Select a location

You can use your Sonos Roam just about anywhere. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

You can place the speaker next to a wall or on a shelf—for best performance, leave at least 1" (2.5 cm) space around the back of the speaker.
The speaker’s durable design includes silicone end caps to protect from drops or bumps.
Avoid placing the speaker in direct sunlight.
You can place it horizontally or vertically. When vertical, the speaker takes up barely any room. Position it horizontally for added stability on uneven surfaces.
When the microphone is on, the speaker tunes itself with automatic TrueplayTM for amazing sound no matter where you are and what you’re listening to.

Bluetooth pairing

Make sure Bluetooth in on in your device's settings.

Press and hold until you hear the second tone and the status light blinks blue, then select Roam from your device’s Bluetooth pairing list. Your mobile device will automatically connect next time.

To pair with a different device, wait until Roam connects to the current device, then press and hold again to restart the pairing process.

Charging

Sonos Wireless Charger (sold separately)	Place the speaker on the smooth, magnetized side of the charger for easy recharging—no extra wires or cables needed.
Qi charger	Place the speaker on a compatible Qi-certified wireless charger.

Voice services

Use your voice to control your Sonos system with any voice-enabled Sonos product—play and control content, turn the volume up or down, and more.

Sonos Voice Control: control your whole Sonos system with hands-free ease and unmatched privacy. Sonos Voice Control comes ready to use—it only takes a few seconds to add when you set up your speakers. More information
Amazon Alexa: you’ll need the Sonos app and the Alexa app with the Sonos skill enabled. You’ll make some changes in both apps during setup. Learn more
Google Assistant: you’ll need the Sonos app and the Google Assistant app. You’ll make some changes in both apps during setup. Learn more
Siri: you’ll need the Apple Home app. Add your AirPlay2-compatible Sonos speakers to the Apple Home app and then use an iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV to ask Siri to play music (currently limited to Apple Music). Learn more

Note: Voice control isn’t supported in every country yet—this feature will be available as soon as Sonos and a voice service launch together in your region.

Trueplay™

Every room is different. Trueplay tuning measures how sound reflects off walls, furnishings, and other surfaces in a room, then fine tunes your Sonos speaker to make sure it sounds great no matter where you've placed it.

Trueplay works on iOS mobile devices running iOS 8 or later. During tuning, you'll move around the room holding your mobile device.

Select Settings .
Choose the product you want to tune.
Select Trueplay to get started.

Auto Trueplay

Portable Sonos products like Sonos Roam and Move can tune themselves automatically. Auto Trueplay uses your speaker’s microphone to detect the environment and make periodic tuning adjustments so you get great sound wherever your speaker is and whatever you're listening to.

Select Settings .
Choose the product you want to tune.
Select Trueplay, and turn on Auto Trueplay.

Set up stereo pair

Pair two Sonos speakers in the same room for an even wider, stereo experience. One speaker serves as the left channel and one serves as the right channel.

Note: The Sonos speakers in a stereo pair must be the same type.

Place the speakers 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.
Open the Sonos app, and go to Settings .
Choose one of the products you want to use in the stereo pair.
Select Set Up Stereo Pair to get started.

Product settings

You can customize Sonos products for your surroundings.

Go to Settings .
Select a product.

Room Name	If you move your speaker to a new room, you can change its name in Settings.
Turn off WiFi (not available for Sonos Era 100, Era 300, or portable products)	You can turn off your speaker’s WiFi when it’s connected to your network with an Ethernet cable. This reduces power consumption and can improve connectivity for wired speakers. For products like Amp and Port, turning off WiFi can reduce the internal temperature when they’re placed in a rack or stacked. Learn more Note: WiFi is turned off for Era 100 and Era 300 when you connect a Sonos Combo Adapter using the Ethernet cable.
EQ	Sonos products ship with preset equalization settings. You can change the sound settings (bass, treble, or loudness) to suit your personal preferences. Learn more
Trueplay	Trueplay adapts the sound for your surroundings and content. Portable products can tune themselves automatically. Learn more
Volume Limit	You can set a maximum volume for each room. Learn more
Status Light	Displays the speaker’s connection to WiFi, indicates when the volume is muted, and signals errors. Learn more Note: If the light is distracting, you can turn it off in Settings.
Touch Controls	You can disable the touch control on your speaker. You may want to do this to prevent a child or curious pet from accidentally adjusting playback or volume. Learn more
Battery Saver (portable products only)	To save battery life, you can set your portable speaker to power off automatically instead of going to sleep. It won't appear in the Sonos app until it’s powered back on.
Line-In (Sonos products with line-in capability)	When a projector, turntable, stereo, or other audio device is connected to a Sonos product, you can adjust these line-in settings: Source name: Choose a name for the line-in device. Source level: Adjust the line-in source level if you find the default volume setting is too quiet or distorted. Audio Delay: Add a delay between the line-in source and Sonos to reduce the chance of audio issues occurring when you're playing line-in audio on grouped speakers. Autoplay: Choose a room if you want line-in audio to start playing automatically when Sonos detects a signal on the line-in port.

Drying the speaker

Both Roam and Roam SL speakers have an IP67 rating—they're dustproof and water resistant and can be submerged in water up to 3 ft (1 meter) for several minutes.

If your speaker is submerged in any liquid other than tap or rain water (e.g. pool, ocean, beer) flush the speaker with tap water, then give it a quick shake.
Position the speaker vertically until it drains, then place it face down (logo side down) on a dry towel for a few minutes.
Start some music to help drive moisture out of the acoustic drivers.
Let the speaker air-dry to remove any excess water. Make sure Roam is fully dried off in between uses. Don't use a hair dryer or other forced hot air to dry your Roam.

Important: Don’t play audio when the speaker is immersed in water.
