My Five pair in stereo is amazing, the vibes make me feel something special! And when I want to watch something on the big screen I’ll just add them to the beam for intense surround sound.

Anyone having trouble finding a sweet spot / triangular sound with a pair of Era 300s? I’ve experimented with room placement, toe-in, done TruePlay before vs. after pairing as a stereo, adjusted EQ and Height. Despite such, sitting slightly to one side of a sofa renders the vocal much more prominent on that side of the listening vs. ideally in the center stage. Any help is most appreciated!

Hi Sonos. I have a small room. No space to use Era 300 behind or to the side . Can you please unable the Era 300 to use a pair + Sonos Sub as a Dolby Atmos system for my TV (with AppleTv 4K)? Tanks

Haven't got into Spatial audio and Atmos content is still limited on streaming services. I will stick with the Fives with my Arc+dual subs until the Era 500 come out.

@thefilmpoets Жыл бұрын

You can’t make the fives and arc and sub work together can you? I’d love to have fives and a sub for music and arc with the same sub for movies.

@mrgold3591 Жыл бұрын

@@thefilmpoets The Fives work perfectly with the Arc and dual subs. Sonos kinda de-tunes the Fives in surround sound duties because the sub(s) take most of the low bass frequencies. You might have to add/delete the Fives/sub from the Home theater group if you want the best possible sound of the Five+sub with music only.

@@mrgold3591 I have the same setup but with only one sub. Was thinking of getting the second sub but wondering if the two subs would “share” the bass and not double the bass….(hope that makes sense). What has your experience been?

@mrgold3591 Жыл бұрын

@@Lotusandletters I have a Beam Gen 2, Gen 3 Sub, and One SLs in my office on a LG OLED 55C1. There is a noticeable increase in bass sound/feel when watching the same content on the Arc/2X sub/Five on my LG OLED 77C1. My main TV room is 3X larger than my office. The dual subs do a wonderful job of filling the space without it feeling it is directional (subs on either side of Arc). I don't know how much the rear Fives are contributing to the bass sound/feel compared to my One SLs in the other room. Going with dual subs is like going to a stereo pair from a single speaker type of experience. Dual subs might be too much if placed in a small/med space.

Which is more powerful Sonos was 300 or the five ???

@sonos Жыл бұрын

Hi Alexander! Great question. Both are great and powerful in their own ways, and the right option for you will depend on what you are looking for in a listening experience. If you are an audiophile who also loves listening to tunes on vinyl, Sonos Five may be the one for you. It offers a premium hi-fi listening experience and sounds great in stereo. Era 300 is amazing in that you get an immersive listening experience with Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos. Add Era 300 to a home theater setup, and you're golden! You can also connect Era 300 to a turntable using the line-in adapter. Let us know if you have additional questions about either system.

Im contemplating on buying an arc soundbar, sub woofer and 2 Era 300s. My question is if I want to play music will all the speakers play music independently ?

@sonos Жыл бұрын

Thanks for considering Sonos! When playing music, audio can stream across all the speakers together if they are grouped together via the Sonos app. You can find more information on how to do this here: support.sonos.com/article/group-and-ungroup-rooms For stereo pairing, Sonos speakers of the same model can be bonded together as a single room in the Sonos app, providing a wider stereo experience. You can learn more about which systems support stereo pairing here: support.sonos.com/article/create-a-stereo-pair Hope this information is helpful!

@sonos Жыл бұрын

Hi there! Thanks for your question. Both setups are great options. It will just depend on your preference. With two Era 300s, you'll be able to experience stereo surround sound, and with a Sonos Sub, you'll get rich bass. We recommend trying out the different configurations at a Sonos retailer near you to get a sense of the sound experience: www.sonos.com/storelocator

@sonos Жыл бұрын

Sounds like you've got quite an impressive setup already! Adding a pair of Era 300s will definitely enhance the setup with Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos. Plus, it's compatible with the Arc. Give it a try, and you can always take advantage of our 45-day, no-questions-asked return/exchange policy if you’re unhappy with them.

I am really disappointed with all surround speakers such as Sonos One, Sonos Five, and Sonos Era 300 because there is no dialogue in the surround speakers and only effects sounds coming. My parents are watching TV a lot when they are sitting in the living room and when they watch News, sport, etc. they really disappoint with kind of these surround speakers without dialogue. What is the goal of 3D system? It has to be the sound comes from each speaker. They are sitting in the back and always increasing the sound level because the dialogue comes only from Sonos Arc and not from surround speakers. I changed the Sonos system to Sony HT-A9 with SA-SW5 subwoofer and they are so happy and they can sit wherever in the living room and they can hear the dialogue and effects sound at the same time. I hope from Sonos rethinks of the surround speakers. They are not only for effect sound, but we are looking even so with dialogue so wherever somebody sit in the living room can hear not need to increase the sound level until to hear the dialogue from Sonos Arc only. Why we have to buy around $1000 for surround speakers just to give us effect sound!!!!

What you are describing is not surround sound. What you want are multiple speakers. Surround sound needs to be with a 5.1 output to get the best experience. It's not meant to play the same thing everywhere, it's meant to accentuate spatial audio in things like movies. Not for news stations.

Hi Cattie! Thanks for your note. You cannot use Era 300 speakers as fronts at this time, but we are always listening to feedback from customers, and it's possible that this type of configuration could be available in the future.

@cattiegecer4429 Жыл бұрын

I don’t mean as front speakers. If I compare it with the Sonos five they are disappointed. The atmos function is nice to have but only a few movies and music does provide this. The point I am making is. They can make it a much convenient and powerful speaker without loosing the side and top function if they add more power to the front speaker of the Era 300. This way if you use it as rear/back stereo speakers it wil preform much better and it will sell better. I see this and hear this from many buyers who bought the era 300 and hoped to have a complete speaker. But got disappointed. I hope Sonos wil upgrade the sound level of the front speaker a bit more. For my I returned my set and got back to a set of Sonos Five as rear set of my set with the arc and sub3
