Sonos latest model speakers, including Sonos One (not to be confused with Play1)  have support for Apple Airplay 2, which allows any iOS device or Mac computer to stream to the speaker(s) over Wi-Fi. 

With Airplay 2, any Apple iOS device (11.4+) or Mac computer can be used to simultaneously stream CloudCover music to any Airplay 2 speakers, receivers or Apple TV's that are connected to the same wireless network.

Combining Airplay 2 capabilities with CloudCover zones can give you the capability of choosing one stream to play on all your Airplay 2 speakers or have multiple streams playing on different speakers.

If your Sonos speakers have an audio input port, plug the device with which you wish to stream directly into the port using the audio cable provided with the Sonos. There is a great article on the line-in option by a third party. See their article here. Or Sonos's own article here, Era 100 instructions here, and Era 300 instructions here. Basic line-in instructions are below in our article as well.

The following Sonos products have line-in inputs on the back:

Please note that Line-In is disabled on the Play:5 (gen2), Connect:Amp, and Amp when they are used as surround speakers with the Playbar, Playbase, or Beam.

For example, if you intend to stream music for business from your CloudBox, connect the CloudBox to the speakers using the audio cable provided with the speakers. If you choose to stream via our mobile app, launch the app and connect your mobile device to the Sonos speakers using the audio cable provided with the speakers.

If you would like to adjust your line-in settings, you can do this. Just check out the Sonos article here.

If your unit doesn't have a line-input, you can bridge the unit to another Sonos unit that does (e.g. PLAY:1 and PLAY:3).  

You can also add a Sonos CONNECT to your setup in order to stream Cloud Cover Music. Go to the Sonos website for videos and to learn more about this external HUB system.

From the Browse menu, select Line-In, select the source, and select Play Now.

​Using the Sonos Controller App for Mac or PC:
