A:AnswerThe Sonos One SL does not have Alexa pairing capabilities because there is no microphone on the speaker. The Sonos One has an onboard microphone and is Alexa enabled.
A:AnswerYou can place these speakers anywhere to the left and right back of the room to provide the rear channel sound. Utilizing Trueplay will allow the Sonos system to tune the timing and sound profile to where they are placed relative to your sitting position.
A:AnswerIn short, yes.
Long version. When you use them with the beam, they will be part of a grouping with the beam. You will need to break up the grouping, then create a new group/room for them when you move them. You will have to reassociate them with the beam when you put them back as surrounds. Not very convenient.
A:AnswerNo, the Sonos ecosystem is proprietary. When pairing 2 Play:1’s to an existing system there must be a companion piece in the room such as a Beam or a PlayBar.
A:AnswerI had two moves that I would take back and forth between inside/outside this is painful. I'm looking to get the outdoor speakers installed around my deck.
A:AnswerHi, and thank you for your question. The difference is the Shadow Black color. It's slightly different than our standard black color. The Shadow black has a very subtle grey hough to it.
