How do I turn off the microphone for voice control?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Era 300 involves downloading the Sonos app and following the on-screen prompts to connect the device to your 2.4GHz or 5GHz WiFi network. For optimal sound, place the speaker on a flat surface with at least 8 inches of clearance above it to allow the upward-firing drivers to perform correctly.
Regarding care, dust the exterior with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or solvents. Ensure the power cable is routed to prevent tripping and avoid placing the speaker in areas with excessive humidity or direct, high-intensity heat. Periodically check the Sonos app for firmware updates to ensure your device maintains compatibility with the latest streaming service requirements.
