FAQ
Common questions about planning a Sonos system and using Sonos Properly.
Does this replace professional installation advice?
No. Sonos Properly is a planning tool to help you explore options and prepare for a conversation with a retailer or installer.
How accurate are the recommendations?
Recommendations are based on common room sizes, layouts, and listening goals. They provide a solid starting point, but your home and preferences may vary.
How does the planner decide what to recommend?
The planner uses a scoring algorithm that weighs your rooms, listening priorities, and layout to match the right Sonos components. We call it a rules engine because it follows a transparent decision framework rather than a black box.
Can I plan a system for apartments and small spaces?
Yes. The planner works for small spaces as well as larger homes, with options that scale room by room.
Can I plan for outdoor audio?
Yes. You can include outdoor areas when you map rooms and zones so they are considered in the final plan.
