Use the Sonos app on your mobile device. Within the settings, tap on “Add speaker or sub” and allow your mobile device to scan for your Sonos Sub. To confirm the pairing, press the pair button on your Sonos Sub Gen 3. This Button is located on the side of your Sonos device. It should look like an upright oval. 4. Choose A Room Many people will notice that the Sub Gen 3 looks almost comparable to its predecessor. However, when all of the Sub Gen 3’s minor enhancements are evaluated, it’s clear that there’s more to it than meets the eye.

Called the Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc, this Sonos setup consists of two Era 300 speakers, a Sonos Arc and a Sonos Sub. (Image credit: Sonos) One 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port. You can plug a Sonos product directly into your router if your WiFi is unstable It weighs a hefty 6.3kg, so this isn’t a speaker you’ll want to shift around the room too often. A problem with the cylindrical body is that it can’t be laid horizontally and slid out underneath a couch, it’s form doesn’t allow for that aspect of convenience. Connections are kept simple with an Ethernet port for hardwired connection to the Internet. Moreover, you can keep it in a standing position or even lay it flat to give it a discreet look. It can perfectly fit into any space due to its flexible orientation. None of the positions will impact the sound effects and quality of Sub Gen 3. Sonos Five is an ideal option only if you down own a pair. A sub added to a pair of Five will be a bit too much because the latter is already capable enough to manage the bass. However, if you want to keep them in a large room, then a sub can be a great addition to the system.The Sonos Sub differs in that it has a rectangular shape, sculpted like ‘O’ but with rounded corners with the same cut-out in the middle. It’s double the weight of the Mini (13kg) as well as being taller and wider.

Tune with Trueplay. Trueplay puts the speaker-tuning capability of the pros in the palm of your hands, adapting and optimizing the sound of the speaker to the unique acoustics of the room. iOS device required. Sonos first introduced a wireless subwoofer in 2012. Today’s brand new Sub is the third generation of this excellent addition for any Sonos system. The new Sonos sub is designed to augment the bass of any Sonos speakers or can even be used with your speakers if you are powering them with a Sonos Amp. Design

Let’s cover the positives and the negatives of the Sonos Sub gen 3. It is quite imposing and weighty, so you need to find space for it. In a small apartment, for example, it might not be suitable. Also if you have a move, the Sub is a no-go, unfortunately, as the Sonos app doesn’t let you pair it. Pros: big bass upgrade in a compact form, super stable, can be paired with all Sonos/Ikea plug-in speakers, extremely well-judged low notes, adds range and dynamism to paired speakers, can be placed anywhere with access to a plug in the room, easy setup, long support life. If you already have a Sonos Playbar, Arc, or the Beam, you are probably wondering whether the Sonos Sub is a great addition or surround speakers would do the work. Both will have a different impact on the home theatre system. You can use both in conjunction with Alexa. The Trueplay program will still be available for iOS users to help adjust the Sub to your room’s particular acoustics. You’ll also benefit from the smooth integration with the Sonos system.

You will notice that your Sonos device has been detected after a few seconds of scanning. Next, tap on “Continue to set up this speaker” to move on to the next step. 3. Press The Button On The Side Sonos has a variety of speakers that can work more efficiently with the Sub paired. Sub gen 3 is suitable for movies due to the extraordinary sound effects. It amplifies these effects and provides a better experience. Sonos Sub 2 came out in 2012 and became a hit with the audience. Eight years later, the company came up with an upgraded version. Below are some factors that will help you differentiate between the two. Design You can choose anywhere in your room, and it won’t impact the performance. Recommended Sonos speakers to be paired with the SubWhen playing music, they will certainly fill the room for you, but music generally doesn’t come with surround channels. If you have the Arc and you’re not sure whether to add the Sub or surrounds first my personal preference would probably be to add the Sub first because the Arc already has drivers responsible for throwing sound far and wide. And while this isn’t quite as good as having dedicated surround speakers it does go some of the ways. Whereas in the beam there are no sideways or upward-firing drivers so if I had a beam I’d probably lean more towards adding the surrounds. First, but this is, of course, personal preference. Sonos’ sub is also a natural companion to Arc, which is the largest soundbar Sonos produces. Although the Arc provides usable bass on its own, it is nowhere near the subwoofer at the really deep frequencies.
