Set up your Sonos Sub Mini

  • Mobile device required
  • Sonos S2 required

This article will guide you through setting up your Sonos Sub Mini. You can find more information on product features and specs on Sub Mini's product page.

Before you start 

  • Place your Sub Mini in your desired location and connect it to power. Make sure at least one side of the slot is free from obstruction. If you place it vertically against a wall, don’t block the front opening.
  • Sub Mini cannot be added to unamplified or portable Sonos products. See all Sonos products that support Sub Mini.
  • If you are setting up a Sonos home theater speaker and Sub Mini at the same time, set up the home theater speaker first. The app will guide you through adding your Sub Mini during the setup process.
  • If you're adding a Sub Mini to a Sonos speaker that is already set up, follow the steps below.
