Overview Sonos Sub takes your audio experience to the next level— Instantly adds a dimension of deep bass impact to your audio listening experience. Allows placement anywhere because it’s wireless and compact—position it vertically or horizontally on any floor surface. The top of the acoustic slot doubles as a handle so you can lift it. Sub (Gen. 3) is compatible with the Sonos S2 app (for Android and iOS). Earlier Sub models are compatible with either S1 or S2.

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.
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.
Toggle On or Off to turn the sound from Sub Sub on and off. Use the slider to increase or decrease volume.
