Dear Sonos,

 

I m looking for getting an ambient sound with some solid mellow (ambient) bass in the open plan room of my house which is 12.5 m * 4.5 m. The feeling and sound of ambient is as if the sound is not coming from a particular speaker but rather from the room as a whole. Another example is as if you are in a summer open air club which is not crowded and so many speakers working at the same time playing some lo-fi music. I will not be listening only to lo-fi but all kinds of music

In the open plan room, a kitchen, dining table, and living room in this particular order are included.

I am considering purchasing 4 play one’s and mounting them on top of the walls in the four corners.

How does this purchase sound and will it provide the sound i m looking for?

Thanks

George

@ggman A Sonos One mounted at the four corners of the room could work, but for a cleaner solution that will produce the ambient sound you want to achieve, you could install four to six Sonance Architectural in-ceiling speakers and power them with a Sonos Amp.

I agree that ceiling speakers would be a good application choice here.  One of the potential issues is going with  Sonos Ones in the corners is that you would either make them 2 stereo pairs, which would not be idea for control or sound quality for the space (mono would be better with the speakers that far apart) or 4 separate rooms.  You would have to group all 4 and and could control volume separately.  Maybe that’s a plus.

 

I like the ceiling speakers as  it would be one room in Sonos, with the option to play speakers in mono or stereo depending on your needs at the time.
