9 Sonos Beam tips, tricks and features
Essentially, Trueplay tunes the sound of the Beam to its position, your position, and the layout of your room in a similar way to the mic-driven set-up of a high-end home cinema amplifier — except here you use your phone. Unfortunately, it only works with an iPhone and iPad , so Android users will need to find a friend to come over and assist. But it really is worth it for improved sound quality. Clutter in front of the Beam?
Move it. An extra chair in there from your last dinner party? Take it out.

All of these things will have an impact on the tuning. How can you use it? Like any speaker, the Beam sounds different after it has been used for a while, as its parts - particularly the drivers - will have run in. It acts like an old-fashioned bass-boost function and, while that is more often the kind of thing that brings us out in hives, on the Beam it is more sophisticated and results in a weightier, fuller, more authoritative and downright engaging performance.

If you don't already have one of these spare in which case it's probably sensible to simply add another , buying two Symfonisk bookshelf speakers is probably the most sensible option. It's the most affordable at £99 and compact speaker Sonos has ever produced, so the one most suited to life as a satellite speaker. The Symfonisk lamp speaker , meanwhile, is a great option if you want to disguise your satellite speakers as lamps.
The Play:1 remains an excellent choice as a satellite speaker, too, as it sounds better than both of the Ikea Symfonisk speakers, but it's more expensive than the bookshelf speaker and has now been discontinued so is hard to find. Should you go down the Sonos surround sound route at all? We think so.

Adding surrounds to the Beam gives you a 5. The Sub is overkill in the context of the Beam, both in terms of price it costs £ more than the Beam and power. With the Beam, it makes even less sense. If your TV is wall-mounted, you probably want to mount the Beam too. The official Beam mount will set you back £59, but it is a rather neat, almost invisible solution. Flexson has a more advanced mount. Costing £90, it can be adjusted up or down particularly useful if your Beam is mounted above your TV.
There is also another full cantilever mount £ that can accommodate both the Beam and your TV. However, it also adds the option of creating a mix-and-match multi-room system containing Sonos speakers and those from other manufacturers.
