Initial situation
There are two rooms with two Sonos devices each.
•
Dining room: Sonos devices 1 and 2
•
Living room: Sonos devices 3 and 4
The Sonos devices could play different mus ic in a room if they are not configured correctly. This would gener-
ally be very unpleas ant for the lis tener.

Objective
Both Sonos devices in a room are s uppos ed to play the s ame mus ic. To ens ure this is the cas e, the two Sonos
devices in the room concerned need to be controlled together s imultaneous ly. The one Sonos device needs to
act as a left-hand audio channel and the other as the right-hand one. It s hould no longer be pos s ible to control
the Sonos devices within a room s eparately.
As stereo s ound is required, we decide on the s tereo pair configuration.
