SONOS Five High Fidelity Speaker

SONOS Five High Fidelity Speaker FIG
2

SONOS USER GUIDE

Five
The high-fidelity speaker for superior sound—

Three woofers provide deep bass within a sealed architecture that eliminates reverb and echo. Two side tweeters create an ultra wide soundstage while a center tweeter optimizes vocal playback.
Use the line-in port to connect your turntable or another device—simple control with the Sonos S2 app or Apple AirPlay 2.
Versatile design with smart orientation sensing. Pair two speakers horizontally and Five automatically separates the left and right channels for impressive stereo sound. When paired vertically, each smartly adjusts to mono for more detailed stereo separation and an even wider soundstage.
Pair two Fives for left-right stereo sound or use two Fives as rear surrounds for your home theater.
Set up and control with the Sonos app (for Android and iOS).
See Getting started when you’re ready to add a Five to your Sonos system.

Join button
Press to connect during setup.

Ethernet port
Use an Ethernet cable if you want to connect to a router, computer, or network-attached storage (NAS) device(optional).

AC power (mains) input
Use only the supplied power cord (using a third-party power cord will void your warranty).
Note: Insert the power cord firmly until it is flush with the bottom of the speaker.

Stereo audio in (3.5mm / 1/8″)
Use to connect external music players.

Select a location
You can put your speaker just about anywhere. For maximum performance, we have a few guidelines:

The Five is a substantial and powerful speaker and should be placed on a flat surface that is robust and durable enough to properly support it. Make sure Five’s rubber feet sit completely 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 enable stereo sound.
Place Five across the room from where you’ll be listening (at or close to your ear height for best results).
For stereo pair placement information, see Stereo pairs.
The Five is humidity resistant so you can use it in the bathroom; however it is not water resistant so don’t position it near water or leave it outside during a rain storm.

Speaker mounts and stands
For wall mount kits or stands, tailored to perfectly fit your Sonos products, see Accessories on our website. Follow the instructions in the kit.
Line-in
Connect an external source like a phono preamp (your turntable may have a built-in phone preamp), or other audio device. Learn more.
