How to Merge Your Sonos System for Multi-Room Audio

BRING YOUR TVS, AUDIO, MUSIC, AND PODCASTS TO THE WHOLE HOUSE

Music is best when it’s shared—not siloed in one room or stuck in your earbuds. You’ll find that when music is playing across your home, whether it’s Marvin Gaye or Whitesnake, it will bring your household together and enhance your moods. 

Sonos makes it simple to bring high-quality audio to every area of your home. As a certified platinum Sonos dealer in Park City, UT, we’re experts in how Sonos products work and the possibilities we can create with them. 

For example, imagine pulling your TV audio into other rooms so you’re never out of earshot on game night, or connecting your portable outdoor speaker to the in-wall speakers inside. Read on to see how to create multi-room audio with a Sonos system.

How to Group Multiple Rooms with Sonos Speakers

Grouped Sonos speakers will share the same queue on the Sonos app and stay synced together until you decide to deselect a speaker. Here's how:

1. Open the Sonos app: Select the Room tab.
2. Tap “Group”: Choose the rooms you want music to play in, then press “Done.”
3. Use “Everywhere” mode: Tap “Everywhere” for sound to play out of every Sonos speaker in the house.

Now whether you’re grilling on the patio or pouring wine in the dining room, you won’t miss a single lyric of your favorite songs.  

Add a Room With the Sonos App

Adding a room to your Sonos system is straightforward and allows you to expand your listening experience to new areas of your home. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open the Sonos App: Launch the app on your smartphone or tablet.
2. Select ‘Settings’: Tap on the ‘Settings’ tab located at the top of the screen.
3. Choose ‘System’: In the Settings menu, select ‘System’ to view your current setup.
4. Add a New Product: Tap on ‘Add a Product’ and follow the on-screen guide to add a new Sonos speaker to your system.
5. Assign the Room: Once the new speaker is added, create a new room for it or assign it to a room.
6. Customize Settings: Customize the room’s settings and name it appropriately for easy identification.

Connect Your TV with Sonos for Whole Home Audio 

Sonos offers its own collection of home theater speakers—the Arc and Beam soundbars, the Sub Mini subwoofer (that doesn’t vibrate!), and a surround-sound bundle. Sonos’ home theater speakers can wirelessly connect to your TV, plus you can sync the TV’s audio to the rest of your home’s speakers. 

If your TV is Bluetooth compatible, you can connect your streaming service to the Sonos system as a Bluetooth device. Or you can use the Sonos app to remotely control TV and audio. To use the Sonos app, you’ll have to connect at least one speaker through a wire to your TV. But once the screen is in the network, you can wirelessly sync it to the whole home. 

Benefits of Multi-Room Audio with Sonos

Using Sonos for multi-room audio comes with several advantages that can elevate your home entertainment experience:

Improved Ambiance: Multi-room audio transforms the atmosphere of your home, allowing you to enjoy background music in every room, enhancing relaxation and entertainment.

Seamless Audio Experience: Sonos offers synchronized playback across all rooms, ensuring you never miss a beat as you move around your home.
