Select a location

You can put your speaker just about anywhere. For maximum performance, here’s a fewguidelines:

Five is a substantial and powerful speaker and should be placed on a flat surface that isrobust and durable enough to properly support it. Make sure Five’s rubber feet sitcompletely on the flat surface.
Allow at least 2″ perimeter all around Five, including its power cord.
For a single Five speaker, we recommend positioning the speaker horizontally to enablestereo sound.
Place Five across the room from where you’ll be listening (at or close to your ear heightfor best results).
For stereo pair placement information, see Set up stereo pair
Five is humidity resistant so you can use it in the bathroom; however it is not waterresistant, so don’t position it near water or leave it outside during a rain storm.

Set up stereo pair

Pair two Sonos speakers in the same room for a wider, stereo experience. One speakerserves as the left channel and one serves as the right channel.

Note : The Sonos speakers in a stereo pair must be the same type.

Place the speakers 8 to 10 feet apart. Your favorite listening position should be 8 to 12feet from the paired speakers—less distance increases bass, more distance improvesstereo imaging.
Go to > System .
Select one of the speakers you want to use in the stereo pair, then choose Set Up StereoPair to get started. Learn more

Set up surrounds

It’s easy to turn two Sonos speakers (same model), or a Sonos Amp and your favorite non-Sonos speakers, into separate right and left channels for your home theater.

Place each surround speaker about 10ft from your favorite listening position, angling themtoward the seating area.
Go to > System .
Select a room with a soundbar and choose Add Surrounds to get started.

Note : If you group the rooms or create a stereo pair instead, you won’t have surround sound. Learn more
