Just installed in June 2020, perfect for the smaller room where this is installed, mounting bracket and assembly were a snap.
Problem, installing Sonos, to an existing Sonos environment.
Easy steps- Power on and then find new devices broadcasting network, switch to sonos network, bring onto existing wifi, update. Then maybe you can install it..
sorry not my design theirs!

Too much to say but overall love it.
Charges, phones and everything else, sounds great when well placed to reflect sound.
Convenient for outdoor use as well as everywhere indoors, phone hooks up easily.
Missing a next button, but pause play is convenient.
Never had success with a phone call through it, as advertised.

As by now we should all be skilled at installing these correctly and without dust.
If your not, have a pro do the work, the longterm enjoyment is best without specs underneath.

Part opposable thumb for your phone, part stylish phone accessory. PopSockets PopGrip offers a secure grip so you can text with one hand and snap better photos. Functions as a convenient stand so you can place your phone up on a table to watch videos. When you’re done, it collapses flat. Did we mention each PopSockets PopGrip includes a swappable PopTop? Switch out your PopTop for another or remove it completely for wireless charging capabilities. Just close the grip flat, press down, and twist 90 degrees to swap out the top. Allows for hands-free use with the PopMounts.

Only at Best BuyMount your flat-panel TV to the wall easily with this tilting mount that features a locking mechanism for secure installation and a fingertip tilt that allows for smooth movement and optimal viewing.
 

When we moved we lost the plate that mounts to the wall. We still have the brackets that mount to the TV. Is it possible to get a replacement plate or do I need to by a whole new mount?

Possible if you can reach the manufacturer. This was sent to me to answer, Sorry I could not be more helpful.
At least you already have the bolts for the rails to the tv.

 Sonos - Low-Profile Wall Mount for PLAYBAR Soundbars - Black
Sonos - Low-Profile Wall Mount for PLAYBAR Soundbars - Black
Easily display your PLAYBAR soundbar with this SONOS PBRWMWW1 wall mount that features a low-profile design for a sleek look and aluminum material for durability.
 

Does soundbar have to have mounting holes on back?

The mounting is through spaces similiar to a tv wall mount slot. #10/32 screws with counter sink heads are perfect and allow sonos to have room to mount.
Any obtrusion from a screw head will prevent sound device to adhere properly. Everything should be flush and even.

 Sanus - Premium Series Advanced Tilt TV Wall Mount For Most TVs 42&quot;-90&quot; up to 150 lbs - Black
Sanus - Premium Series Advanced Tilt TV Wall Mount For Most TVs 42"-90" up to 150 lbs - Black
Tilt or extend your television for maximum viewing enjoyment with this Sanus Advanced Tilt TV wall mount. Able to support up to 150 pounds of weight, this mount can easily handle flat screen televisions up to 90 inches. Click, lock and release on this Sanus Advanced Tilt TV wall mount let you find a viewing angle and secure it.
 

Will this mount work for a Samsung QN65Q70RAFXZA? VESA mounting for the monitor states 400 x 300, but the mount doesn’t state that it supports that pattern

Mounts are by size of device not pixels.
Check the size in inches or cm, and convert as needed. Hope that helps answer your question.
All tv’s have standard backplane mounting holes, although screw depths and pitches vary, mounts come with lots of optional screws and washers for adaptability, and 90% of the time its all in the box, once in a while, I have to go looking for a proper screw at lowe’s.

I'm looking to play downloaded music from my smart phone while using connect's coax output to my DAC. The DAC will feed a wired system What is the best way for connecting and do I need a booster? What does the ethernet port provide for connection?

The sonos output connects over rca. If you cut one end you can connect with the center wires if necessary. (PA system Voltage units often us wire)
Ethernet, places on your network and can act as a hub to a second sonos.
