My elac speakers doesnt sound good connected to my sonos amp;ifier, the sub sonos also is connected and i thonk the sub is the only one that makes the sound good, elac lacks power!

It is known that Trueplay works on the Sonos Amp with 2 Sonance in-ceiling speakers.However, when you connect 4 Sonance speakers in parallel as described in this article, does the Trueplay still work?

Has anyone tried mounting an amp sideways behind TV? or would there be any problems?I have a set of ceiling speakers that are wired to behind my TV and I’d like a clean hidden wires setup, so I’m considering mounting my amp behind the TV somehow.  The cable limitations for the HDMI are driving me to this solution.  

We have 4 built in ceiling speakers (non-Sonos) in our basement - they are currently hooked up to a non-Sonos receiver/amp, which is connected to a turntable with a preamp setup.  How would I go about setting up those 4 speakers to Sonos?  I guess I am looking into 2 ideas: Is it possible to feed the current receiver/amp into Sonos so I can play the turntables over the Sonos system? Is it possible to connect the 4 wired speakers into Sonos, so I can play Sonos music to the hardwired legacy speakers?Any ideas are appreciated.  Thanks so much!

Has anyone had any luck with longer hdmi cables?i tried a 20m long one, supposedly high speed, but it doesn’t work. 

I am no longer getting sound through my Sonos connect from my turntable. It is connected to Sonos one speakers and was working fine last week. I have looked on the Sonos tips, but no settings have changed since last week so that does not help. My connect still appears as connected in my app. Any suggestions?

Help!I am failing to get sound from my turntable. I have the Pro-ject Essential III (no pre-amp) connected with the turntable RCA wires into the Pro-Ject Phono Box S2 RCA in ports. Then from the Amp Box out ports connected to the Sonos Amp RCA in port.I can get sound to the speakers if I stream music into the Sonos Amp from my phone. But turning on the turntable and playing vinyl, I only hear the slightest sound from the turntable. Not sound through the Amp or speakers.Somewhere between the Turntable and Amp is a problem, but I have tried everything I can think. The turntable has no pre-amp, but I have an external pre-amp connected. There is no switch on the turntable for phone/line out. The Phono Box S2 seems to be working, at least the light is on. Help!!!!Thank you for any insights!

I have a Rega RP1 turntable and a Sony CD player that I plug into an amplifier, which goes through the tape monitor loop to an equalizer and then the amp goes back out to a Sonos Connect.It dawned on me - the amplifier is physically big. With the Connect, my balance and volume (and tuner) is controlled through the Sonos app.So really all I’m doing is:Using it as a preamp (and ground) for the LP Switching back and forth between the CD and LPSo it dawned on me, do I need the amp?Could I get a basic phono pre-amp (for example) and go straight from LP to preamp to EQ to Connect?And to combine LP and CD, goLP=>Preamp=>A/B Selector Switch=>Connect  and CD=>A/B Switch=>ConnectRight?

I need to replace one of my Connects that is Gen 1 and therefore not Sonos II compliant. I will be picking up a Port to replace it.My question: if you are using the digital output to go into an outboard DAC, is the digital signal presumably a pure unprocessed bitstream?  I had assumed that this would be the case with both units, but have read that if you use the Port even for volume level, you are implementing a layer of signal processing that may/will affect sound quality.  I do not know if that was the same situation with the Connect.When I get the Port I will have the choice of using it in one of my high res systems where volume is adjusted by another unit or in a secondary system where I do use the volume adjustment of the Sonos unit.Does use of volume control with the Port affect sound quality?Does use of volume control with the Connect affect sound quality?FWIW, I have found the on board DA conversion on the Connect to be adequate for background music but deficient for serious li

Hi all,Hoping someone with more knowledge than me about speaker ohms can help answer my question.I have 2 of these speakers: https://www.digitalcinema.com.au/jamo-8-52dvca2-in-ceiling-speaker.htmlThey are stereo speakers so each speaker has a L and R channel input.I will be putting one speaker in 2 different small bathrooms and connecting them to a single Sonos Connect Amp.Then to have the ability to switch between the bathrooms if need I will be installing this switch: https://www.selby.com.au/av-distribution/av-switches-splitters/switches/audio/2-way-speaker-switch-200w-a1003.htmlMost of the time I will just have both bathrooms playing together but on the specs sheet it says:Impedance Chart (for 8 Ohm Speakers)Only switch 1 on: 8 Ohm impedanceOnly switch 2 on: 8 Ohm impedanceSwitches 1 & 2 on: 16 Ohm impedanceDoes this mean that I will have a 16 Ohm impedance and will that be ok with the Sonos amp?Is there another way I should be doing this?Cheers! 

I have an issue that has annoyed me for well over a year now, but today it was particularly bad. I haven’t seen anyone else with the same issue. So decided to post here. I have looked on the forums for a solution, but no-one else seems to have the same issue.--- SYSTEM --- My Sonos system is comprised of a Connect and 2 Play:1s.The Connect is connected to ethernet back to the router. Both Play:1s are on wireless.This issue only seems to affect the Connect, so I don’t believe this is specifically a network issue.--- ISSUE ---The issue is that the connect will jump/skip/stutter the audio of a song. Now I don’t mean skip to the next track, I mean jump like a record skipping, it just seems to “miss a beat” here and there. (I have some audio recordings of it doing it, but I never seem to manage the really bad ones). It will often happen more at the beginning of a track.For extra information, it does not matter if I am streaming FLAC or MP3 from my NAS Drive or online streaming from Spotify/

Hello I have been using the Sonos amp with third party speakers for a few weeks and for the most part love it. I'd like to suggest some enhancements. Are any of these possible?- Bluesound (Sonos' competitor) has a volume leveling option which is great when streaming music from a playlist with different artists and recordings. It would be nice to see this option in Sonos. - EQ and sub settings that can be customized and saved for different audio sources/inputs (mainly home theatre and music) as I often have to adjust levels when switching between content. - A display of audio stream quality when playing music through the Sonos app. Even just to verify it is coming through at CD quality/hi-res. Amazon's music app has this for example. - A FireTV Sonos app. I could then run everything right from my TV and not have to use the phone. I also wondered if it's possible to enable RCA input functionality without internet. The other day my internet went down and I had hoped to listen to some viny

Hello,I am looking to complete an install that was started a while back.I have 5 zones (5 pairs) of speakers with volume controls already installed. 3 zones have a pair Proficient C621 ceiling mounted speakers with PVC2 volume controls on each pair.1 zone has Proficent AW650’s and a PVC2 volume control. These are outdoors.1 zone has a Proficient C635 TT dual voice coil with a volume control.All of these pairs home run back to a central location and are hooked up to a Niles SS-6My intent is to have the Niles SS6-6 on and all zones turned on at all times and use the volume controls to control volume and just turn all the way to zero when music in that room is not needed. the SS-6 is strictly used for the impedence protection at this point.I have a Sonos Connect but I do not have a amplifier currently. Since the Sonos Connect is discontinued product my thought was to sell it and purchase a Sonos Amp and feed that into the speaker selector to power my speakers. This would reduce the amount

I've just got a Sonos Connect (gen 2) second hand and a pai of B&W WM4 outdoor speakers. I don't have an amp so I'm considering buying a Nobsound or Fosi Audio mini Bluetooth amplifier (under €100).Has anyone used either of these mini amps with a Sonos Connect? Your experience? 

Hello, Quick question, SONOS ONE GEN2 and SONOS ONE SL are the same product, but for the microphones. I noted that  SONOS BEAM and SONO MOVE use their microphones also for optimizing the sound, and not only for the assistance. I was wondering if the Sonos One Gen2 do the same time (or will do), or well, if its microphones are only for the assistance?? Thank you ! 

I know this topic has been discussed before, but all the topics I could find have been closed for discussion.I would love for Sonos to add an option to have zero line-in delay in exchange for the inability to route the line-in signal wirelessly to other speakers. This is for music making purposes. Others have mentioned turn tables, in my case it’s keyboards/synths connected to a Sonos Amp.I love the Sonos Amp, I have it hooked up to my TV, and I love the ability to have it play my Spotify in my living room and other rooms together.But there is a real use case, for me as well as for others who have posted before me, to use a given Sonos speaker (and in particular the amp) in a wired-only setting with zero latency.  I know I could connect a Sonos connect and a dedicated amp to my living room speakers to get that (and bypass the connect when I need zero latency), but then I’d lose the automatic turn on/off feature of the Sonos Amp for all the times where I just play regular music over it,

I am thinking about getting the new Sonos Amp and wondered about the subwoofer crossover.  Can anyone provide the technical details of the crossover when plugging in a third party sub? It says the crossover is user adjustable from 50-110 Hz. Does that mean when active, it’s both a low pass for the sub out as well as a high pass for the speakers (at the selected frequency)? What slope is the crossover (X dB / octave)?  Is it the same slope for low pass and high pass? Finally, for those using the Amp with a third party sub, how do you like it? How is the bass blend between sub and speakers? (please list where you have your crossover set) Thank you!

I have a Connect Amp and 4 arch. speakers.this will go into two patio areas, and i want to wire them through a zone selector switch (passive), 8 ohm impedance supported on the selector switch (100w per channel)is this a valid config to wire them into two zones and you can select where to play the music this way ?Thoughts ? gotchas?

Hi there,I’m considering puchasing / connecting a Sonos Port to a Denon AVR2700h 5.1.2 set up (to connect the TV speakes with the rest of the house driven by a couple of Sonos Amps). I’ve not bought any of this equipment and a bit of noob so just wondering:I assume the Sonos Amps need to stay on all the time to receive signal from the App? Is that the same for the Sonos Port? And then again for the Denon? Or do they all stay on “standby” until I use the Sonos App? Most importantly: if they are on standby, will the Sonos Port be able to “wake” the Denon? If not, is there another way of doing this?Many thanks

have wired speakers on upper and lower patio connected to anthem avm60. Have sonos port. Would like to know if port could control the volumn fron sonos app? Will i need 2 ports to control volumn on each patio? Will phone app allow this?

Lost a room from the App. Unfortunately it’s the room where I listen most. I’ve followed all the online suggestions for unplugging, rebooting etc, and have tried changing wireless channels without success (switched from channel 6 to 1 then 11, now back on 6).Diagnostic ref is 1408381915There is a current problem with Virgin Media services in my area. On demand services have been patchy of late (e.g. iPlayer won’t load) and Virgin now have a system message up stating that on demand services will be down till end Monday (1Feb21) - could these issues be related?  

Hi,I’ve a ZP80 that I’ve kept around to use the line-in input for a turntable. I have not used this for a while, (and it worked perfectly in the past), but when I try to use it now it does not work, I can’t get audio from the ZP80 tline-in o other Sonos speakers in the house. The ZP80 is showing that Line-in is connected, but no audio. Thanks,Ian

I see that similar questions have been asked in the past, but I’m wondering if there is any update. I own a few houses, each has multi zone Levitan audio systems in them which I hate. I would love to replace my 12 zone and 16 zone house systems with a similar Sonos system without having to buy 30+ connect amps. Are you developing a multi zone system, or is one of your partners developing a Sonos compatible multi zone system?

 i have four architectural speakers that i am planning to hang them facing down from the ceiling - on the rafters of this covered patio. there will be 4 speakers for a total coverage of 330 sq ft (rectangular 12ft x 33 ft ) sized patio. Is this a good orientation for these speakers ?

I just upgraded from Connect:Amp to Amp. I notice a big difference in volume at the same setting, which I expected, but also a huge difference in sound quality. Bass is way fuller, mids and treble way clearer. Overall, much “punchier”. I did not expect that. My speakers are Martin Logan Motion 40s.Anyone else’s experience of this upgrade?
