Full details
The Sonos Sub (Gen4) is the ideal upgrade for home audio enthusiasts who own existing Sonos soundbars or speakers and want to achieve deep, immersive low-frequency performance. By integrating dual force-cancelling woofers, it delivers powerful bass without unwanted vibrations, effectively transforming your music, movies, and TV shows. While it offers premium audio quality, users should note that it requires a dedicated Sonos ecosystem setup and cannot be used as a standalone subwoofer with non-Sonos hardware.

FAQs
Can I use two Subs with one soundbar?

Do I need a special cable to connect it to my TV?
No, the Sub connects wirelessly to your Sonos soundbar, which in turn handles the connection to your TV via HDMI ARC or eARC.
Can I lay the Sub on its side?

Is the Sub compatible with non-Sonos speakers?

Does the Sub come with a power cable?
Yes, a standard power cable is included in the box.
How do I tune the Sub to my room?
Use the Trueplay tuning feature within the Sonos app, which uses your mobile device's microphone to measure how sound reflects off walls and furniture.
Troubleshooting
The Sub is not detected by the Sonos app.
Ensure the Sub is plugged in, the status light is flashing green, and your mobile device is on the same WiFi network.
The audio sounds muddy or distorted.
Check your room settings in the Sonos app to adjust the Sub level or re-run Trueplay tuning if your environment has changed.
Intermittent connection dropouts.
Move the Sub closer to your wireless router or ensure no large metal objects are obstructing the signal path.
