Create a stereo pair
Sonos speakers of the same model can be bonded together as a single room in the Sonos app, providing a wider stereo experience. This article will show you how to create a stereo pair with your speakers.
Before you start
- Only Sonos speakers of the same model can be stereo paired.
- When you first set up two Sonos speakers of the same model, you’ll see an option to create a stereo pair. Otherwise, you can follow the steps below to pair two products that have been already added to your system.
- When placing your speakers for a stereo pair, we recommend spacing them 8 to 10 feet apart. Your favorite listening position should be 8 to 12 feet from the paired speakers—less distance increases bass, more distance improves stereo imaging.
Sonos app for iOS or Android
- Go to the Settings menu.
- Under My System, select one of the speakers you’d like to use in your stereo pair.
- Select Set Up Stereo Pair and follow the in-app instructions.
Sonos S1 Controller app for iOS or Android
- From the Settings tab, select System.
- Under Products, select one of the speakers you’d like to use in your stereo pair.
- Select Create Stereo Pair and follow the in-app instructions.
For steps to unpair your speakers, see our article on separating a stereo pair.
