SONOS SUB (04) PDF Document

Here’s what you’ll need:

• WiFi: Have your network name and password ready.

• Mobile device: Connected to the same WiFi. You’ll use this for setup.

• Sonos S2 app: You’ll use it to set up and control your Sonos system – choose what to play, where to play it, and how loud. Install the app on the mobile device you’re using for setup. (If you’re upgrading from the Sonos S1 app, you can remove S1 from your device after you upgrade.)

• A Sonos account: If you don’t have an account, you’ll create one during setup.

Download the app from the app store on your mobile device. Open the app and we’ll guide you through setup.

Once your Sonos system is set up, you can use your computer to control the music, too.

Setting up Sonos on your home WiFi is the answer for most homes.

If your WiFi is slow, doesn’t reach all the rooms where you want to use Sonos, or is already in high demand you can connect a Sonos product to your router with an Ethernet cable to create a separate wireless network just for your Sonos system.

Note: Your Sonos products and the mobile device with the Sonos app need to be on the same WiFi network. You can switch between wired and wireless setup if something changes in your home.

You can easily add a new Sonos product anytime – just plug it in, open the Sonos app on your mobile device, and tap > System > Add Product.

If you need to verify your user ID, change a password, or transfer your account to a different email address, open the app on your mobile device and tap the settings icon > Account.

If Account isn’t available, your system needs to be updated.

You can restrict access to explicit music.

Open the app on your mobile device and tap the settings icon > System > Parental Controls.

Sign into your Sonos account to set filter options.

Note: You can also limit the maximum volume for a room.

The SONOS SUB offers several features to enhance your audio experience:

• Instantly adds a dimension of deep bass impact to your audio listening experience.

• Pair Sub (Gen 3) with any other Sub and feel the bass from every corner of the room.

• Allows placement anywhere because it’s wireless and compact – position it vertically or horizontally on any floor surface.

• The top of the acoustic slot doubles as a handle so you can lift it.

• Sub (Gen 3) is compatible with Sonos S2 only.

Note: Sonos Sub is designed for use with most Sonos speakers, except Sonos Connect, Port and Move. Make sure you set up at least one speaker before adding Sub.

The SONOS SUB is designed to provide optimal sound wherever you place it. Here are some guidelines:

• Use the acoustic slot as a handle to lift Sub out of the box. You should always bend your knees when lifting heavy objects to avoid undue stress on your back.

• Make sure at least one side of the slot is free from obstruction. If you place it vertically against a wall, don’t block the front opening. If you place Sub horizontally on the floor, don’t put anything on top of it. Leave at least 1″ clearance along the top of Sub if placing under furniture.

• Sub is designed to sit on the floor. You can place it in a corner, against the wall, behind, under, or next to any piece of furniture on any kind of floor surface.

• Position Sub either vertically or horizontally. If you’re going to use it horizontally, you can attach permanent felt feet (available upon request).

Note: Sub contains strong magnets. Don’t place it near equipment that is sensitive to magnetic fields.

If you’re placing the Sub horizontally on a floor, you can attach permanent felt feet to protect your floor. If you’re putting it on a rug or using it vertically, no need to adhere the felt feet.

Note: The felt feet are not removable – a strong adhesive will keep them permanently attached to Sub.

1. Lay Sub down so the Sonos logo is facing down. Make sure you adhere the felt feet to the side that doesn’t have the Sonos logo.

2. Place the enclosed guide on one corner of the unit and fold the flaps over the edge.

3. Peel the backing off one of the feet.

4. Press the felt foot (sticky side down) onto the unit inside the circular portion of the guide.

5. Attach the other 3 felt feet the same way.

Attach the power cord and plug in Sub. Be sure to push the power cord firmly into Sub until it is flush with the surface.

If you don’t have the app, download it from the app store. You’ll use it to set up and control your Sonos system. Make sure you set up at least one speaker before adding Sub.

Sub’s settings are set during the initial setup process, but you can make changes anytime.

1. Go to the sound settings for the room that’s associated with your Sub. It appears as room (+Sub) in your list of rooms.

2. Tap Sub Audio.

3. Choose one of the following options:

• Sub: Choose On or Off to turn the sound from Sub on and off.

• Sub Level: Use the slider to increase or decrease volume. (You can use this setting to match the subwoofer level to the level of your main speakers.)

• Phase Control: Choose 0° or 180° to set the phase control for your Sonos Sub or third-party subwoofer. This can help integrate your subwoofer with other speakers in the room. (You’ll see this setting when you pair a Sonos Sub or third-party subwoofer with a Sonos Amp or Connect:Amp.)

• Crossover Frequency: Adjust the frequency at which the sound transitions to the subwoofer. By default this is 80 Hz.

• Recalibrate Sub. If you move your Sub to another location, purchase new speakers, or just want to adjust the sound after initial setup, you can recalibrate Sub (Android devices only).

You may wish to choose a different crossover frequency if:

• The main speakers sound distorted at high volumes – moving to a smaller speaker size setting can help.

• Your attention is drawn to Sub’s location while listening to music – moving to a larger speaker size setting can help.

You can easily pair Sub with a different Sonos speaker (except the Sonos Connect). If you’re moving Sub to a new room, wait for the status light to stop flashing after you plug it back in.

1. Go to the sound settings for the room that’s associated with your Sub. It appears as room (+Sub) in your list of rooms.

There are lots of ways to get the music playing on Sonos:

• The Sonos app. The free Sonos app is the easiest way to play anything and everything on Sonos. Simply open the app, tap the browse icon and choose from the list of music sources.

• Voice commands. If you have a voice-enabled Sonos speaker, you can use your voice to play and control the music. Ask Alexa to play your favorite radio station or the top hits on Spotify.

• Controls on the speaker. If you’re near a speaker, you can use the speaker controls to adjust volume, stop the music, or change the song.

• Another streaming app. Control Sonos directly from a different app (like Spotify, Pandora, or Pocket Casts). Just open the app and connect to a Sonos room or group to start the music.

• Airplay 2. Use AirPlay 2 to stream music, movies, podcasts, and more directly from your favorite apps to your Sonos speakers. Listen to Apple Music on your Sonos One. Watch a YouTube or Netflix video and enjoy the sound on Sonos.

You can use your voice to play and control songs, playlists, radio stations, and more.

• Amazon Alexa: you’ll need the Sonos app and the Alexa app with the Sonos skill enabled. You’ll make some changes in both apps during setup.

• The Google Assistant: you’ll need the Sonos app and the Google Assistant app. You’ll make some changes in both apps during setup.

• Siri: you’ll need the Apple Home app. Add your AirPlay 2-compatible Sonos speakers to the Apple Home app and then use an iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV to ask Siri to play music (currently limited to Apple Music).
