I have two complete Mag6.1 systems. I was told by Bestbuy tech support that I would be able to combine the 2 systems. Can anyone guide me on how a can do this? Or do I install both systems separately and somehow sync them in the Sonos amp?
Question
combining two 6.1 systems
+24Sir, this is an Arby’s.
What is a Mag6.1 and what does this have to do with Sonos?
+17You would NEED two Amps in power to power both Mag6.1 speaker systems, then you can create a group with both Amps, within the app, so that they can play simultaneously.
EDIT: If you have more passive speakers within your home there is a multi-channel amp that can do the same job, plus power more speakers.
Only downside is that you need to hire an installer to purchase and install it.
For clarification… Mag6.1 system refers to a Sonance outdoor speaker system powered by a Sonos Amp sold by Bestbuy in the US (Sonos Amp included).
To your question if you can see both systems as separate rooms in the Sonos App you can “Group” them together. Once grouped they will play the same audio. When ungrouped they act independently meaning you can stream a different audio source to each.
Maybe this is the product. Since it is an 8-Ohm speaker system it would be possible to safely connect two systems to an AMP. I have no experience with these speakers. My intuition would be to use a separate AMP for each speaker system and Group the Rooms to play synchronized content. If you look carefully at the photo, it seems to show an AMP. In SONOS parlance each system would be a separate “Room”.
Edit: I wish that I could type faster!
Ha Ha! The product in your link is the correct system. As I pointed out in my response the Sonos Amp is included. 😊
The OP should have no issues grouping the systems in the App. I they do they can post again for assistance.
