Hi all,

So based of advice I was given by both Sonos and my local home theatre installation guys, I upgraded the ceiling speakers in my living room to Sonance Architectural so I could enable a Trueplay tune of the room. After lots of back and forward with support I have since learnt that their documentation was not clear and that a Connect:Amp can only support Trueplay when those speakers are being used as surrounds. (What a waste of $1200!)

 

Anyway instead of giving Sonos another $1000 for a new amp, I was wondering if anyone knows if I can just buy a second hand Sonos Beam, add it to the room where the ceiling speakers are and then will that enable me to do a Trueplay tune of the entire room? I can pickup a Beam Gen 1 for around $300 so seems like a much cheaper alternative if it will work.

 

Thanks in advance! 

Would a new Ray for $275 or so, less if you can get a discount be a better option?

The ray would be perfect for me. Unfortunately it retails for $499 here in Australia though so it becomes too expensive  

Hi @jaytee22 

Yes, the addition of a Beam would allow you to perform TruePlay Tuning, but please be aware that the Beam has to remain part of that configured room - if you ever “unlink” the Beam and Connect:Amp, the TruePlay profile will be lost.

I hope this helps.
