USB-C port

The USB-C port is designed for line-in and Ethernet connections using the Sonos Line-In Adapter or Combo Adapter (sold separately). It's not a power source for the speaker and shouldn't be used to charge other devices.

  • Ethernet: Use the Sonos Combo Adapter and an Ethernet cable to connect Era 300 directly to your router if you want to hardwire your speaker (helpful if your WiFi is unstable).
  • Line-in: Use either the Sonos Line-In Adapter or Combo Adapter to connect your turntable, CD player, projector, or other device.

Select a location

You can put your speaker just about anywhere. For the best performance, here's a few guidelines:

  • Sonos Era 300 is made to give you powerful sound anywhere—Trueplay tuning balances the sound for wherever it's placed, and whatever you're listening to.
  • When Era 300 is placed next to a wall or on a shelf, leave at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space around the back of the speaker for best performance.
  • If you’re mounting Era 300 within 2 ft (.61 m) of a ceiling, place it upside down for the best sound.
  • When using Era 300 speakers as surrounds, leave at least 8" (203 mm) clearance around each speaker.

Note: Don’t position Era 300 vertically or at an angle or the audio will stop.

Bluetooth pairing

  1. Turn Bluetooth on in your device settings.
  2. Press and hold the Bluetooth button on the back on the speaker until you hear a tone, then release. The status light blinks blue when the speaker is ready to pair.
  3. Choose Sonos Era 300 from the list of available devices in your Bluetooth settings. Your mobile device will automatically connect next time.

Microphone on/off

There are two ways to control the microphones on Era 300:

A universal microphone switch on the back turns all microphones on and off.

A voice services button on top turns voice services on and off without affecting the microphones needed for Trueplay and other microphone-enabled features.

  • When both are on, voice control and all microphone-enabled features are available.
  • When both are off, voice control and all microphone-enabled features are unavailable.
  • When the universal microphone switch is on and the voice services light is off, Trueplay and other microphone-enabled features are available but voice control is off.

Trueplay™

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 place it.

During setup, choose the Trueplay option that works best for you and your space. To retune later, go to > System, choose a room, and select Trueplay.

Advanced tuning

Advanced tuning is custom and precise. It takes about 5 minutes and uses the microphone on an iOS device (running iOS 8 or later) so you'll move around the room while the sound is fine tuned for your space.

Note: Advanced tuning is the best choice for large rooms (open concept spaces may experience less precise tuning).

Quick tuning

Quick tuning is fast, effortless, and accessible. It takes about a minute and uses the microphone on your Sonos product to detect the environment so there's no need to move around the room during tuning.

Note: Quick tuning is available for both iOS and Android, and is a good choice for smaller rooms, or spaces where it's difficult to move easily.

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.

Go to > System, and select your portable speaker to turn on auto Trueplay.

Set up stereo pair

Par to Sonos-høyttalere i samme rom for å oppnå en fyldigere stereoopplevelse. Én høyttaler fungerer som den venstre kanalen, og den andre som den høyre kanalen.

Merk: Sonos-høyttalerne i stereoparet må være av samme type.

  1. Plasser høyttalerne 2,5–3 meter unna hverandre. Lytteposisjonen bør være 2,5 til 3,5 meter unna de to høyttalerne. Hvis du er nærmere, hører du mer bass, og hvis du er lenger unna, får du bedre stereolyd.
  2. Gå til > System..
  3. Velg en av høyttalerne du vil bruke i stereoparet, og velg deretter Konfigurer et stereopar for å komme i gang. Finn ut mer

Set up surrounds

Det er enkelt å forvandle to Sonos-høyttalere (samme modell) eller en Sonos Amp og favoritthøyttalerne dine av et annet merke til henholdsvis høyre og venstre kanal i et hjemmekinoanlegg.

  1. Plasser hver surroundhøyttaler omtrent 3 m fra favorittlytteposisjonen din, og vend dem mot sitteområdet.
  2. Gå til > System.
  3. Velg et rom med en lydplanke og velg Legg til surroundhøyttalere for å komme i gang.

Merk: Hvis du i stedet oppretter en romgruppe eller et stereopar, får du ikke surroundlyd.

Innstillinger for surroundlyd

Under konfigurering blir surroundlyden optimalisert for rommet. Disse innstillingene kan justeres:

Surroundhøyttalere

Slå surroundlyd av eller .

TV-nivå

Juster surroundvolumet for TV-lyd.

Musikknivå

Juster surroundvolumet for musikk.

Musikkavspilling

Omgivelser (myk) eller Full (sterkere lyd, hele registeret). Gjelder ikke for Dolby Atmos-musikkavspilling.

Line-in

Finn ut mer

Product settings

Du kan tilpasse Sonos-produktene til omgivelsene. Gå til > System, og velg et produkt.

Romnavn

Hvis du flytter en høyttaler til et nytt rom, kan du endre navnet i Innstillinger.

Skru av Wi-Fi

(ikke på bærbare produkter)

Du kan slå av høyttalerens Wi-Fi når den er tilkoblet nettverket med en Ethernet-kabel. Dette reduserer strømforbruket og kan gi bedre tilkoblingsmuligheter for noen kablede høyttalere.
Når du slår av Wi-Fi på produkter som Amp og Port, kan det gi lavere innvendig temperatur når produktene står i et stativ eller er stablet. Finn ut mer

EQ

Sonos-produktene leveres med forhåndsinnstilte utjevningsinnstillinger. Du kan endre lydinnstillingene (bass, diskant, balanse eller loudness (lydstyrke)) for å passe med de personlige preferansene dine. Finn ut mer

Trueplay

Trueplay tilpasser lyden etter omgivelsene og innholdet. Bærbare produkter kan justere seg selv automatisk. Finn ut mer

Volumgrense

Du kan angi et maksimalt volum for hvert rom. Finn ut mer

Statuslys

Viser høyttalerens tilkobling til Wi-Fi, angir når volumet er satt på lydløs og signaliserer feil. Finn ut mer

Merk: Hvis lyset er forstyrrende, kan du slå det av i Innstillinger.

Berøringskontroller

Du kan deaktivere berøringskontrollene på høyttaleren. Det kan være lurt å gjøre dette for å hindre at barn eller et nysgjerrig kjæledyr ved et uhell skifter musikken eller justerer volumet. Finn ut mer

Batterisparing

(bærbare produkter)

For å spare batteritid, kan du stille den bærbare høyttaleren til å slås av automatisk i stedet for å gå i dvale. Den vil ikke vises i Sonos-appen før den slås på igjen.

Line-in

(produkter med line-in-funksjon)

Koble til en lydenhet, som en platespiller eller et stereoanlegg, til en Amp, Port eller Five. Gå til Bla gjennom > Line-In og velg kilden for å begynne avspilling.
Du kan justere innstillinger for line-in, som kildenavn, lydnivå og autoplay.
