No one will ever accuse a subwoofer of being too shy. Designed to handle the lowest frequencies of audio in movies and music, these loudspeakers literally make their presence felt with every bass-filled rumble and roar. Even so, few subwoofers have ever packed a punch in such a style as of the latest upgrade to the Sonos home theater experience: Sub 4.
If you’re chasing a more cinematic sound experience that does real justice to the rumbles and roars sitting at the lowest end of the audio mix, our newest subwoofer is the fastest way to get there.
What’s new in Sub 4?
Let’s break down what’s new.
Increased memory and processing power
Sub 4 features a more powerful CPU than the previous generation. This allows it to communicate efficiently and effectively with the other components in your home theater system — and, ultimately, to deliver an incredible sense of depth and dimension across the lowest frequency sounds in an audio mix.
Sub 4 was built with not only power but also longevity in mind. Rest assured that it will be capable of receiving the latest software updates and features from Sonos for years to come.
An updated look
At first glance, the visual updates to Sub 4 may appear subtle. The biggest update is an all-new matte finish available in both black and white. This stands in contrast to the high-gloss finish of the previous generation, which was unique in the Sonos lineup but may have disrupted the aesthetic continuity of a full speaker setup. In any case, you’ll likely find Sub 4 to be a slightly more understated addition to your home theater system.

How does Sub 4 compare to Sub Gen 3?
As noted above, Sub 4 combines the best of the old and new. Some things made sense to carry over from Sub Gen 3.
Industry-leading bass? Check.
Iconic design? Check.
Perhaps the most relevant continuation is the overall acoustic architecture, which is part of what allows for Sub 4’s backwards compatibility with previous subwoofer generations.
