What Are Zones?
A zone is just another word for a room in your house—Sonos lets you enjoy music in
up to 32 rooms, inside or out. We call them zones because you can group rooms

every room. This means you can link the kitchen and the patio together while
barbecuing, link all the rooms in the house together for a party, or leave all the rooms
unlinked and let the kids can enjoy rap in their rooms while you listen to jazz in your

Link zones together to form a zone group
Drop a zone from a zone group
