What to get

Hello. My Arc order has been on “Dispatch Acknowledged” for a couple days and was wondering how long the turnaround time is from this status to shipped? Thanks. 

Besides the playbase, arc and beam, does Sonos offer any speakers that I could use for my TV?

I am a long term (10+years) owner of SONOS equipment.I have (spread around the house) 2x 5’s 4x 1’s a sound bar and a sub.2 of the 1’s, the sound bar and the sub are my TV sound system.I am moving to a larger house that will support a much bigger TV.In order to have a ‘proper’ 5.1 surround system I want to add a pair of L+R front speakers.Bearing in mind that I do not want, nor have the cash, to upgrade all my SONOS kit to the newer versions, i need a solution that will work with the original hardware.Ideally I would like a pair of floor standing speakers for L+R fronts, the sound bar to act as the centre front speaker and the 1’s (or of possible the 5’s) to act as the rears.I dont think the sound bar gives a wide enough sound stage for true 5.1 surround sound.I have looked at the various kit that SONOS provides and I’m torn between a device that will connect the SONOS system to a standard HiFi A/V amp, but I’m not sure that will give me a signal to the sound bar /sub /rears, or just u

I have a home theater that is 32 deep and 24 feet wide. I currently have a 15ft screen (unsure of acoustic transparency but the installer told me people put speakers behind them all the time without issue) that I use as both a golf simulator and a movie screen.Going to put a sonos system in. Current thoughts: 1- Arc (behind the screen) 1- Sub (unsure of placement but open to ideas) 2 - side/rear spears - (either fives or ones) A few questions: Is this overkill? How bad will it be if the screen isn't acoustically transparent to put a speaker behind it? Should I pick the fives or the ones? Are fives overkill? Where should I put sub? Anything else I am missing? Thanks in advance!

I am updated to Sonos and have an extensive Sonos network— I want to add N external CD player—what equipment do I need?someone told me that to do this I needed Sonos to be on a separate network from my wireless networkthat doesn’t make sense to me thanks

I am looking to buy Sonos equipment for my vacation house. I was looking for the Sonos Arc, the Amp, a pair of outdoor speakers by Sonance (built in partnership with Sonos). I’d probably need a Boost as well. I’m seeing no availability at all. From Sonos, the Arc will ship “from November 27th”. I’d really like to get them much sooner than that. Does anyone have any suggestions for where I might find these products within 2 weeks?

I currently play my music through a Sonos play 3 And am thinking of buying a Sonos one gen 2  will these pair up ok as there will be both Olin the same room

Hello,I Have a medium size family room that I want to set up 5.1 surround sound.  Just wondering if I could use Arc as the Center, left and right speaker.  Then the sub.  And 2 of sonos wired ceiling speakers as rear surround for the surround system.  (I understand I need the sonos amp for the 2 ceiling speaker).  However, do I need to have a receiver to get surround sound if I want them all to work together?How would the Arc, sub and 2 ceiling speakers work as a 5.1 system?I understand for ambient whole house I need 1 amp for each of the 2 ceiling speaker.  That part is easy to grasp but I’m stuck at the surround sound concept.  Please help.  Thanks so much!

I have two play five  in my living room, but when I play movies I don’t hear enough of voice all I hear is background music. How can I set up, and if I need to upgrade is beam  the way to go or arc

Was going to buy a turntable and a preamp. Would people recommend connecting to a Port or a Sonos 5? The Port and 5 are a similar price but didn’t know if audio would be better through either connection because of the 3.5mm jack versus RCA.  I am placing the turntable in my living room where I already have an Arc, 2 play 3’s and a sub. 

HelloI am looking at buying a Record Player for my other half for Christmas. He has mentioned buying himself a Sonos Arc to use with the TV. I therefore wondered if it was possible to get the Record Player to link to his Sonos Arc rather than buy a seperate speaker system. It would be better if it was wireless too. Longer term, looking to set up more Sonos speakers around the house, so it would be useful is solution could also play with them too. Thanks

Hello everyone,I have an outdoor living area (under cover) approximately 2500 sq ft. I would like to use Sonos wireless speakers, but I’m unsure what equipment to purchase? The sound would need to broadcast over our swimming pool and patio, with the ability to turn it off and have music inside our outdoor living area. Can anyone help me please? Thanks.

I want to buy a Beam, but my wife doesn’t want it mounted under the TV.   I can’t find any mounts that are specifically designed for mounting it above the TV, but it seems like I could just use the normal wall mount and some after-market brackets.   Can anyone recommend a specific product or give me some advice on the best way to do this?   Thanks.

I’m trying to understand the best layout for sonos that i’m about to buy.First question, about my indoor setup:In 3 rooms in my house, for each I’m planning to buy sonos speakers- and I’m trying to understand should I go for 2 units of Sonos One (to get the stereo effect), OR one unit of Sonos Five which is stronger and have deeper basses. I’d appreciate any ideas? Second question, about my outdoor setup:I have a small yard where I can put sonos speakers in a way that it’s not going to get direct rain or direct sun, yet it’ll still be outdoor. Will I be able to place a Sonos Five in there? Will it hold?  Thanks!

I have a lot of sonos products and my bridge and gen 1 play 5 are eligible for the upgrade.  This makes me assume that all of my other speakers are s2.  My question:  if I upgrade my gen 1 play 5, do I even need a bridge anymore?   can I use the trade up program with my bridge but use the discount on another speake since I, presumably, don’t need the bridge anymore?

So I have 9speakers around my house with one sonos one wired .. I have dropouts all the time. Sonos informs me I need more than one speaker wired (ratio off 1 wired to 5 wireless). So much for a wireless system. So my question is if I use a boost will it be better. I have only one place to wire in so I would be replacing cable from Sonos one to plug in boost. Sonos also informed to move speakers closer together.. so much for multi room setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Like a lot of people, I was pretty upset when I found out that the Sonos equipment I spent thousands of dollars on just a few years ago was no longer going to be eligible for updates.    Despite that, I still think the Sonos system is the right one for me.   But I really don’t want to pay a bunch more money to Sonos to replace my equipment, so I’ve started looking around for good deals on gently used Sonos components.   How can I tell whether a particular component is new enough that it’s still eligible for updates?      Thanks.

I was just hoping you might be able to help me with the setup for my Sonos Arc. I recently bought the Arc, Sub Gen 3 and 2 x Fives.The issue I'm having is how & where to place the Arc. Wall mounted or on a shelf under the TV. After looking at some videos on best positioning for Atmos, I'm not sure what option to go with. If I wall mount the Arc straight to the wall 4-6" below the TV it will be very low down, lower than ear level.So, I am considering placing a wooden strip 90x10x2.5" on the wall underneath and then mounting the Arc to that so it's secure and will clear the TV, I could then place it 4" below the TV, Or closer if that works? If closer is ok I could have the back of the Arc flush with the TV so all the speakers clear the tv and the height of the Arc would be ear level this way?If I go with a shelf it would allow me to adjust the angle of the Arc to get the best MLP distance but it wont be fixed which i would prefer with a child in the house.It would be great to get som

Hi,I own 2 connect units and have never had any Problems. The only issue I face now is that I am operating both S1 and S2 controllers. I would like to operate only S2.Do I upgrade to the Sonos Port? I have been reading on the forums that the audio quality in Variable control falls short of the connect . I have also read about numerous problems with the port.Thanks

trying to convert .cda files to mp3, cant find a proper free programany suggestions

I have an arc, gen2 sub and two ones as my rear speakers but am considering upgrading to fives if I can get a cleaner, crisper sound on audio tracks. I like the original Bose low mid sound and can’t get the equalizer to make it happen.  Funny enough, I can on the Move. 

Hello,I’m new to Sonos system and I want to purchase the Beam entertainment set that includes:1 x Beam1 x Sub2 x One SLAnd I have 2 questions before I proceed with the purchase.1) I want to place SLs in front of and left and right of the beam will Sonos system allow me that or they HAVE to be behind me?My proposal2) In addition to that I want to put two more SLs behind the couch, is that acceptable by the system so you have a “souround” system?  My main question, because I can’t access the app without speakers is, can you add as many as you like in a room and they all work together correctly?

Amps Arcam Alpha 8 & 8PSpeakers Kef Q55Do I purchase a Port and integrate with the Arcams or Amp to just drive the KEF’s. How would I connect the Arcam amps to a Port?

2 questions really. 1 I have 4 hdmi ports but no Arc or eArc. Would Sonos Arc function in a normal HDMI port. I have 4 Move speakers - would Sonos Arc connect to these.
