Potential Customer

Hi
Have a room less than 200 square feet I use for my man cave, have a bit of a noise problem in my community.

Looking at the Playbase +2 Play:1 speakers for watching TV and listening to music, mostly watching TV.

Is this a reasonable set up and will I able to use my android phone to configure to the room?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    Yes, and yes, assuming the OS on your Android phone matches what Sonos requires. See supported OS.

    At some point in the future, you might consider adding a SUB to your system, but the PLAYBASE and a pair of PLAY:1s as surrounds would be delightful.

    On the right, you'll see a huge list of Sonos videos.

    "The connect is wired direct to his router."

    The connect? I guess it could be whatever, speaker, etc?

    Yes, without checking, I'd imagine that some of those videos might be from before Sonos changed their software so that any device can act as a BRIDGE/BOOST. At this point in time, any Sonos device wired directly to your router puts the whole system in "wired" mode, where it uses SonosNet bandwidth, rather than your own wifi bandwidth.

    That's cool....I'll be able to run one of the Play:1's into my router w nothing showing.

    I thought I saw something about wifi extenders 'causing a conflict w
    Sonos products....I'm also in the process of installing some security cameras
    on my house. Maybe being "wired" would be the best way to go for me anyway.

    Extenders can be iffy, Sonos will tell you they are unsupported.

    So I set up the play 1's first and it doesn't seem to know I have a Playbase plugged in. ??
