What are Sonos speakers?
Sonos speakers are top-quality wireless speakers ideal for an at-home sound system. The great thing about Sonos is you can install these speakers throughout your home, and then control each speaker (or room full of speakers) wireless through an app on your smartphone. This means you can play different music in different rooms in your home – all at the same time. Sonos also offers incredible speaker systems for TV audio, giving you the ultimate home theatre experience.How Sonos speakers work

Setting up your Sonos speakers
Step 1: Find the perfect spot for your speakers
So, your speaker is out of the box. Now to decide where to put it. Here’s our advice: determine where you spend the most time in that room and place your speaker somewhere within a clear line of sight. Avoid sticking it behind doors and other obstacles that will likely affect your sound quality.Step 2: Download the Sonos app
Grab your smartphone or tablet – whether that’s an iOS or Android device – and download the free Sonos app. You’ll need this to control your speakers.Step 3: Configure your speakers via the app
Open the app. Choose Set up new system. Select the Standard option. Now, Sonos will walk you through the setup process. Repeat this procedure for every individual speaker you have purchased.Step 4: Tune your speakers
To ensure you get the best possible sound out of your new speakers, we recommend tuning them. Within the Sonos app, head to the Trueplay feature (only available on iOS devices, such as the iPhone). This adjusts the acoustic output according to the room your speaker is in. On launching the Trueplay feature, your speaker will begin emitting a series of tones. While this happens, hold your device upside-down and walk around the room. The app records what it hears as you move around, and based on this recording, modifies how the speakers emit sound.Step 5: Add your streaming services
Sonos is compatible with all the popular music streaming services, including Apple Music and Spotify. Once connected (you may have to input your credentials), all that’s left to do is listen to music!How to add a new Sonos speaker to your system
