Sub settings
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. Ta p 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.
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.
• 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).
• Select the size of your stereo speakers (Connect:Amp only).
• Press Play to compare the volume of two test sounds, A and B, and then select No Difference,
A is louder or B is louder.
• Press Play to listen to a test sound, and then select the level you prefer.
Pair Sub with a different speaker
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.
