (white one) and was wondering if I got the latest black one with 125 amps. Would it play louder.It’s hooked up to a pair of Celestion Ditton 25 speakers. Plus when using an old I pod with line in the volume is crap even with everything on max. I’m not too good with Tech so simple replies please. Help please.
Hi, I am in the market to buy 2 sounbars for 2 separate living zones in my house. I was thinking of 2 Sonos Arcs. Can someone please advise if it is possible to run 2 on the same network and how this can be achieved? Regards, Dennis
I am about to move from Australia with a number of SONOS speakers and want to know where I can purchase EU power plugs rather than having to get a whole bunch of adaptors for my speakers.
We are trying to create a stereo system for our home that allows us to use a CD player for our collection of CDs, as well as lets us use our SiriusXM component. What would you recommend?
Have my ARC and sub setting for few months now. I like the sound stage so far especially the bass is solid from Netflix movies too. Just like to know so far from research, One SL is the only speaker available for Sonos ARC ? It there other choice availability.
Hi everyone, I would like to enter Sonos world by taking a Connect/Port and connect to my existing Yamaha 3.1 system (receiver soundbar and subwoofer yht-s400). Moreover I also have a turntable to connect to.The question is: if I also add 2 sonos one, can I combine all together to obtain a 5.1 system, Connect/Port to 3.1 system plus surround speakers sonos one? I obviously would like to use them all in one room. Could the configuration work or could the signal have delay between sonos speaker and the existing old ones? And to add also TV do I need a sonos amp to have hdmi in? Thank You very much for the help…
We have 2 Sonos Outdoor Speakers on our patio that were pre wired by the builder. The speaker wire cable runs inside to our Sonos Amp. I’ve just mounted a television outside, but have no way to run an HDMI cable all the way inside to the Amp. What are my options to get my outdoor speakers to play the television sound as well as music through the app? Will any of the available wireless hdmi extenders work?
Good morningI want to buy the Sonos arc (at the time only the arc without sorround nor sub).I Have only une Ethernet cable in the room; the question is: if I connect the ethernet to the Arc, can I see Netflix/Disney Plus in the TV (the Arc will share the Internet with the TV) or should I connect the Ethernet to the TV and work with the Arc in Wifi.In this second case, what problems can I have?Thanks in advance and excuse my poor English
Hi there,I am considering to add the Sonos Amp to my setup, but I´ve got some questions:Lets say I connect my PC to it using the ARC port (via optical) and my laptop using LineIn. I would love to set up so that a signal from the ARC input auto-plays on the connected passive speakers, while a LineIn input auto-plays to another speaker. This never happens at the same time, but I don´t want to change the autoplay setting every time using it for the other input/player-combination. Is there a way to set this up?Adding another port to my setup for the LineIn part would solve my problem, but I am trying to prevent this.Thank you for your help and have a nice weekend :DKind regards,Max
Hello, I’m interested to buy Sonos arc black but there is not any available in Poland for some reason . I have found few white ones ( not fitting with my furniture).

Hi,Before i take the plunge and buy an additional Sonos 5 to create a stereo pair, will this work if i only use one speaker with aux input?To elaberate a little, i’m currently coming out of a mixer with RCA to jack cable into aux input of a single Sonos 5, but want an addtional Sonos 5 to create a pair.I used to use a connect to two 1’s but the delay from mixer cue to actual speacker output was hiddious so switched to a 5 with aux input, which still slightly delays but tollerable. Just dont want to get into that situation again (if its even possible).Cheers guys
Hello! Just purchased my first few speakers this week. I have a quick question re a potential set up involving 2 x Five, 2 x One SL, 1 x Sub. If I purchase an Arc, could I have this in the middle under my TV, a Five on either side of it, the sub at the back of the room, and the two Ones on either side of the sub? I see lots of set ups with either Fives or Ones at the back of the room, with an Arc under the TV, but I haven't found any yet that have speakers on either side of the Arc as well. Any suggestions or tips are greatly appreciated.
