• 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.
• 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, contact Sonos Support). See
Attach feet (optional) for more
information.
Note: Sub contains strong magnets. Don’t place it near equipment that is sensitive to magnetic fields.

If the light is distracting, you can turn it off in your room’s
settings.
Ethernet port Use an Ethernet cable to connect Sub to your home
network.
AC power (mains) input Use only the supplied power cord to connect to a power
outlet (using a third party power cord will void your
warranty). Be sure to use the proper power adapter for
your country. Push the power cord firmly into Sub until it
is flush with the surface.
Make sure at least one side of the
rectangular opening (acoustic slot) is
unobstructed.
• If you place Sub vertically flush
against a wall, don’t block the
front acoustic slot.
• 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.
