Note: Voice control isn’t supported in every country yet—this feature will be available as soonas Sonos and a voice service launch together in your region.

Trueplay™

Every room is different. True play tuning measures how sound reflects off walls, furnishings,and other surfaces in a room, then fine tunes your Sonos speaker to make sure it sounds great no matter where you’ve placed it. Trueplay works on iOS mobile devices running iOS 8 or later. During tuning, you’ll move around the room holding your mobile device.

1. Select >System, and pick the room you want to tune.
2. Choose True play Tuning to get started.

Auto Trueplay

Portable Sonos products like Sonos Roam and Move can tune themselves automatically. AutoTrueplay uses your speaker’s microphone to detect the environment and make periodic tuning adjustments so you get great sound wherever your speaker is and whatever you’re listening to. Go to >System , and select your portable speaker to turn on auto True play.

Set up stereo pair

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

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

1. 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.
2. Go to >System.
3. Select one of the speakers you want to use in the stereo pair, then choose Set Up Stereo Pair to get started.
