AC power (mains) input
Use only the supplied power cord to connect to a power outlet (using a third party power cord will void your warranty). Be sure to use the proper power adapter for your country. Push the power cord firmly into Sub until it is flush with the surface.
Select a location
Choose a location–Sub is designed to provide optimal sound wherever you place
it. Use the acoustic slot as a handle to lift Sub out of the box. You should
always bend your knees when lifting heavy objects to avoid undue stress on
your back.
Make sure at least one side of the slot is free from obstruction. If you place
it vertically against a wall, don’t block the front opening.
If you place Sub horizontally on the floor, don’t put anything on top of it.
Leave at least 1″ clearance along the top of Sub if placing under furniture.
Sub is designed to sit on the floor. You can place it in a corner, against the
wall, behind, under, or next to any piece of furniture on any kind of floor
surface.
Position Sub either vertically or horizontally. If you’re going to use it
horizontally, you can attach permanent felt feet. See Attach feet (optional)
for more information.
Connect the cables
1
Attach the power cord and plug in
Sub. Be sure to push the power cord
firmly into Sub until it is flush with the
surface.
2
Download the Sonos app from the
app store if you don’t already have it.
You’ll use it to set up and control your
Sonos system. See Setup for more
information.
Note: Make sure you set up at least
one compatible speaker before
adding Sub.
Note: After Sub is paired with a Sonos speaker, you won’t see it displayed separately in your system. Any changes you make to the speaker it’s paired with, like volume, mute, or music selection, will also affect Sub.
Attach feet (optional)
If you’re placing Sub horizontally on a floor, you can attach permanent felt
feet (purchased separately) to protect your floor. If you’re putting it on a
rug or using it vertically, no need to adhere the felt feet. Note: The felt
feet are not removable–a strong adhesive will keep them permanently attached
to Sub.
1. Lay Sub down so the Sonos logo is facing down. Make sure you adhere the
felt feet to the side that doesn’t have the Sonos logo.
2. Place the enclosed guide on one corner of the unit and fold the flaps over
the edge.
3. Peel the backing off one of the feet.
4. Press the felt foot (sticky side down) onto the unit inside the circular
portion of the guide.
5. Attach the other 3 felt feet the same way.
Product settings

Sub level
Use the slider to increase or decrease volume. (You can use this setting to match the subwoofer level to the level of your main speakers.)
Phase control
Choose 0° or 180° to set the phase control for your Sonos Sub or third-party
subwoofer (flip if you don’t hear enough bass in your usual listening
position).
When a room with a Sonos Sub is tuned using Trueplay, phase control is set and
can’t be changed unless you disable Trueplay.
Reset
Resets all Sub audio settings to their default values (0).
Change speaker pairing
You can easily change the Sonos speaker your sub is paired with. If you’re
moving it to a new room, wait for the status light to stop flashing after you
plug the sub back in.
1. Go to > System and choose the speaker your sub is paired with. It appears
as [speaker name (+Sub)] in your list of rooms.
2. Tap Remove Sub. You can pair the sub with a different Sonos product or
choose not to use it right now. It will appear as “unused” in your list of
products until you pair it with another Sonos speaker.
Connect a second Sub
You can easily connect a second Sub to your Sonos system. Note: At least one
Sub must be a Sub (Gen 3). If the button on the side is round instead of
square, it’s a Sub (Gen 3). You cannot pair a Sub Mini with a Sub.
1. Go to > System and choose the speaker Sub is paired with. It appears as
room (+Sub) in your list of rooms.
