Click ‘Settings’. The zone is set to stream Standard (96 kbit/s) by default. Choose from:
Low: 64 kbit/s (saves mobile data, best for unreliable connections and stores more tracks)
Standard: 96 kbit/s (matches Spotify’s default bitrate on mobile players)
High: 160 kbit/s (matches Spotify’s default bitrate on desktop)
Highest: 320 kbit/s (requires the Hi-Fi add-on)
Want the best possible sound? The Hi-Fi add-on unlocks Highest (320 kbit/s) on all your zones. Two exceptions: Sonos streams at a maximum of 96 kbit/s, and the web player at a maximum of 160 kbit/s.
