Sonos One User manual

Sonos One
Sonos One has Amazon Alexa built right in so you can use your
voice to start and control the music on Sonos—
Perfect fit for shelves, counters, and snug spaces or
mounted to a wall, ceiling or speaker stand.
Touch controls let you adjust volume, play and pause,
or skip through songs.
Pair two Sonos Ones for left-right stereo sound, or use
two Sonos Ones as rear surrounds for your home
theater.
See Getting started when you’re ready to add a Sonos
One to your system.
Note: Over time we’ll add more voice services and skills. Voice
control is not supported in every country yet—this feature
will be available as soon as Sonos and a voice service
launch together in your region.

void your warranty).

bottom of the speaker.
Select a location
You can put your speaker just about anywhere. Here’s a few
guidelines:
Sonos One sounds great even when placed next to a
wall or on a shelf. For best performance, leave at
least 1" (2.5 cm) space around the back of the
speaker.
It’s humidity-resistant so you can use it in the bathroom.
It’s not water-resistant so don’t put it near water or
leave it in the rain.
Speaker mounts and stands
For wall mount kits or stands, tailored to perfectly fit your Sonos
products, see Accessories on our website.
Microphone on/off
Touch to turn the microphone on and off. (If you don’t have
a voice service installed, the microphone is inactive.)

When the microphone light is on, voice control is on and Alexa is
ready to respond. When the microphone light is off, voice control
is off.
If you’ve installed a voice service and the microphone is off, you
can still use voice commands. Just press and hold while
talking to Alexa—no need to start with a wake word. When you
release the mic button, voice control turns off again.
