going to use it with. The center tunnel can face in any direction. If you
place Sub Mini against a wall or your furniture, leave enough clearance for
air to move freely through the center tunnel.
Note : Make sure the speaker you’re pairing Sub Mini with is already set up in your system before you add Sub Mini. Learn more about compatible products.

- Download the Sanos app from the app store if you don’t already have it. You’ll use it to set up and control your Sanos system. See SetuR for more information.
Trueplay TM
Trueplay puts professional-grade tuning in the palm of your hands. Using
the microphone on your iOS device (running iOS 8 or later), Trueplay measures
the unique acoustics of your space, then optimizes the EQ so the bass never
sounds muddy, harsh, or flat.
- Select > System, and pick the room you want to tune.
- Choose Trueplay Tuning. During tuning, you’ll move around the room holding your mobile device. Note: Trueplay tuning isn’t available if VoiceOver is enabled on your iOS device. Turn VoiceOver off in your device settings before tuning your speakers.
Change speaker pairing
You can easily change the Sonos product Sub Mini was paired with during setup.
Sub Mini is compatible with most amplified Sonos products running S2 software.
It’s recommended for use with Beam, Ray, One, One SL, and Symfonisk products.
- If you move Sub Mini to a new room, plug it back in and wait for the status light to stop flashing.
- Go to > System and choose the Sonos product Sub Mini is paired with.
- Tap Remove Sub, then pair Sub Mini with a different Sonos product. Note: When Sub Mini is paired with a Sonos speaker, you won’t see it displayed separately in your system. Any changes you make to that speaker, like volume, mute, or music selection, will also affect Sub Mini.
