Sonos - Move 2

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Move 2 and Move? 
Move 2 features a new acoustic architecture with an additional tweeter for stereo sound, a more powerful battery for 22 hours of playback time (twice that of Move), new colours, updated touch controls, the option to connect a turntable or other audio source with the Sonos Line-In Adapter, an upgraded Wireless Charging Base with a detachable and more compact adapter, the coexistence of WiFi and Bluetooth so you can play Bluetooth audio to the rest of your Sonos system, and more. 

Does Move 2 support stereo pairing? 
While connected to your home WiFi network, you can use the Sonos app to pair two speakers for even wider and more detailed sound. Please note that portable speakers cannot be used for surround sound in a Sonos home cinema system. 

Can I stereo pair Move 2 and Move? 
To stereo pair, both speakers must have the same acoustic architecture and sound profile. Because Move 2 features an additional tweeter, it will not stereo pair with Move. You can group both speakers to play in sync for multi-room listening or to fill a larger space. 

Will the Move 2 Wireless Charging Base work with the Move Wireless Charging Base? 
Yes. Both bases can be used to charge either product. Please note the colours for the Move 2 Wireless Charging Base (Black, White, and Olive) differ from the Move Wireless Charging Base (Lunar White and Shadow Black).  

Can I use the Move 2 replacement battery with Move? 
Yes. The replacement battery for Move 2 will work with Move for improved playback time.

Will Move 2 pair with a subwoofer?
Move 2 will not pair with a Sonos subwoofer. Because the speaker is designed to move around your home, pairing with a subwoofer would result in imbalanced sound, with mid and high frequencies in one room and bass in another or breaking the bonding whenever you put Move 2 in a new location. 

Can I experience spatial audio or Dolby Atmos with Move 2?
The acoustic architecture of Move 2 does not support playback of spatial audio content. To experience Dolby Atmos, consider Era 300 or Arc, which feature upward-firing drivers for height channels, or Beam (Gen 2), which supports a virtualised Dolby Atmos experience. 

Can I use Bluetooth as soon as I unbox Move 2?
Move 2 must first be set up on WiFi using the Sonos app. Following setup, you can easily pair a Bluetooth device by pressing the button on the back of the speaker. 

What's the difference between Bluetooth and WiFi?
A WiFi connection provides the best listening experience, allowing you to stream lossless audio from anywhere in your home. Bluetooth allows you to quickly connect a phone, tablet, or laptop to your speaker and stream directly from the paired device within a limited range.

Can I group speakers while using Bluetooth?
Yes. If you are playing content from a Bluetooth source, you can group Move 2 with other products in your Sonos system.

Can I connect my turntable or other audio source to Move 2?  
Yes, you can connect any audio source with 3.5 mm line output, such as a turntable, computer, or CD player with the Sonos Line-In Adapter. You will also need a 3.5 mm auxiliary cable (not included). 

Can I use a third-party adapter for line-in?
No. Most, if not all, of the USB-C to 3.5 mm adapters on the market today are intended for line-out (headphones) and do not support line-in. Use the Sonos Line-In Adapter for a reliable connection.

Can I connect Move 2 to my TV?
Bluetooth and line-in connections are not intended for use with a TV and will result in latency and/or lip sync issues. To enhance your home cinema experience, you’ll want a Sonos soundbar, which you can also use to stream music and group with Move 2. 

What can I do with the USB-C port?
The USB-C port is designed for line-in and Ethernet connections using the Sonos Line-In Adapter or Combo Adapter. You can also use it to charge small devices, such as your smartphone. 

How can I use Sonos Voice Control on Bluetooth? 
You can use Sonos Voice Control and Amazon Alexa in supported countries and languages. Both services must be added in the Sonos app. 

Can I use the Sonos S1 Controller with Move 2?
Move 2 requires the latest generation of the Sonos app (Sonos S2). Please refer to https://support.sonos.com/arti... for more information.
