User Guide
Select a location
You can put your speaker just about anywhere. Here are a few guidelines:
Move sounds great even when placed next to a wall or on a shelf. For best performance, leave at least 1” (2.5 cm) space around the back of the speaker.
It’s ultra durable. With a tough outer shell and IP56 rating, Sonos Move is built to withstand falls, bumps,
moisture, dust, UV rays, and extreme temperatures. Just don’t leave it out in a soaking rain storm, and remember that the charging base that’s included is for indoor use only.
Don’t use or store your Sonos Move upside down.
Automatic Trueplay™
You can put Sonos Move just about anywhere. Auto Trueplay tuning optimises the sound for wherever you are and whatever you’re listening to. Your speaker’s microphone is used to detect the environment so auto Trueplay can make periodic tuning adjustments to deliver the best sound.
If you don’t want the microphone on all the time, be sure to turn it on whenever you move the speaker. Your Sonos Move starts retuning when you pick it up, and continues to adjust the sound for a few minutes after you place it in a new location.
