Sonos sub 3 multi “room”

[miniman]

Just had a Sub 3 delivered. Quite disappointed that whilst I get that it can’t be in two actual rooms at once, in my setup I have one “room” which is a Beam, and another “room” that is a stereo pair of Play1s, both in the same physical room. Play1s are NOT used as surrounds for the Beam.

Sub can be connected to either “room” but not both. I can obviously swap it between them as I don’t use the TV at the same time as listening to music, but seems a fairly odd omission.

Surely if you group them then the sub is active?

[miniman]

Yeah but I don’t want to group them. I want Beam + Sub OR Stereo pair + Sub - as opposed to Beam grouped with pair and sub.

Would it be easier to group them all, then mute the speakers you don't want to hear?

Interesting, I will give that a go!

In the same physical room? Why not stick them all together? TV and music will both sound better.

They’re not aligned to work like that.
