Trueplay tuning will balance the sound for wherever you place Era 300, but for the speaker to
project sound most effectively, here are a few guidelines:
Bluetooth pairing
1. Turn Bluetooth on in your device settings.
2. Press and hold the Bluetooth button on the back on the speaker until you hear a tone,
then release. The status light blinks blue when the speaker is ready to pair.
3. Choose Sonos Era 300 from the list of available devices in your Bluetooth settings. Your
mobile device will automatically connect next time.
Era 300 should be placed indoors and have approximately two ft (.61 m) of overhead
clearance for optimal sound quality. Placement in an enclosed space like a bookshelf is
not recommended as this could impact dispersion and playback clarity.
If you are mounting Era 300 within 2 ft (.61 m) of a ceiling, place it upside down for the
best sound.
When Era 300 is placed next to a wall or on a shelf, leave at least 1" (2.5 cm) clearance in
back and 8” (20.32 cm) on each side of the speaker.
When using Era 300 speakers as surrounds, leave at least 8" (20.32 cm) clearance
around the sides of each speaker.
Traditional stereo setups often have an ideal place to sit in a room for the best listening
experience, but with Era 300 the sound is sent in all directions so you'll experience rich
detail no matter where you’re seated.
Note: Don’t position Era 300 vertically or at a steep angle or the audio will stop.
