Hola, necesito una recomendación… actualmente tengo 2 Sonos ONE y una Sonos FIVE, las 3 bocinas las tengo integradas en un mismo espació. ¿Para ese mismo espacio con qué me recomiendan complementar? con otra Sonos FIVE para tener los 2 pares estéreos (ONE y FIVE) o mejor complemento con una Sonos SUBWOOFER.
Does anyone know where I can get the mounting template for the Sonance in-ceiling speakers (I can’t wait till they arrive to get the ones in box) We are building a house and need to cut the holes next week for 6 speakers. I’ve searched the website and raised a ticket but that could take a week...
Hi all!I have a Playbar, a pair of Play 3’s and a SUB on a S2 app. I plan to buy used Play 5 gen1 and use it in a trade in program. What do I have to do? Regiser it in S2 app or install S1 just for the Play 5?Thank youNeven
Hi, if i have a turnable and I would like to get additional sonos to connect to it or group it with the rest of my system. What should i get? my area is quite small.
I am having an in ground pool built in the backyard in about 2 months. I have an area on the south side of the pool that will be a landscape bed and will have outdoor speakers installed. These will be hard wired speakers being run by the Sonos Amp. The Amp will be installed in my basement with wires run out to the speakers by the pool. On the west end of the pool I will have a gazebo with a TV installed. I’d like to use the outdoor speakers for the audio from the TV as well but not sure how I’d hook the entire system up to the Amp?! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
I'm a Sonos newbie looking for a little advice.I'm finishing my basement, basically a big open room.I am planning on doing surround sound in the seating area w/ an Arc and two of the sonance in ceiling speakers for the rear. Ceiling is a drop ceiling. Am I correct in assuming that the speakers are too heavy for the ceiling tiles and need a bracket. Is there a recommended bracket for the speakers?
Hello everyone,I am new to Sonos and considering Sonos for my home theatre. I really like the look of the in-wall and/or in-ceiling speakers, but they seem to recommend their home theatre package with the arc, subwoofer and what appears to be two portable speakers. I am confused on what to do because I want the best possible sound quality but also would prefer to use the Arc/subwoofer with either the in-wall or in-ceiling speakers. Suggestions please! Thanks
Hello--I have a home with a 10 year old wired ceiling speaker system with about 7 different zones. All those zones are connected in the basement to one integrator--all the speaker wires go into that device. A main screen exists on a 1st floor wall where you can select which source you want to play in any room. For example, I can select “kitchen” then “ipod” (OMG) or “back deck” and “FM radio”. There is an AUX based docking station mounted in the wall there for a 1st Gen Ipod. (I imagine this was very hot in 2010) Because this system isn’t current, we end up either using FM Radio on it; or just using one of our four Alexa devices to play the music from a source we like (Pandora, Amazon Music, etc).Note: also wired into that integration system is a DVD player, a BlueRay player, and what looks like a Serius/XM receiver--all sources for different zones that have either TVs or just ceiling speakers.How do I use this existing system of wired speaker zones, to upgrade to something that
I currently have a single One and contemplating purchase of a Beam plus 2 x symfonisk speakers for TV surround. My question is whether it is possible to use the Beam / symfonisk combo for TV and also separately use the One and one of the symfonisks as a stereo pair for music?what would people recommend so that I can get ‘the best of both worlds’ with this combo? Maybe Beam plus One for music would be a better bet?thanks
Can sonos amp connect 4 “normal” speakers (2 Mini pods and 2 micro pods) and a subwoofer?
I have 5 products offering the upgrade discount. I definitely want to upgrade the play 5 but does anyone know if I select only the play 5 just now, will the upgrade option still be available for the others afterwards?Trying to figure out if the upgrade option is a one time thing, and therefore worth choosing to upgrade them all just now (to secure the discount but actually replace them further down the line). Or, if I chose just play 5 for now, then would the remaining 4 products still show the upgrade offer afterwards?
Hello, all. I’m brand new to Sonos and have been doing research on upgrading/updating my current 5.1 home theater setup (LG OLED55B7P TV, Yamaha receiver, center, front surrounds mounted to wall, in-ceiling rear surrounds, JBL subwoofer). My goal was to see if I can eliminate the Yamaha receiver (I no longer have any other components connected to it), and also eliminate the center and two front surround speakers … but continue to use the rear surround in-ceiling speakers and my existing subwoofer.I thought that Sonos Arc (for center + fronts) and Sonos Amp (for rears and sub) would get me there … but it sounds like I will NOT be able to use my existing JBL subwoofer in this configuration, is that correct? Because (if my understanding is correct) the Amp will disable the subwoofer connection when the speakers that are connected to the Amp are used as surrounds?If that is the case … then, damn!! So close. I won’t be pulling the trigger on Sonos. Are there any other options that would
I’ve been banging around sonos site for awhile trying to figure this out.I understand Sonos AMP is 2 channel.I understand that if you want 2 Front, 2 Rear, you get 2 AMPs.What I don’t understand is:How do 2 AMPs act as one zone together? what about the center channel? (if you don't want a sonos soundbar) does it actually do true 5.1? or does it treat each set of speakers as stereo How do you handle the multi-sources? I have Apple TV and Nintendo Switch for example. Does Sonos AMP have Airplay2 directly? So it appears as a speaker to broadcast to in IOS devices? If so, what happens when you have more than 1AMP meant to power one zone?Any help would be appreciated! I like the idea of migrating to Sonos over time, just can’t figure out this first step of gear I need.
Hello and thanks in advance. I’m reconfiguring my room but i have some questions. I have an existing in ceiling rear speakers. My plan is to have a new tv and Sonos Arc and sub. I have wired rears going to a different location than the Arc and Sub but everything will be connected to the same WiFi. So my questions are: can the AMP be set up to act as rear surrounds? will the AMP connect over WiFi to the ARC (which is connect directly to the tv and wirelessly to the same WiFi network) - or do they need to be hardwired together somehow? the Sub wirelessly connects correct? any suggestion / help would be appreciated
Can Sonos One SL be connected in different rooms - looking at 3 speakers in 3 different rooms
I am a custom AV installer, I am currently wiring a few houses and anticipate needing about 30 sonos amps in around 6 months. I think I know the answer to this, but is there any update on sonos amp supply? I see that they are currently not shipping until around November, do you anticipate having plenty by then or should I go ahead and order everything I need now? On ebay they are going for like $900-$1000, ughhh.
So... I were recently at a Sonos reseller trying to decide between the Sonos amp and the new bluesound powernode (2021 model)) to power my triangle comete 40th anniversary edition speakers (sensitivity at 90).According to the salesman I should go for the new powernode (80W rms) as it's more powerful than the Sonos amp.I wonder if it's true. I thought that the amp is 125w rms but this isn't stated clearly in the product page. How does Sonos measure the amp's power?Who should I trust?
Our old home was pre-wired and we used a SONOS Connect on our network to provide the sound source from our PC (Using SONOS S2 software) to our stereo receiver that was wired to the speakers. Our new house is not pre-wired for speakers so I was looking at using SONOS Play 5 speakers in the house over WiFi. One SONOS staff member I spoke to said I will need a PORT to connect to the speakers from our PC even though the PC and the speakers are on the same WiFi network. However a SONOS dealer locally told me I do not need the PORT, that I just need to use my iPad or iPhone to set up the speakers on the network and then the SONOS S2 app on my PC will find them. Which is correct?
I have a Sonos Five, a Beam, a roam, and a borrowed play:1 I'm looking to create a setup for watching music videos, I don't really watch too many movies. r I would like to widen the sound stage and get maximum flexibility. I would like it to be a mesh network if possible. Do I purchase? : Another Roam? This could be set up as a stereo pair and placed on either side of the play five or alternatively the Beam. No wires. Neat. Cost $299aud. Two Sonos Ones? This would allow surround sound but creates more power wires. Cost $398aud Another Five? Ultimate sound, but heavy, wired, and expensive. Cost $499aud I'm thinking of the Roam option. Any thoughts?
How the actual f**k can you discontinue services for people to simply stream music to overpricedhardware that they have purchased. The arrogance is unbelievable. Just let users stream from their devices to your devices. What a crock of s**t Sonos is. If you are a new user considering Sonos, go somewhere else. Their products suck.
I’m moving house and I’m going to be fixing my Arc to the wall, which is the best wall bracket to use?
I am about to start with Sonos for the first time. I have just ordered a Samsung Neo QLED 55” TV, which will be wall mounted with a Sonos ARC. My installer (who is independent of the shop I am buying from) recommend adding a Subwoofer - so I ordered a Sub Gen 3, but he said I would not need a pair of rear speakers. I had been thinking of a pair of rear One SL’s. But given the installers comments, my wife will not agree to any rears now.My room is not large - the distance from the TV on the opposite wall to our sofa will be around 4m. The width of the room is just under 5m. Is there anyone out there who initially just had an ARC + Sub, who then subsequently added rears - to comment on what the impact was ? It needs to be in the context of a similar room size - it is our small lounge, not a huge cinema room!Appreciate any thoughts.Many thanks Justin

No shortage of discussion about the issues with Sonos systems on mesh wifi networks.I’m just seeking advice on whether purchasing the Sonos Boost will let me circumvent the most common ones assuming I also purchase a Google Nest Wifi system.I’m hoping to get set up with the following:Sonos One (currently have) Sonos Five (currently have) Sonos Boost (considering purchasing) Google Nest Wifi (considering purchasing)Any advice from the experts is most appreciated
When we built our home, Sonos was not around. I put in a distributed sound system by Russound. It consists of a multi-zone amplifier which feeds 6 zones. Each zone has a wall-mounted controller (on/off, volume and source) with in-ceiling speakers. To this system I connect my TV, dvd/cd player, Apple TV, speakers in various rooms…..10 speakers in total. we are renovating currently and it seems like a good time to make some changes. I would like something that uses the speakers I have and the TV CD DVD inputs. I was advised by a sound company that I could do all that I do now with a Sonos ampIt does not seem that that is correct. What would I need to get from Sonos to be able to use the in wall controllers, the in ceiling speakers, controls 6 zones, that I can connect the TV, CD/DVD, Apple TV to. i appreciate the advise and your expertise. Thank you in advance.
