Components and Architectural

Hi. We use the Sono Connect in our warehouses and it's amazing. Turn the music off to have a chat or the volume down or up to get everyone moving. Recently you added alarms to your app and it's great except you didn't add seconds to the alarm duration. We would like this so that we can run a short 5 second or so alarm when it's break or lunch or the end of the day. Can you hear the yabba dabba dooo now!:?

Looking to install 2 pairs of in ceiling speakers and 2 pairs of external speakers. There is no requirement for these to ever play separate music but would like the ability to pick any pair or combination of pairs up to all 4 pairs to be played in sync. Don't see the point in installing 4 C:A or even 2 C:A. I'm thinking of pairing a Connect with a 3rd party Amp able to drive all these speakers. Looking for recommendations on a suitable Amp for this purpose. Other connection ideas also welcomed Thanks

I would like to stream my existing CD player & Turntable to a PLAY 1 via a CONNECT unit. The components have standard connections to a receiver. What is the proper connection from the CONNECT to the receiver? There is a TAPE (rec) and a TAPE (play) available. (The components play fine when individually connected to the CONNECT.

I'm looking for advice to see if the sonos connect amp is the right choice for me. I am trying to add a second zone to my 7.1 home theater. If I add the sonos connect amplifier as a second zone from my home theater, then connect 2 speakers to the outside of the house, I should be able to listen to what is playing on the home theater outside; correct? This should be a one way only from theater to sonos connected speakers? If so, I can add a wireless speaker to that new sonos 2nd zone amp and choose which of the speakers to activate to listen to?

I've had my tv connected via phono leads to my Connect and into my stereo since I bought my Sonos set-up three years ago. It's worked perfectly fine for watching tv, movies, YouTube, etc but now there is about a 2 second lag between the picture and the sound which makes this method completely unwatchable! What has caused this and why? And what can be done to rectify it.

Hi people, I'm new to the community and own a play 1 and 5. They are of the newer type that do not need a bridge and set up was fairly straight forward for a non techie.I was thinking of buying a second hand connect from ebay, but wanted it to be as simple as the 1 and 5 simple to install! Which models should I be looking at that onstall/ connect over wifi? Am i correct in thinking that some of the older ones will need a bridge or ethernet connection? Thanks in anticipation Mustardbufc

First time post and a bit of a techno dummy even though I like my gadgets. I have a Sonos system in my home which was set up by others and its worked well for 7 years with CONNECT AMPS in 7 rooms with ceiling speakers and a ZP90 CONNECT. I just had to replace the CONNECT so that set me back a few hundred pound but now one of my CONNECT AMPS is dead. Its in the 3rd bedroom and connected to the ceiling speakers but is very rarely used so I don't really want to spend £450 on a new one is there something else (cheaper) I can connect to the system / speakers in that room? Can anyone assist?

Hi, I would like to connect my speaker Parrot by Starck to my Sonos system using my ConnectAmp. Is it possible ? (via the Ethernet Ports or the Speaker terminals at the back) Thanks !

i was reading you no longer need a sonos wireless bridge with the sonos equipment... so i guess i can remove my bridge now. i have crazy fast inter net speeds, about 115 Mbps.. i also have crazy fast gaming wireless router. basically we can stream, game and what not on several computers no problem.. we got way more power than i think we actually need so i dont think the bridge is doing any good if its not actually needed any more. At the time i bought my connect you had to have the bridge to use the sonos connect with wireless ( no wired hook up on the room so i need it on wife). Now i am reading a update made so you don't need the bridge anymore..... one less link in the chain seems like tit would be the best option and i know my wifi network can handle it no problem.. is there any reason i should continue to use the old wireless bridge.... its the old one, not the new boost bridge

Hello to all. I recently purchased a Sonos boost even if I still don't have any other Sonos speaker in my house. I'm going to purchase a playbar anyway in a few days, but I prefer to purchase the Boost in advance sinsce it was 50% off in my nearby store. All the setup should be set correctly, but I have a question: Is the boost supposed to create a separate wifi network that I should see in my network list (i.e. "Sonos wifi" or something similar)? I make this question since I cannot see any other additional network in my wifi list, but trough the Sonos controller app, all the settings seems to be OK. Maybe, in order to see the new Sonos network, I have to pair also at least one sonos speaker? Thanks in advance

I updated the system software today and since then my zp90 just has a continuous flashing white light. The other items connected to the system still work. I have tried factory reset and no joy. Please can you assist.

I use Sonos connect Amps to supply music to wired speakers everywhere in my home except the basement. I have a home stereo / theatre in the basement that I’d like to play Sonos through occasionally. Can this be accomplished using Chrome Cast audio instead of a Sonos connect? The amp for the basement stereo is a Pioneer Elite VSX-60.

Right, I've done a bit of searching around but haven't managed to find any answers yet. Basically, I'm using 2 play 1's as a stereo pair of PC speakers. I've got my output of the pc into a connect and then onto the speakers. I also have Google Home which I was hoping to have connected to my sonos system as well. Is it possible to run an optical input to the connect AND a Chromecast audio at the same time? Or will the connect only take 1 input at a time?

I have a Sonos Control in two locations and driving two A/V Stereo systems in my home. I would like to voice control them and adding a Sonos One. By adding a Sonos One i get a speaker in my kitchen. The question is can i group the music between the "Sonos one" and the two "Sonos Control" so they are all in sync? will there be any delay in playback as the kitchen is close to the family room where one of the AV systems is?

Anybody know the output voltage on the analog jacks of a connect in low and high volume settings? Having problems with my Crown amp (xls1002) output. The volume level is too low to non existent at lower volume settings. Crowne says output need to be min 1.4v and +4 dbu.

Is Sonos ever going to refresh their Connect and Connect Amp? If they are thinking about it they may want to look at what Yamaha has done with their wxc-50 and wxa-50 modules. They seem to have everything but MQA

I might be jumping the gun here, but I want to have my ducks in a row in advance. My Sonos collection is growing fast. Started with a 5 a couple of weeks ago, added a Play a week later and now according to UPS tracking, I will be receiving my Sonos 5.1 system tomorrow. Everything seems to be incredibly simple to set up, but I am not sure of one thing. I will be adding another Sonos 5 for a stereo system in the same room as the home theatre. How do I get the subwoofer (only) to play with my two Sonos 5 speakers setup as a separate stereo system? As an aside, I will be adding the second 5 as soon as I get the 5.1 system set up.

Hi all, I currently have a DAB radio connected to a connect amp via line in. The connect amp is grouped with a couple of other speakers / connect amps so when the DAB radio is turned on it is played in all zones. I was looking at upgrading my current DAB radio to the below http://www.eu.onkyo.com/en/products/cr-n775d-146574.html?tab=Stage What would be the setup I need to connect this input so it works in the same way as my current setup? I note this has a built in amplifier so I presume the speakers would need to connect to this unit? Do I therefore need a sonos connect? And if so what would the connections need to be? I was planning to get another connect amp for a new zone but if I could get a connect instead and use my current connect amp elsewhere it I would be cheaper. Is it possible to use a connect amp with this new input? I'm currently re-wiring my house and hoping to put the connect or connect amp some distance from the speakers/input unit. But can't seem to

How many regular speakers can I hook up to the Connect AMP?

I have a connect that I have connected to an older ADCOM power (125 watts) amp. The volume that I get from this setup is on the very low side. Has any one tried a similar setup and what were your results? Is the connect not able to drive a power amp of the size that I am using?

Sonos One has terrific sound. It would be great if one day Sonos put out a 360° omnidirectional speaker.

Considering buying a Play 5 for both Spotify and to hook up the to a conventional high end stereo CD player (please don’t try to convince me to rip several thousand CDs). In settings I read you adjust to play automatically from line in. Pop in CD, press play, bingo. Would this change of settings interfere with or override Alexa because Sonos is looking only to “line in”? In other words, after I play the CD, can I just bark into Sonos: “Alexa, play What is Love”? Tx

Hi! I have two terminal posts snapped off a zp 100. Sonos will not supply spare parts. They will do a out of warranty replacement, for a fee. I don't really need a new amplifier, all I need is to connect two loudspeaker cables to the slightly broken amp I have. Has anyone any experience of sourcing and fitting replacement terminal posts? Or, failing that, removing the cover and soldering the speaker cables into place? Thanks

Can I connect a SONOS CONNECT:AMP Wireless Streaming Music System with Amplifier for Speakers (ZonePlayer120) to a 4way amp splitter to allow me to send music to my ceiling mounted speakers

I understand you can plug a record player into a Sonos Connect to then send to a Sonos speaker, can you send to multiple sonos speakers? And do you need a phono stage or is there one built into the connect or connect amp?
