The Sonos Sub 4 is an innovative wireless subwoofer that enhances your wireless Sonos system. With just a power outlet and a straightforward setup through the Sonos app, you can experience rich, deep bass that fills the room. Pair it with a couple of wireless Sonos speakers to create a true stereo system with minimal cabling. Additionally, the Sub 4 can be utilized with the Sonos Amp and traditional hi-fi speakers.

For an immersive TV and movie experience, the Sonos Sub 4 works seamlessly with a Sonos soundbar and potentially two wireless Sonos speakers for surround sound. This setup offers the convenience of wireless technology, eliminating the clutter of traditional home theater systems. The powerful bass enhances action scenes and sound effects, delivering impactful audio. For even greater depth, you can connect a second Sub 4, ensuring a robust sound experience.

Featuring two bass drivers positioned to face each other within the cabinet, the Sonos Sub 4 minimizes cabinet vibrations, resulting in clean, distortion-free bass. Its versatile design allows it to be placed either upright or horizontally, providing flexibility in placement, such as under a sofa.

This fourth-generation Sonos Sub is available in matte white or matte black finishes, complementing the aesthetics of Sonos soundbars and other wireless speakers. An optional wall mount is also available for those seeking additional installation options.

Sonos integrates seamlessly with popular streaming services like TIDAL (including TIDAL HiFi), Spotify, Deezer, and Apple Music, granting access to over 40 million songs. You can control your music effortlessly from your smartphone or tablet (iOS/Android) or from a PC/Mac.

For those who enjoy having their music readily available on their smartphone, Sonos offers excellent support. When connected to your wireless network, you can easily launch the Sonos app, choose “This Phone,” and stream music directly from your personal music library. Additionally, your phone or tablet serves as an ideal storage solution for tracks that may not be accessible through streaming services, including a select few artists that remain unavailable for various reasons.

LOADS OF OPTIONS FOR DISCERTAIN EARS

Sonos allows you to stream audio at full CD quality, enabling you to create a high-fidelity audio setup. You can achieve this by streaming from a “lossless” music service like TIDAL HiFi or by accessing your personal music library stored on a PC or network hard drive, provided your CDs have been ripped in lossless format.

The wireless music systems, Amp and CONNECT:AMP, are capable of powering high-quality hi-fi speakers independently, elevating your audio experience beyond that of a single wireless speaker. For the ultimate Sonos experience, consider the CONNECT wireless music streamer, which connects to a dedicated full-size audio system. This setup delivers a comprehensive hi-fi experience while offering the convenience of wireless functionality and intuitive app control.

Sonos is a remarkable multi-room music system that can fill every area of your home with music. Whether it’s the living room, kitchen, bedroom, office, children’s room, or bathroom, there is a Sonos music player or wireless speaker to meet your needs. Setting up Sonos is straightforward, and since it requires no in-wall installation, you can easily relocate the entire system if you move.

To begin, all you need is a “controller” (phone, tablet, or PC) and a single Sonos music player or wireless speaker. If you wish to enjoy wireless music in another room, simply connect an additional Sonos player or wireless speaker, press two buttons, and wait a moment for it to be ready for use.

If you opt to use Sonos’ dedicated and robust wireless network (SonosNet) instead of your own, one music player (or a BOOST network adapter) must be connected to the router via cable. SonosNet offers significantly improved coverage, as the individual Sonos components work together in a mesh network to extend the signal throughout your home.

TRUEPLAY

Trueplay is an intelligent feature that utilizes your iPhone or iPad along with a series of test tones to enhance the audio output from various Sonos speakers. This optimization occurs whether the speakers are used individually, paired with a SUB subwoofer, configured in a “Sonos home cinema,” or integrated with Sonos’ built-in speakers. Simply position the speakers as desired and follow the guidance provided in the app.

After conducting a few measurements using the test tone, Sonos can automatically fine-tune the sound balance, ensuring you experience optimal audio quality across a wide listening area without the need for manual adjustments to the tone controls.

If you are considering a sound system throughout your home during a new construction or renovation, Sonos offers numerous possibilities. For instance, you can install built-in speakers in any room, run speaker cables through the walls to a central technical cabinet or office where your network router is located. Here, you can house all necessary Sonos devices and power amplifiers, allowing for seamless audio throughout the home, complete with remote control and tailored quality in each room.

For those planning to build a new home or undertake renovations with the goal of creating a sophisticated, discreet multi-room audio system featuring speakers elegantly concealed in walls and ceilings, the logical first step is to explore Sonos’ built-in speakers in conjunction with an amplifier.

There are distinct benefits to utilizing Sonos speakers for installation in walls, ceilings, or even outdoor spaces such as patios. Additionally, a system based on Sonos Amp can be easily integrated with a wide selection of built-in speaker models from brands like DALI and B&W.
