Audio Customization
The Sonos app allows for extensive customization of your audio experience. You can adjust bass levels (more or less) to suit your preferences for music or movies. The Sub 4 is designed to handle low frequencies, allowing your other Sonos speakers to focus on mid and high frequencies, resulting in a richer, more detailed sound profile.
Placement Options
The versatile design of the Sub 4 allows it to be placed upright or laid flat. This flexibility enables discreet placement, such as under a sofa, to enhance the tactile experience of bass rumbles without being visually prominent.
