Getting started
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Wi-Fi—have your network name and password ready. See Sonos requirements.
- Mobile device—connected to the same Wi-Fi. You’ll use this for setup.
- The Sonos app—you’ll use it to set up and control your Sonos system (install it on the mobile device you’re using for setup).
- A Sonos account—If you don’t have an account, you’ll create one during setup. See Sonos accounts for more information.
New to Sonos?
Download the app from the app store on your mobile device. Open the app and we’ll guide you through setup.Once your Sonos system is set up, you can use your computer to control the music too. Get the app at www.sonos.com/support/downloads.For the latest system requirements and compatible audio formats, go to https://faq.sonos.com/specs.
Already have Sonos?
You can easily add new speakers anytime (up to 32). Just plug in the speaker and tap > Add Speakers.If you’re adding a Boost, plug it in and tap > Settings > Add Boost or Bridge.
Sonos requirementsYour Sonos speakers and the mobile device with the Sonos app need to be on the same Wi-Fi network.
Wireless setup
Setting up Sonos on your home Wi-Fi is the answer for most homes. You just need:
- High-speed DSUcable modem (or fiber-to-the-home broadband connection).
- 4 GHz 802.11b/g/n wireless home network.
Note: Satellite internet access may cause playback issues.
If you ever start to experience temperamental Wi-Fi, you can easily switch to a wired setup.
Wired setup
Connect a Sonos Boost or speaker to your router with an Ethernet cable if:
- Your Wi-Fi is slow, temperamental, or doesn’t reach all the rooms where you want to use Sonos.
- Your network is already in high demand with streaming video and internet usage and you want a separate wireless network just for your Sonos system.
- Your network is 5 GHz only (not switchable to 2.4 GHz).
- Your router supports only 802.11n (you can’t change the settings to support 802.11b/g/n).
Note: For uninterrupted playback, use an Ethernet cable to connect the computer or NAS drive that has your music library files to your router.
If you want to change to wireless setup later, see Switch to wireless setup for more information.

| Volume up (+) | See Status indicators for a complete list. |
| Volume down (-) | Press to adjust the volume up and down. |
| Ethernet port (5) | You can use an Ethernet cable (supplied) to connect the SYMFONISK to a router, computer, or additional network device such as network-attached storage (NAS) device. |
| AC power (mains) input (100 – 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz) | Use only the supplied power cord to connect to a power outlet (using a third-party power cord will voidyour warranty).Insert the power cord firmly into the SYMFONISK until it is flush with the bottom of the unit. |
Selecting a locationPlace SYMFONISK on a solid stable surface. For maximum enjoyment, we have a few guidelines:The SYMFONISK is designed to work well even when placed next to a wall or other surface.Care should be taken if placing the SYMFONISK close to an older CRT (cathode ray tube) television. If you notice any discoloration or distortion of your picture quality, simply move the SYMFONISK further from the television.
Adding to an existing Sonos systemOnce you’ve got your Sonos music system set up, you can easily add more Sonos products any time (up to 32).
- Select a location for your SYMFONISK (see Selecting a location above for optimal placement guidelines.)
- Attach the power cord to the SYMFONISK and apply power. Be sure to push the power cord firmly into the bottom of the SYMFONISK until it is flush with the bottom of the unit.Note: If you want to make a wired connection, connect a standard Ethernet cable from your router (or a live network wall plate if you have built-in wiring) to the Ethernet port on the back of a Sonos product.
- Choose the following options:On a mobile device, go to More -> Settings -> Add a Player or SUB and follow the prompts.
Tune your room with Trueplay™ *Every room is different. With Trueplay tuning, you can put your Sonos speakers wherever you want. Trueplay analyzes room size, layout, décor, speaker placement, and any other acoustic factors that can impact sound quality. Then it literally adjusts how each woofer and tweeter produces sound in that room (works on mobile devices running iOS 11 or later ).*iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch is needed to setup TrueplayGo to More -> Settings -> Room Settings. Pick a room and tap Trueplay Tuning to get started.
Note: Trueplay tuning isn’t available if VoiceOver is enabled on your iOS device. If you want to tune your speakers, first turn VoiceOver off in your device settings.Creating a stereo pairYou can group two identical SYMFONISK speakers in the same room to create a wider stereo experience. In this configuration, one speaker serves as the left channel and the other serves as the right channel.Note: The SYMFONISK speakers in the stereo pair must be the same model.
Optimum placement informationWhen creating a stereo pair, it is best to place the two Sonos products 8 to 10 feet away from each other.Your favorite listening position should be 8 to 12 feet from the paired Sonos products. Less distance will increase bass, more distance will improve stereo imaging.
Using the Sonos app on a mobile device
- Go to More -> Settings -> Room Settings.
- Select an SYMFONISK to pair.
- Select Create Stereo Pair, and follow the prompts to set up the stereo pair.
To separate a stereo pair:
