Select A Location - Sonos PLAY:5 BLACK Product Manual

Select a location

You can put your speaker just about anywhere. For maximum performance, we have a few guidelines:
• The PLAY:5 is a substantial and powerful speaker and should be placed on a flat surface that is robust
and durable enough to properly support it. Make sure the PLAY:5's rubber feet sit completely on the flat
surface.
• Allow at least 2" perimeter all around the PLAY:5 including its power cord.
• For a single PLAY:5 speaker Sonos recommends positioning the speaker horizontally, enabling stereo
sound over a wide sound stage. (A single PLAY:5 speaker positioned in vertical mode is a mono
speaker—there is no stereo separation.)
• Place the PLAY:5 across the room from where you will be listening (at or close to your ear height for best
results).
• For stereo pair placement information, see Stereo pairs.
Caution: The PLAY:5 is humidity resistant so you can use it in the bathroom; however it is not water resistant
so don't position it near water or leave it outside during a rain storm.
