Creating a Stereo Pair
The Stereo Pair setting allows you to group two PLAY:1s, PLAY:3s or PLAY:5s in the same room to create a wider stereo
experience. In this configuration, one component serves as the left channel and the other serves as the right channel. You
cannot create a mixed stereo pair—the Sonos components in the stereo pair must be the same.
Optimum placement information
• When creating a stereo pair, it is best to place the two Sonos components 8 to 10 feet away from each other.
• Your favorite listening position should be 8 to 12 feet from the units. Less distance increases bass, more distance
improves stereo imaging.
1. From the Settings menu, touch Room Settings.
Note: The Stereo Pair setting is for use with PLAY:1s, PLAY:3s and PLAY:5s only. You cannot
create a mixed stereo pair—both Sonos components in the stereo pair must be the same.
