SONOS USER GUIDE
Sonos One
Sonos One has Amazon Alexa built right in so you can use your voice to start and control the
music on Sonos—
Perfect fit for shelves, counters, and snug spaces or mounted to a wall, ceiling or speaker
stand.
Touch controls let you adjust volume, play and pause, or skip through songs.
Pair two Sonos Ones for left-right stereo sound, or use two Sonos Ones as rear surrounds
for your home theater.
Note:Over time we’ll add more voice services and skills. Voice control is not supported in every country
yet—this feature will be available as soon as Sonos and a voice service launch together in your region.

AC power (mains)
input
Use only the supplied power cord (using a third-
party power cord will void your warranty).
Note:Insert the power cord firmly until it is flush
with the bottom of the speaker.
Select a location
You can put your speaker just about anywhere. Here’s a few guidelines:
Sonos One sounds great even when placed 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.
It’s humidity-resistant so you can use it in the bathroom.
It’s not water-resistant so don’t put it near water or leave it in the rain.
Microphone on/off
Touch
to turn the microphone on and off. (If you don’t have a voice service installed, the
microphone is inactive.)
When the microphone light is on, voice control is on and Alexa is ready to respond. When the
microphone light is off, voice control is off.
If you’ve installed a voice service and the microphone is off, you can still use voice commands.
Just press and hold
while talking to Alexa—no need to start with a wake word. When you
release the mic button, voice control turns off again.
