Components and Architectural

I am getting ready to install two ceiling speakers in my kitchen and connecting them to a Sonos amp in the living room. I’m wondering about wiring. The amp uses banana plugs but it looks like the speakers don’t. Will the holes in the ceiling speaker except banana plugs? can I tighten down or is it need to be unterminated  cable that goes into to the ceiling speakers?

So I’ve used this one maybe 20 times and now it does not start to turn. Blue light on 33 blinks fast. Can’t remember if it used to do that or stayed solid?  anyone know if this could be some software issue ?

How do i change my connect:AMP what is the main device in the house to the Sonos Port?And another question! Could set up my “Sonos Port” as the main device and use the “Sonos Connect” on the Sonos 2 system?

I used to run a Sonos Arc + sub gen 2 + play:1 surrounds in my home theater room with a 70” bravia 4k tv and I was very happy with the surround sound experience, but not really happy with the music I got from it… The pair of fives in the kitchen/dining space sounded far more full and really pulled me in.I’ve now moved out of the big house to an apartment. My current plan is to set up a projector for the once a month or so I want to watch a movie, and use an AMP 4.1 setup, since the primary duty will be music.Question is, what speakers to use for the mains… I don’t like the idea of spending a grand on a system that I won’t be able to tune, so my current thinking is to get some Sonos Architectural wall or ceiling speakers as the mains…Has anyone here used all three of the in-wall 6.5’s, in-ceiling 6.5’s and in-ceiling 8’s that you could compare and say if you’d recommend any of them for this type of use? Or, should I be looking at floorstanders or bookshelf mains and lose out on the DSP

I am thinking about redoing the audio in our family room and using an amp to run two towers and a center speaker. Back in the day, we would create a center channel by grabbing the negative of one side and run it to the positive of the speaker. Then we would grab the positive of the other side and run it to the negative of the speaker. Or we would series the center with the two fronts.  I believe the amp has to have a grounded output and not be bridged. I am not familiar with the Sonos amp’s internals enough to know if this is the case or not. Does anyone have a similar setup like this?

Looking for advice , Have many Sonos Products and love them , Wanting to purchase two Amps and run one for each passive speaker , Will the Amp run a Bi Amp mode ?

Can anyone confirm if the Port has an optic in connection please? Trying to connect a Novafidelity X12 (Cocktail audio) streamer to Sonos. Thanks in advance. 

 I have a very irregular listening space and currently use 3 ERA 100s and a sub mini. This config is for MUSIC ONLY. I have a Beam Gen 2 in a bedroom for TV audio only. Because of the weird room(s) dynamics I have the 100s positioned 20 feet apart in a triangle formation for a listening area of 770 sq feet. I like the sound of the 100s but just ordered a pair of 300s. 20 feet apart is not ideal for stereo pairing and need to know how badly this will affect Stereo pairing the 300s. They (300s) apparently have better “features” and capacity for more “spacial” sound delivery.  I plan to use the 300s as the “main” speakers with either 1, 2 or 3 100s placed in more “obscure/strategic" locations in the listening space. If I do not pair the 300s how will this affect sound delivery in 770 sq feet of listening area with weird room angles and a 5 foot wide floor to ceiling (open space) wall within the listening area? I listen to Atmos and non-atmos tracks and still hoping to get optimum dispersi

I have 8+ Sonos amps (white), for over a year I have suffered through interruption and stoppage of the music. I have been diagnosed by the highest level support (Atom). And the best response I was given was memory is failing and you need to buy new hardware. It is a significant investment, and hard to believe this is the best solution Sonos can provide. With that said my setup is such that I can’t easily switch to an alternative so I tried to use the discount code provided….and guess what the coupon didn’t work!!!

My connect was working. Then it stopped after I unplugged it to test a new amp. I tried to reset the connect by pressing the play/pause button while I power it on for a min. The light just stays white the whole time , it never flashes amber. Anything else I can try?

Hi all, I’m experiencing issues connecting my Audio Technica AT-LPW40WN turntable to era 300 speakers. When I connect the RCA to turntable and 3.5mm jack + line in jack to era 300, nothing shows up in the line in option on the Sonos app. Any suggestions?  

I have (3) Sonos Connect 1st Gen Wireless amps. (2) of them are side by side right next to my router. 1 of the 2 is constantly cutting in and out and it is the only one that does this. The other 2 performs perfectly. (Also, one of those amps are connected directly to my router.) I know it’s not the streaming service that I use because it cuts out not matter what streaming service I use. It could be interference, but there isn’t anything else around my router or the amps that it could be interfering with. Please help   

Ik heb een Marantz model CR611 die ik graag zou willen koppelen aan mijn Sonos one speakers Iemand een idee welke mogelijkheden er zijn?

I have a new Sonos Amp and a SVS subwoofer hum problem that I can't diagnose.1. When the Sonos Amp is UNPLUGGED and the mains outs are unplugged and only the sub out on the Sonos Amp is connected to the SVS sub, there's a hum. The hum is louder than when the Sonos Amp is plugged into the wall.2. When I unplug the Sonos amp and turn off the sub amp, then turn on the sub amp and plug in the Sonos amp, humming starts after a few seconds—before the white light on the Sonos amp stops blinking.3. There is no hum When the sub is plugged into the receiver.4. When the sub RCA isn't plugged into anything, there is no hum.5. I've tried plugging both the Sonos amp and the sub into the same outlet. They're still humming.6. I've tried new high-end shielded cables from SVS. Still humming.7. I've tried on a different SVS sub. Still humming.8. I've tried a ground loop isolator. Still humming.8. I've tried plugging the Sonos amp into a different circuit 100' away from the sub outlet, but it's still humm

What do you all think about the Amp powering Yamaha NS-F150 speakers ? They are 88 sen and 6ohm 

My system exists of a beam gen1 and sub gen 1 in the living room and 1 one in the kitchen.I wanted to connect my old cd-player or recordplayer to my system. I managed to get my hands on a second hand sonos connect gen2.I installed the connect to my system. Updated it etc.I can see a “line-IN” option in my homescreen in the S2 app under sources. When i select this Line-IN, i get another screen which shows the connect. After that nothing happens. On my test setup, met old cd-player is connected to the IN ports red and white.I tested the cd-player with a receiver to make sure there was signal coming out of the cd-player,

Sounds fading in and outI’ve got 5 Sonos AMPs in my home in separate zones.  Some point this year, I believe since the update, one of my amps/zones consistently won’t play music without routinely fading in and out (to silence).  It does this approximately every 20-30 seconds and lasts about 2 seconds. All amps are hard connected to LAN via ethernet from a Ethernet switch. It is the same amp every time.  If I play it alone or in a group, it will do this. I have powered on and off the entire AV system starting at modem, router and amps. This occurs with AirPlay or streaming through app. Any ideas what this could be coming from?   I am hoping it isn’t an amp issue as it worked perfectly fine for several years previously. 

I have two older Sonos Connect systems operated with the S2 App.  One of the systems has been suffering from ten second drops in streaming music every 20 minutes or so.   Our router is very close to the system, doubt that signal strength is the issue.   Have tried the usual steps (unplugging etc) other than (1) factory reset and (2) updating the Connect firmware/software. The problem I am having is that while I can log into the Sonos app, when I try to log into the “system” the log in fails.   I figure I need to log into the system to update it.   I’m told “something went wrong try again.”  I am guessing that the system was registered under my old, now inaccessible work email address even though it seems like the app itself works, I can play music etc.We had many issues with the system after the update earlier this year but most of them seem resolved.   Would really like to avoid a factory reset if possible.

I have a pair of Sonos ERA 300 speakers, they are grouped, and I have a turntable connected to one of the speakers using the Sonos adapter (USB-C/Jack). However, the sound from the turntable only plays on one speaker. Is this normal?

Hi have a SONOS 1 system and a new AMP to deliver music to Bose speakers in my room. I have downgraded the AMP to Sonos 1. I play music on iTunes on my PC, and this gets into the Sonos system through my line in of the AMP. This plays without interruption on the many SONOS speakers I have, but the Bose speakers in my room drop out for a second every once in a while. How to ensure that the AMP sufficiently buffers sound for the Bose speakers, connected to the AMP?Thanks in advance for looking into this.

Hello Im trying to get my Amp to use trueplay for my in wall sonance architectural speakers. I can hear the shrill noise but then it says No Sonos Architectual speakers detected. I bought these from the sonos website. I'm using 16 gauge wire.  Any advice to troubleshoot?

On the verge of insanity here. I’ve upgraded all compatible products in my system (Play 1’s, arc) to the new S2 controller to have everything in one place. Plan was to leave my gen 1 Connect (which is incompatible with S2 controller) and Boost on the old app. After much effort I’ve managed to move everything I wanted to the new app. However when trying to now create a new system on S1 for the Connect/Boost I've ran into a wall. The Boost has connected fine, but when I tried to sort the Connect it just won't work. First my S1 app started crashing every time it asked me to enter the WIFI password when setting up Connect. Then when I tried on different device it just won’t work: app will run into problems due I think to WIFI connectivity. The infuriating part is that the Connect is in the exact same place it has been for years with no problems. I’ve tried everything: factory reset the connect, temporarily wire it to the router via ethernet cable and then move back once set up, but app sti

My system was working well but recently only one of four architectural speakers connected to an AMP has sound? I have interchanged the wire connection and only the same speaker has sound.

Hi.  I have a new Onkyo receiver and a new Port.  I have the digital coax output from the Port to the input of the receiver, as instructed in the setup.  I have an RCA output from the Line 2/B of the receiver to the Line In of the Port.  I have the Port grouped with two OneSL speakers.  I can see that the sound is going from receiver to the Port and the other two speakers; however, there is no sound output from these speakers.  What am I doing wrong? I have done the global software update to all of my Sonos products.
