Select a location
You can put your speaker just about anywhere. For maximum performance, here’s a few guidelines:
- Move 2 sounds great even when placed next to a wall or on a shelf. For best performance, leave at least 1″ (2.5cm) space around the back of the speaker.
- It’s ultra durable. With a tough outer shell and IP54 rating, Sonos Move 2 is built to withstand falls, bumps, moisture, dust, UV rays, and extreme temperatures. Just don’t leave it out in a rainstorm, and remember that the included charging base is for indoor use only.
- When the microphone is on, the speaker tunes itself with automatic TrueplayTM for amazing sound no matter where you are and what you’re listening to.
- Don’t use or store your Sonos speaker upside down.
Bluetooth pairing
- Turn Bluetooth on in your device settings.
- Press and hold the Bluetooth button on the back of the speaker until you hear a tone, then release. The status light blinks blue when the speaker is ready to pair.

Charging
-
Charging base

- Make sure the speaker is seated properly in the base and the charging contacts are touching.
- Use only the supplied power cord with the charging base (using a third-party power cord will void your warranty).

-
USB-C port
- For charging on the go.
- Use a compatible USB-PD certified charger.
Microphone on/off
There are two ways to control the microphones on Move 2:
A universal microphone switch on the back of the speaker turns all microphones
on and off. A voice services button on top of the speaker turns voice services
on and off without affecting the microphones needed for Trueplay and other
microphone-dependent features.
- When both are on, voice control and all microphone-enabled features are available.
- When both are off, voice control and and all microphone-enabled features are unavailable.
- When the universal microphone switch is on and the voice services light is off, Trueplay and other microphone-enabled features are available but voice control is off.
Voice services
Use your voice to control your Sonos system with any voice-enabled Sonos product—play and control content, turn the volume up or down, and more.
- Sonos Voice Control: control your whole Sonos system with hands-free ease and unmatched privacy. Sonos Voice Control comes ready to use—it only takes a few seconds to add when you set up your speakers. More information
- Amazon Alexa: you’ll need the Sonos app and the Alexa app with the Sonos skill enabled. You’ll make some changes in both apps during setup. Learn more
- Siri: you’ll need the Apple Home app. Add your AirPlay2-compatible Sonos speakers to the Apple Home app and then use an iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV to ask Siri to play music (currently limited to Apple Music). Learn more
Note: Voice control isn’t supported in every country yet—this feature will be available as soon as Sonos and a voice service launch together in your region.
Trueplay™
Trueplay 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 place it.
During setup, choose the Trueplay option that works best for you and your
space. To retune later, go to > System, choose a room, and select Trueplay.
Advanced tuning
Advanced tuning is custom and precise. It takes about 5 minutes and uses the
microphone on an iOS device (running iOS 8 or later) so you’ll move around the
room while the sound is fine tuned for your space.
Note: Advanced tuning is the best choice for large rooms (open concept spaces
may experience less precise tuning).
Quick tuning
Quick tuning is fast, effortless, and accessible. It takes about a minute and
uses the microphone on your Sonos product to detect the environment so there’s
no need to move around the room during tuning.
Note: Quick tuning is available for both iOS and Android, and is a good choice
for smaller rooms, or spaces where it’s difficult to move easily.
Auto Trueplay
Portable Sonos products like Sonos Roam and Move can tune themselves
automatically. Auto Trueplay 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 Trueplay.
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.
- Place the speakers 8 to 10 feet apart. Your favorite listening position should be 8 to 12 feet from the paired speakers—less distance increases bass, more distance improves stereo imaging.
- GO to > > System.
- Select one of the speakers you want to use in the stereo pair, then choose Set Up Stereo Pair to get started.
Product settings
You can customize Sonos products for your surroundings. Go to >System and select a product.
