The SONOS SUB

The SONOS SUB

The SONOS SUB lets you take your music experience to the next level by adding a wireless subwoofer to an existing Sonos

room of music.

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

• Because it’s wireless and compact, you can place it anywhere on the floor—vertically or horizontally.

• Automatically optimizes it's performance when used with any Sonos PLAY component or stereo pair.

• Allows you to easily optimize how the SUB works with a CONNECT:AMP and your speakers.

New to Sonos?

Set up your Sonos Wireless HiFi System with at least one amplified Sonos player— PLAY:3, PLAY:5, CONNECT:AMP (ZonePlayer

120), or ZP100—before adding the SONOS SUB to your music system. For help with this step, refer to the instructions

packaged with your other Sonos components.

• If a software update is available, be sure to update your Sonos system before adding the SONOS SUB.

• The SONOS SUB is not designed for use with an unamplified Sonos player, including the SONOS CONNECT (ZonePlayer

90) or ZP80.

Once you’ve set up your music system, you can add additional Sonos components any time (up to 32 rooms.).
