This time last year I wrote a blog about the Sonos surround system consisting of the Arc sound bar, and two One SL speakers. Sonos is a great surround sound solution for those who don’t necessarily want a mass of cables in their room and want to get as much bang for their buck. The great thing about this type of wireless set-up means you can swap out other Sonos gear to create your perfect system, so in this article I’ll be speaking about the Sonos Sub Mini and how it can benefit your current or future Sonos set-up…

Sonos Sub Mini

‘The compact subwoofer with big bass’

As it’s name would suggest, the Sub Mini is considerably smaller than the Sonos Sub Gen 3, but I can assure you that the difference in performance isn’t hugely noticeable, especially in smaller listening spaces.

To put it through its paces and test it in a real world application, I took the Sub Mini home to try in my humble abode. It’s safe to say that I was thoroughly impressed! Admittedly, I didn’t have a huge expectation, but I learned very quickly that a smaller unit does not always equate to dimmed performance. You can check out the video below to hear how punchy and tight that bassline is!

Like all other Sonos products, the Sub Mini is available in both White and Black, meaning it will fit in to all home styles.

Compact-ible!

Being smaller in stature assures excellent pairing with other smaller Sonos components. For example, in the video above the Sub Mini is paired with a One SL, and because of they’re matching abilities, one doesn’t over power the other. The same goes for the Sonos One, Beam and Ray (the latest soundbar from Sonos). Any of these can be paired (or grouped if you have both surrounds and sound bar) with the Sub Mini seamlessly via the Sonos app and create a beautiful set-up for a great surround system, without hugely denting your pocket!

Sonos Novice

If you’re new to surround sound, Sonos or subwoofers, this would be a great way to start building your system. Although this is considered by many to be ‘entry-level’, it definitely performs at a standard that would make you think it’s at least an intermediate product, which is exactly why you don’t have to break the bank this Christmas!

So whether you’re buying for yourself or for a loved one, rest assured you can feel confident that you’re buying a product that performs impeccably despite its smaller stature. And why not check out our other Sonos products so you can create your own perfect set-up?
