Many of our clients find themselves grouping the same rooms together when enjoying their favorite music. It might be the Kitchen and Great Room, or the Patio and Pool. If you’re creating the same groups over and over, Sonos makes it easy by allowing you to create a permanent group that you can start with a single tap. Here’s how to create a permanent group: Open the Sonos app and go to Settings Scroll down and select Groups Tap Create Group Name your group Select the rooms y

Yes—Sonos has announced a new multi-room amplifier that is expected to be available in the fall of 2026. This amplifier will be sold through authorized dealers. The new multi-room amp features 8 assignable channels and is designed to be rack-mountable. “Assignable” is the key feature, it allows you to dedicate multiple channels to a single zone when needed. For example, if your outdoor area has 8 speakers, you can assign 4 channels to properly power that one zone. From an ins

Former Bose system owners often ask if they can connect external devices to a Sonos system. The short answer is yes but it works differently than a traditional Bose Lifestyle system. Unlike Bose, Sonos does not use a central console or receiver. Instead, each Sonos component connects independently, and how you add devices depends on the type of source. For video devices such as a Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, cable/satellite box, or DVD player, these connect directly to your TV. T

One of the most common questions we hear from clients considering a new sound system is: “Will this help me hear my TV better?” The answer is sometimes, but it depends on the system. Many people assume the solution is simply turning up the volume, but volume doesn’t always improve clarity . In many cases, difficulty hearing TV dialogue is related to how certain sound frequencies are heard. When background music, sound effects, and dialogue all play together, the voices can g

However, when we’re upgrading an existing system especially from older Bose systems, the amplifier location is often determined by where the current equipment is installed. Keeping the new Sonos amplifier in the same location allows us to reuse the existing speaker wiring, which simplifies installation and helps control costs. In many homes, older amplifiers are located in a ba

We’re often asked a version of this question, especially in homes with multiple Sonos zones: “If one person is listening to their favorite Pandora station in one room, can someone else listen to a different Pandora station in another room at the same time?” The short answer is no—not with a single account. Why This Happens Sonos (like most whole-home audio systems) treats each music service account as a single source. That means if you’re logged into Pandora with one acco

This week’s question came from a client who said, “I love my Sonos system, but how do I make my own playlist in the Sonos app?” It’s a great question—because the Sonos app works a little differently than traditional music apps. Sonos doesn’t create playlists inside the app the way Spotify or Apple Music does. Instead, you can create what Sonos calls a Sonos Playlist, or you can play playlists that already exist in your streaming services. Here are the ways to build your own p
