Sonos Airplay Setup New Speaker

What's new

We’re very excited to announce that you will now be able to control your music directly from the Soundtrack app. The app’s music-control features include play, pause, skip, volume control, playlist selection and music on-demand.

Moving forward, the Sonos app will no longer be used to control the music in-store.

* Important: do not connect the new Sonos Speaker until you complete the following two steps*

Update the S1 App

Before connecting your new speaker you must update the current Sonos S1 app that is currently installed on your iPad.

Go to ‘settings‘

Select ‘system’. Scroll to the bottom of the page where it says ‘system tools‘

Press ‘check for updates‘

If it asks to ‘update now‘ select ‘yes‘.

Download the Sonos S2 app and install

*if the S2 app is not already downloaded to your iPad, it will prompt you to do so.

If not, please download the S2 app and install.

Going forward, you will no longer be using the S1 app. You have now upgraded to the S2.

How to control the music from other iPads

Only one iPad can be designated as the main player but you can adjust the volume, change the playlist and skip/block a song from another iPad by installing the Soundtrack ‘remote’ app.

From the Catalog folder install the Soundtrack Remote App.
Ask your retail regional manager for your pairing code and enter it when prompted.
Follow these steps and use the same code to install on any additional iPads in the store.
