SONOS USER GUIDE
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 we recommend 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'll be listening (at or close to your ear height for best
results).
• For stereo pair placement information, see
• 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.
