To be able to control your Sonos products and get the best out of them, you will need the Sonos app – When Sonos released its first products back in 2005 All products were using the original S1 app, allowing you to add multiroom audio to your home and control it via your phone. As technology advanced and higher definition of music became available and other music services progressed, so did Sonos and in doing so changed their app from S1 app to a new improved S2 app.

Sonos S2 was a major Sonos system software update that was made available in August 2020 for the vast majority of Sonos speakers and devices. It added new features, such as support for Dolby Atmos (for the Sonos Arc soundbar), plus other higher resolution audio formats and room groups.

While some products are suitable for both S1 and S2 apps, all made after June 2020 will only work on S2.

Below is a handy guide to show you what products will work on what app.
