What to get

hi  allis there any easy way to tell a Gen 1 sub from a Gen 2thanks in advance

Good afternoon everyone, i have a questions regarding the Sonos AMP.i have the Sonos ARC, Sonos sub and two Sonos one.i wanted to know if the Sonos AMP it’s compatible woth the arc and what improvement the Sonos amp will give to my system? thank you

I’m considering buying a Beam, and since the Play:1 is discontinued, would have to buy a One SL (I don’t want Alexa) to complete the setup. Would all three work seamlessly together?  Thanks

I see that Amp is supported for providing surround to an Arc soundbar, but can I use a Port + Active speakers to give surround for Arc?

The root bridge for my Sonosnet is a venerable ZP120 which has been going for over 10 years. If I replace the ZP120 with a Boost is it likely to make a noticeable improvement to the resilience of the network? In other words, does a Boost have better wireless capability than the ZP120? 

I’m atrracted to a Beam but can’t afford the eye-watering price of a Sub.If I pair it with my existing Move, would that give me any benefit at the low frequencies?  It’s only a small room 2.5 x 2.5 m so I haven’t a huge space to fill

Sorry for the dumb question.  But, I have a sonos amp which is connected to a turn table and also have a sonos arc connected to my tv via HDMI/arc.  I am looking to add a speaker to my den and bedroom with the ability to stream from my amp.  Are there any issues with adding a few Sonos One (Gen 2) speakers to my set up ?  Thanks for helping a novice out.

Hi,With the new upgrade, can you continue to use the the product you are eligible to... Or does it break the "older" one ? Kind regards,Koen

Hi, does the new xbox series x transcode dts to dolby digital while playing blu rays? The previous xbox did, and I'd like to know it does, and it's tested with a beam, before (hopefully) buying one. 

Hi,Is the arc, Sub gen3 and Play set discontinued? It was supposed to be available end of October but still no sign and no date?Thanks!

I got an email saying I haven’t sold $10,000 worth of product… in the middle of a 9 month pandemic and lockdown. I had plenty of work, but SONOS didn’t have product- not for me or my distributors… So I had to buy retail and make no money for the sake of the job.I am disgusted at this treatment as someone who has been a direct dealer at silver status for 8 years or so. Pushing SONOS as my go to whole home audio solution, I’ve been asked to lean towards Yamaha and Heos. I never did. Sonos was it. And now as of the 13th, I’m out. I can’t seem to get my account manager to call me back, so I guess they don’t care about the small business owner… it’s all about the numbers. Anyone else here going through this?Bryan, Accent AV

I wanted to pair a Move with my wife’s Lenovo DESKTOP that runs Win10. I had an old LogiTech USB/BT adapter that I tried, but no joy. Probably just meant for their BT keyboards & mice. To prove out the concept, I DID successfully pair that Move with my MS SurfaceBook, which runs Win10. Now my question: has anyone successfully paired a Move with a DESKTOP PC that runs an external (USB) Bluetooth adapter? If so, what BT adapter did you use (/do you recommend)? Make & model number, please? Thanks. Edd. 

Will the Sonos arc will be on sale at Black Friday 

Hi, I am new with dematerialized music and I would like to know if I can connect a NAS directly to Sonos Connect 1st Generation Ethernet port, not through Wi-Fi (I don’t have any available Ethernet port on my Router). I am looking to Buffalo LinkStation 210 or Western Digital My Cloud Home Personnel.

Hi folks, I’ve been reading a bit and i’m seeing mixed messages.  Here’s my situation:  I have a current hard-wried 4.1 system in my living room.  My home is an open floor plan with the living room, kitchen, eat-in and formal dining all “open” on the main floor.  I want to add some sonos 1’s around these auxiliary areas to have music spread across the space.  I first tried a Port to my existing AVR, but had sync issues (grossss)….  So now I’m wondering how to solve for my TV/Living area… options I’m considering:2x AMPs with my existing bookshelf speakers & in-ceiling speakers/sub to run a 4.1 setup in the living room If possible, could I replace my existing bookshelves with 5’s and use 1 AMP to power the in-ceilings for a 4.1 setup… (not sure if this would work.) Some other idea?  I don’t like the idea of wasting/not utilizing my built in ceiling speakers… To cut this off at the pass, I can’t / wife won’t do any form of sound bar, so that’s out of the question here. Open to ideas.

Hi everyone,I know this subject has been discussed many times but before to buy a Sonos Port, I’d like to have confirmation of my setup :  Playbar : connected with optical cable to my TV 2x Play:1 are used/synced for Surround 2x Other Play:1 in other roomsIn the end, I would like to use my Sonos Speakers System to listen music from my Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT turntable (Mandatory : using of Multi-room). I understood that the Sonos AMP and Sonos Port can do the job. Sonos AMP if I’m using 3rd parties speakers and Port if not. Is it correct ? According to you I just need a Sonos Port and connect the RCA cable between my turntable and it.  Thanks in advance.

Hello to all.I’m a happy Sonos user, so far only with three Play:1s and one Sonos one SL.My current system is built as follows: two Play:1s coupled in stereo in the living room and the remaining two speakers in other rooms.It’s been awhile since I would like to get an upgrade for better listening, but I have two “needs”: better music quality in my living room which is quite big (about 40 square meters) and better sound from my TV set.new Arc is far too expensive at the moment Beam would be an option but, question: is it possible two couple it only with my pre-existing stereo pair made by two Play:1 and have the whole system connected to tv by an HDMI-arc connection? What do you think is the effect of this latter option for both general music listening in a large living room and also for use with TV? My other option would be a Sonos Five. This would be perfect for music but only works with tv through a normal jack, as if it was a headphone, sonot the best most probably.Do you guys have

 I have a pair of One SL, the arc and the sub (gen3) all connected and working together. My question is if I replace the pair One SL with the in ceiling speakers with it be compatible and plays well with the other devices? Also would the amp be necessary at this point?  thank you 

Updated: 05/15/20 (see Note below) These charts were developed to give you a snapshot feature/design comparison of Sonos all-in-one speakers. They are separated into two groups...those generally associated with Music and those generally associated with Home Theater. However, depending upon the application all the speakers in the charts can be used cross-functionally (Sonos Move has some restrictions). The charts should not be used as the determining factor for your buying decision. They are merely an aide to be used as a starting point based upon your individual/personal need(s). Every situation (while on the surface may appear to be similar) has specifics that does not fit into a "one-size-fits-all" scenario. The Community is still here to offer counsel and suggestions to assist you in building your ultimate Sonos system.   NOTE: Information regarding Sonos Music Speakers for the Sonos Five; the successor to the Play: 5, and how it differs can be found in FAQ’s  information regarding

Cheers, Eventually answers to my questions could be found in Sonos Support and FAQ. I could not be assure of the right answer and the situation has some minor particularities. I was not able to find a recent topic that includes this doubts. Since it is a considerable investment I post here my questions hoping they can be answered. I did a diagram to facilitate the description.  My goal would be to be able to listen to the Turntable and/or CD player through Sonos System (any room) and, possibly, also be capable to use the external Speakers, connected to a Receiver at this moment, as a pair of front speakers in the “home theater” set-up. This are the devices:a Sonos set-up to TV, Movies, video games as well as Music streaming in the living-room Beam 2 One (2Gen) distancing 4-5 meters opposite to the TV wall on each side  2 One (2Gen) on two different divisions A Stereo Receiver (Pioneer) https://intl.pioneer-audiovisual.com/products/2ch_components/sx-10ae/specification.php , which has 4

Hi,I'm currently running a beam+one+one+sub setup, and I feel that the beam is kind of s bottle neck when listening to music.I am now considering to pick up a used playbar and sell the beam (offcourse after some listening and comparing). Any thoughts on this? What are the pro's and con's? One question that I can think of is, will the volume of the playbar be adjusted when I adjust the volume of my TV?And another thing, how long do you think the playbar will be supported in S2? Kind regards

How should I go about connecting a phono player to the Playbase with only one optical input? Do I get a DAC and a 2x1 optical switch to plug my TV and phono (from the DAC) into and then send the output of the 2x1 optical switch to my Playbase or am I overthinking this and there’s an easier solution like the Port?

I have a lot of Connect and Connect Amp products and I wish to trade up here in UK. I tried to purchase multiple units just now but Sonos are out of stock with their Sonos Amp. Can anyone from Sonos tell me when these are due back in stock? I would really like to do this ASAP.Thanks

Hi, I'd like to use my trade up credit (30% discount) to purchase a Beam and gen 3 Sub however the set has been discontinued in the UK. Buying separate isn't an option as I would only get the discount on one of the items.Will this set be replaced? The difference in price is significant if I can't purchase with 30% discount on both items.This set still seems to be available in the US shop but not the UK.Thanks,Stuart

I bought several Sonos products in the U.K. where my Sonos account is based, and they are eligible for trade up. I have since moved to Spain and would like to trade up some of these legacy items for new Sonos products   I will need to order these from Sonos in Spain.is this possible?  What would i need to do?
