Creating a Stereo Pair
The Stereo Pair setting allows you to group two PLAY:3s or two PLAY:5s in the same room to create a wider stereo experience.
In this configuration, one unit serves as the left channel and the other serves as the right channel. You cannot combine a
PLAY:3 and PLAY:5 unit—the Sonos components in the stereo pair must be the same.
Optimum Placement Information
• When creating a stereo pair, it is best to place the two Sonos components 8 to 10 feet away from each other, angled
inward to form a triangle with your favorite listening position.
• Your favorite listening position should be 8 to 12 feet from the PLAY:3 or PLAY:5 units. Less distance will increase bass,
more distance will improve stereo imaging.
Note:
The Stereo Pair setting is for use with PLAY:3 and PLAY:5 units only. Both Sonos
components in the stereo pair must be the same
