Wireless Subwoofer: Sonos Sub (Gen 4)

The Sonos Sub (Gen 4) features an elegant sculptural shape that maintains the iconic aesthetic of its predecessor, with an updated matte finish in black or white. Its profile allows it to be placed upright, on its side, or even hidden under a sofa. Thanks to its compact and sleek design, it blends seamlessly into any interior.

Impressive Acoustic Power

Feel every pulse, rumble, and vibration with the two elliptical woofers measuring 12.7 x 20.3cm. Inward-facing, they create a force-canceling effect that virtually eliminates distortion, delivering powerful and precise bass without hum or unwanted vibrations. The subwoofer’s vent further enhances low-frequency response, extending down to 25 Hz.

Optimized Signal Processing

The Sub (Gen 4) features a more powerful processor and more memory than the previous generation. This allows it to communicate more effectively with other components of your Sonos home theater system and produce bass with incredible depth and dimension. Two perfectly calibrated Class D digital amplifiers deliver optimal power to the subwoofer’s unique acoustic architecture.

Wireless Plug-and-Play Setup

Like all Sonos products, the Sub (Gen 4) is a breeze to set up. It connects wirelessly to your existing Sonos system via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Simply press the pairing button to add it during installation. You can then adjust audio settings (bass level, treble, loudness) from the Sonos app. Trueplay technology analyzes your room’s acoustics for custom calibration.

Enhanced Home Theater Experience

Paired with a Sonos soundbar like the Arc or the Beam (Gen 2), the Sub (Gen 4) elevates the soundtrack of your movies and series. It adds depth and power to intense moments, enhancing the dynamics and impact of every action scene. You are literally enveloped by sound. Even at low volume, it delivers rich and detailed bass that enriches the experience without unbalancing the sound message.

An Ideal Complement for Music Listening

The Sub (Gen 4) also transforms your Sonos speakers into a formidable 2.1 stereo system. By handling the low frequencies, it allows the speakers to focus on midrange and treble. The sound spectrum gains clarity, transparency, and dynamics. Attacks are sharper, timbres more natural. The soundstage gains depth and clarity, with firm and defined bass that drives the music without dragging.

A Durable and Evolving Product

Sonos designed the Sub (Gen 4) to last, with robust materials and electronics that can receive software updates for many years. Dematerialization efforts and a standby power consumption reduced by nearly 50% compared to the Sub (Gen 3) make it a more eco-friendly product. Its 100% recyclable packaging is also 18% more compact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Sonos speakers can I pair with the Sub (Gen 4)?

Can I control the subwoofer volume separately?

Yes, the Sonos app allows you to adjust the Sub’s bass level independently from the overall volume. You can set it from -15 to +15 relative to the default level. This lets you tailor the amount of bass to your preferences and the type of content you’re listening to (music, movies, TV shows, video games…).

What is the difference between the Sub (Gen 4) and the Sub Mini?

The Sub Mini is a more compact and affordable version of the Sub. Despite its smaller size, it offers surprisingly close performance to its bigger sibling, with powerful and tight bass down to 25 Hz. The Sub (Gen 4) retains the advantage in terms of impact and maximum power, especially at high volumes. But the Sub Mini is an excellent alternative for smaller rooms or tighter budgets.

Do I need to place the subwoofer in a specific spot in my room?

The advantage of the Sub (Gen 4) is that it communicates wirelessly with other Sonos speakers. You can place it anywhere in the room, even hidden behind a couch or under furniture. Just avoid completely enclosing it to prevent muffling the sound. The Sonos app with Trueplay technology helps you find the ideal placement by analyzing your room’s acoustics.

Can I connect the Sub with a wired connection if I prefer?

Yes, the Sub (Gen 4) has an Ethernet port that allows you to connect it directly to your router or another compatible Sonos speaker. This can be useful if your Wi-Fi network isn’t optimal or if you prefer a wired connection to minimize interference. However, wireless connection remains the simplest and most convenient method in most cases.
