How to connect to Sonos speaker?
Before we learn how to connect to a Sonos speaker, it is important to note that Sonos speakers aren’t Bluetooth speakers. Since these speakers are designed to connect with multiple music sources, they are connected directly to your home network using an ethernet cable or Wi-Fi.
So first, connect your Sonos speaker to your home Wi-Fi or internet router and then follow these steps:
Step
Download and install the Sonos app on your PC, MacBook, TV, or smartphone.
Step
Plug in the Sonos device
Switch on your Sonos speaker by plugging in the power cord.
Step
Set up a new system on the Sonos app
Launch the Sonos app on your device and choose “Set up a new system”. If you are connecting to an older Sonos speaker that is already set up, select “Join Nearby System”.
Step
Follow the on-screen instructions
If you are setting up your speaker for the first time, follow the on-screen instructions in the Sonos app on your device to add the speaker to your home network.
Step
Add music sources
Now tap on the music icon at the bottom of the Sonos app to add multiple music streaming accounts and sources like Pandora, Spotify, Amazon Music, etc.
Step
Start listening!
After adding the music sources, click on the music icon once again to select a music file to play. Next, select which speaker(s) you want to use as the audio output device. Finally, press the “Play” icon in the Sonos app.
There ya go, folks. Now you ‘re all set to take full advantage of the fantastic audio ecosystem offered by Sonos that we mentioned earlier.
Additionally, we recommend getting a hold of more Sonos stuff too, as it all connects together to expand the potential aural tour-de-force that you can get with Sonos.
