CONNECT:AMP for KRK Rockit6 powered speakers?

Hi. I ordered a CONNECT:AMP to setup up a new room with my KRK Rokit6 powered speakers, and I think I might really need a CONNECT. The KRK speakers have RCA cables, and I'm not sure I can connect them to the CONNECT:AMP. If I can, would it require an RCA to Speaker Wire cable? Thanks, Bill

Audio Technica AT-LP5 connection to existing system

Hi, sorry if this has already been answered but if it has my search skills are poor. I'm looking to purchase a Turntable to play some of my old LP's and have come across the Audio Technica AT-LP5 which looks to get good reviews and was wondering what i would need to connect it to my current Sonos setup of Soundbar, Sub and 2 x Play 1's all connected with the Sonos Boost for my Wifi. I can see that Sonos have two options in the Connect and the Connect:Amp but would rather not buy the more expensive Connect:Amp if it will just as additional features that i don't need. Thanks in advance for any response to my questions.

Add three players to a room

hi there I tried to set up a pair of Play:1's and a single Play:3 in the same room (kitchen), but I didn't manage to do so. Is that even possible? Everytime I tried to add the Play:3 as a new player, it kept ending up in the old room it was in before. And just changing the rooms name of the play:3 to kitchen wouldn't work either.

Sonos + IP telephony

Hey, We have 5 ZP120 Sonos devices in our office. Plus VoIP(Snom). Whenever Sonos has been on for more than 20 minutes, our VoIP starts to fall out. People cannot hear us, we cannot hear them. There is also noise. Our VoIP base stations has been moved away from the ZP120 devices. No luck. Any suggestions?

Connect RCA input impedance

Anybody know what the input impedance of the RCA inputs on Connect or Connect Amp are, as I need to design an attenuator. I realise there is a setting for sensitivity, but I use a switch before the RCA input and need to pad down one of those feeds.

Connect, MD tape out and pre amp

I'm thinking about setting up a Sonos network, and wanted to make sure I have this right. I presently have a Denon AVR-1700 receiver hooked up to a Bose pre-amp through the MD/Tape output, so that I can use the Bose 901 speakers I have. The RCA cables go to and from the pre-Amp via RCA. Other inputs to the receiver include a turntable (via RCA) and the television (via optical). It's my understanding that from the pre-amp I can link the Sonos Connect in via RCA, and then throw the signal back to the receiver via digital out on the Connect. I believe anything on the receiver (television, turntable, etc...) could then be transmitted to Play 1 speakers in other zones. Is this correct? Will there be a delay? Pretty confusing (at least for me), so I appreciate any help. Thanks.

ZP100 to integrate a turntable without preamp?

I'm considering adding a turntable to my Sonos setup. There seem to be some good deals on the old ZP100 on eBay currently. Would a ZP100 enable me to add a turntable without the need for an additional preamp?

Integrated SONOSNet 2.0 Extender

I was over on the B & H Photo web site and I was looking at the SONOS Subwoofer. It indicated that the Sub now includes "Integrated SONOSNet 2.0 Extender". I then when to the SONOS website and see no reference to this "New" stuff. I also noticed on the B&H site that they had discontinued Subs. Could someone please explain what changed and why the new is better?

Bridge being discontinued? Do I need one for my SONOS CONNECT

Our router was moved to a closet, so I can't plug my Sonos Connect to it as well as keep it connected to my analog receiver and speakers. What do I need to connect to a network? Is the Bridge still my best option or are there other options?

Basement: Sonos or plan B

Hello fellow Sonos users, My wife & I are working on remodeling the basement and are at the budgetary phase. My wish to is to add another pair in the house of PlayBar & Sub. The room will primarily used by teens (not us - we want to have some peace & quiet!) and if we can't budget the PB+Sub I'll be looking for plan B. Please don't hate me: anyone has a suggestion for a soundbar + wireless sub and maybe 2 more wireless speakers to make a 5.1 setup? Was looking a Vizio, pricing is appealing ($500 for a 5.1 kit) but what about sound, will I cry my price difference away in regret? Same idea with Sony, Polk and other vendors. Damn why did Sonos make sure a good product? 🆒 Looking for advice & guidance, thanks in advance!

Missing rubber feet from my Play 3

Hi Sonos, firstly "I LOVE MY SONOS SPEAKERS"! However I appear to have lost some of the small rubber feet from the Play 3 speakers I have. Please could you let me know where I can purchase some, as the SONOS rep at my local John Lewis does not know where I can. P.S. My favourite are the Play 1's - sleek and powerful

Power supply to speakers

Hi guys, I'm new to sonos but really happy to be part of the community. So far I've got sound bar, play 1s and sub. I notice these are powered up Individually with plug. My question is can these be left plugged in 24/7 For long periods of time or do they need to be turned off when not in use. Thanks for support Kro Brummie65

Sonos doesn't "see" WAV files

In a certain iTunes artist folder, I've got 16 albums, all imported from CDs. 3 were brought in as MP4, the rest WAV. Sonos "sees" the 3 MP4 albums, but not the WAV albums. Any ideas?

Connect Audio line out to Bose media centre not working

I have a Connect working well on two Play 5 speakers using the Audio line out from my Bose MC1 Media Centre. The play 5 speakers are in a seperate room to the Bose system (with its Bose speakers) I would like to now add the ability to play the streamed Sonos content through the Bose system, which I assumed would be a simple task of using the Sonos RCA line out as an input into a Bose audio input. Then selecting that input on the Bose system should work - it didn't ! I have tried disconnecting the Audio line in to the Connect in case of any conflict, but this made no difference. Any suggestions appreciated.

connecting my beamer to sonos

I am connecting devices wireless to my beamer via a Chromecast (HDMI). The beamer is hanging at the ceiling. The sound now comes out of the beamer. The beamer has a line out connection so I can connect my beamer to the headphone jack of my play 5, but then of course I need a cable from my beamer to my play:5. Of course this is not an acceptable solution. Hanging the play:5 at the ceiling isn't an option as well. Splitting video and sound from my device results in synchronisation issues + I would still need a cable from my device to Sonos. So what alternatives do I have to connect my beamer to Sonos? Isn't there a small device that only has a headphone jack and the ability to connect to the sonos network?
