Can the Amp and Connect be told to output mono rather than stereo? Using with mono ceiling speakers in bathroom and kitchen.

Hello, The SONOS Connect and Connect Amps are stereo units. There is no setting in SONOS to currently change that. I am going to move this Questions to the Share an Idea sections. It will get submitted as a feature request for SONOS to output in Mono. This will allow other users to vote on the idea and submit this to the SONOS Product Development Team. You can try to convert the stereo signal to mono if you like, but it would not be supported. You can also check the unsupported section I searched online quickly and found this: http://www.hometech.com/hts/products/audio/converters/at-mm300.html?key=A27&pk_kwd=AT-MM300&gclid=CMCCobTZ97MCFYZM4Aod4F4AWQ

This would be helpful for a back yard as well. You don't want the stereo separation in outdoor areas.

I am completely bummed out that MONO in not offered. Just bought a SONOS AMP for my backyard. Never bothered to check it MONO was an option, because I took for granite that SONOS has considered just about everything. Apparently this is virgin ground for SONOS. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS FOR YOUR OUTDOOR USERS.

I ended up using a Sonos Connect (not Amp) and a separate Pyle PA amp for my back yard. Not nearly as convenient as having a single device, but the Pyle amp takes a stereo input and outputs only mono and has lots of options for speaker impedance. I set the volume on the amp to the loudest I would ever want in my back yard and control the volume through the Sonos controller.

It would also be perfect if one could use both outputs on a CONNECT:AMP as separate channels. I.e. 2 mono speakers controlled separately on the controller.

Great idea,A Mono Option! I went to Sonos to limit the number of components, not increase them. Sonos, any progress?

Op you forgot to ask sonos to let you label the right speaker bathroom and the left speaker kitchen. Lol

Anyone have experience with Audioplex Monomixers used with Sonos Amp?

I'm installing a big Sonos system in a friend's house. Without a mono option the wiring is far more complicated: stereo input ceiling speakers, local impedance matching volume switches, what a nightmare. Thanks for skipping the obvious Sonos. Same camp as Mr. Olson, took it for granted that ceiling speakers and whole house audio would be familiar territory for these guys. With odd rooms and hallways and bathrooms, etc. why would they assume stereo is appropriate everywhere all the time? Odd...

I too have a large Sonos system and need to power outdoor speakers with a mono feed. Please add this to the feature set of the Connect:AMP, and my Sonos satisfaction will remain high.
