Adding a SUB
You can bond the Sonos SUB with any amplified Sonos player, including a PLAYBAR, CONNECT:AMP,
PLAY:1, PLAY:3, or PLAY:5. You cannot bond it with an un-amplified Sonos player such as the CONNECT.
• The SUB is compatible with Sonos software versions 3.8 and later. Be sure to check for software
updates before adding the SUB to your Sonos system.
1. Choose a location for the SUB. It is designed to provide optimal sound wherever you place it.
• You can position the SUB either vertically or horizontally. If you are going to use the SUB horizontally on
a smooth floor, you can attach the 4 permanent felt feet (included with your SUB) to each of the corners.
See Attaching the SUB feet for horizontal placement for more information.
• The SUB is designed to be located 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.
2. Attach the power adapter and plug in the SUB. Be sure to push the power cord firmly into the SUB until it
is flush with the surface.
You can bond the SUB with any amplified Sonos player, including a PLAYBAR, CONNECT:AMP, PLAY:1,
PLAY:3, or PLAY:5. (The player must be added to your Sonos system before you bond the SUB.)
Caution: Subwoofers are heavy. Exercise caution when unpacking your SUB. Use
the acoustic slot as a handle to lift the SUB out of the box. (You should always
bend your knees when lifting heavy objects to avoid undue stress on your back.)
Note: The SUB contains strong magnets. Don’t place the SUB near equipment
that is sensitive to magnetic fields.
Make sure at least one side of the
rectangular opening (acoustic slot) is
unobstructed.
• If you place the SUB vertically flush
against a wall, do not block the front
acoustic slot.
• If you place the SUB horizontally on
the floor, don’t put anything on top
of it. Leave at least 1” clearance
along the top of the SUB if placing
under furniture.
