Components & Architectural

I have a Home Automation Inc (HAI) Hi-Fi2, 8 zone sound system that I am interested in replacing as it is working intermittently and the manufacturer has discontinued the product.  Each zone corresponds to a room in the house with 2 speakers mounted in the ceiling and a small control panel.  All the speakers/control panels are wired and run back to the main Hi-Fi2 control box.  The main control box has numerous audio inputs allowing you to select (via the small control panel in each room) from multiple line-in sources (e.g. amplifier, iPhone, CD player, etc.) .  My questions: Is there a Sonos product that could be used to replace the HAI Hi-Fi2 box, but still use the existing speakers?  I’m assuming the Sonos App would replace the individual control panels.  Would I still have the option to connect and select from multiple line-in sources? Is this a DIY installation or do I need a professional?  (I am comfortable with computers, networks, hand/power tools and can follow instructions).A

I have 4 Sonos ceiling speakers , one amp and one arc ultra. I have connected 4 speakers to one amp , how can I play 2 speakers separately 

I'd like help/support from the community. I currently have a Sonos amp system connected to two Era 300s and a Sub 3. I use this setup connected to a turntable. The sound quality is really good, and I'm very satisfied. But I have a large CD collection that my daughter wants to listen to, and I'm thinking about it in acquiring a CD player. I've been thinking about how to integrate it into the system without having to use the option to connect/disconnect the devices when using them. My best option, in my opinion, is to connect both the turntable and the CD player to a receiver.My question is whether I can connect the receiver to the Sonos amp or if it requires some other accessory. 

I’m buying a project turntable through Sonos and want to confirm that it will connect through my arc soundbar

Hi all Simple question, if I connect a CD player via say an Erra 100 with the adaptor cable, will this play through all my speakers on the system or just through the connected one.TIA 

I have a 5.1 receiver with a connect amp connected to listen to music through the  receivers speakers.  I have a new kitchen with 3 dual channel ceiling speakers.  I’d like to be able to listen to music through the existing 5.1 system as well as the new dual channel speakers.(x3). This might be a simple fix, but I’m not sure how to add these new speakers, as each speaker takes 2 channels for the stereo experience. (L n R x 2). Another receiver?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  McMac 

I have simple setup where my Sony TV is connected to a set of Klipsch speakers as the main audio output, and I also have an Amp which is connected to the speakers. I noticed that when I listen to Spotify on the tv/speakers, the sound is much louder and clearer than if I played it directly from the app and amp. Does anyone know why? This is puzzling me since if anything I should expect better quality from the amp. TIA!

I recently bought a pair of SONOS ERA 100.I created a group for Sonos ERA 100 called “FrontERA100”I would like to know if I can include the sub on a seperate group? Is this possible when the sub is already assign to a different group called “TV Room” with a Beam and Play 1(2 rear) configured?OrI need to purchase another sub? Caused my end goal for music is just to listen ther SONOS Era 100 and Sub.

Hi, I would like to know your recommendations to clean the dust inside the sub mini. Can I use a soft cloth or something to clean carefully the speakers? They have a lot of dust in the bottom side of the speaker cones.Thanks!

After housing for a week or so when it worked fine,  some reason Sonos could not find 3/5 pieces of kit and says “this kit is part of another system, reset and add to new system” - a real pain to have to force the reset on each and add - using “Sonos network” when it asked.however for 1 piece, this doesn’t work - it says created temp Sonos network “ but my phone cannot find it to connect to. Have tried adding it to system via Ethernet network but when I try and access it it disappears from the system and needs readding - any suggestions ? 

Looking to purchase and install GARDEN SERIES SGS 8.1 OUTDOOR SYSTEM (8 - SATS, 1 - SUB).  I see that these systems include an optional SOnance Amp.  Would I need to purchase the Sonance Amp as well as the SONOS Amp, or will it work well connecting direct to the Sonos amp

I just purchased 4 Sonos ERA1 and 1 ERA 300…I’m loving the experience. I would like to use them with my TV until I can squirrel away the funds to buy an Arc Ultra. Is the Line-In adapter the best way to achieving my goal? Thanks in advance.

I have just sold my Sonos arc and want to by another sonos Soundbar later. Can I still use my Sub with my Play 5 or my Symfonisk speakers from Ikea? if yes how do i set it up?

I want to purchase sonos connect amplifier , I shall be setting up a WiFi connection with Internet. In the event Internet is down momentary on my WiFi,  will I still be able to play stored music on phone over the WiFi on sonos connect amp?Internet services is unreliable in my region, I don't want to get frustrated not been able to play music when Internet is down?

We are looking into upgrading to our first Sonos system, I’m looking at an ARC ultra along with a sub 4 and two Era 300s as the rear speakers. Primary use will be movies. We don’t want to do speaker stands and we don’t actually have a wall behind the couch for another 20 feet. Has anyone ceiling mounted the Era 300s? I read that in the settings you can invert them but does anyone have a similar setup and can make recommendations. Does it work well for surround sound / atmos experience?

I’m planning to purchase 3 pairs of Sonos 8 inch In-Ceiling Speakers (INCL8WW1).Can it be powered by one Sonos AMP or do I need more to use the speakers upto full capacity?

Ok here's what I have going on right now, I have a connect gen 2 with rca out ran to an amp powering my 2 outdoor speakers on my patio.  The new tv I put out there this year has terrible audio and wanted to have the option of playing the tv thru my outdoor speakers.  My connect has an optical input, I would assume I can just wire that in but I also don’t want to spend a lot of money running a good optical wire thru my attic how the wire would have to be run.   Am I better off using the hdmi arc out from the tv into an extractor that that did optical out, or that goes to rca out?  I’m trying to avoid the easy solution of spending 700$ on a Sonos amp since I pretty much have everything and can possibly make this work for under 100$. Also will I be able to easily switch between whatever I want to play in my app (which isn’t easy at all, but thats another issue) and the tv audio in the app? sorry I dip my toes at best in this world, and am not big in understanding audio.

Is a SONOS Connect Amp serial 1603 a Gen 2? I am pretty sure Gen 2 starts after June 2015 so March 2016 should be 99% Gen 2 right?

Does turntable require a wire to connect to Sonos because I was wondering the to keep the beauty of wireless and add a turntable to it does that is possible ?

Hello, I’ll try to be as detailed as possible so here we go.  I currently have and Arc, Sub and 2x One SL’s in my living room. With the arc connected to the TV and the sub and 2 One SL’s linked to the Arc in the same ‘Sonos room’ (living room), this is my surround sound setup which I also use to stream spotify through. I also have a Sonos move which is separate but can link with my Arc and play the same audio and can be carried around the house and into the garden for example. My question is this, if I was to connect a turntable (with a built in pre amp) to the Sonos amp and then to passive third party speakers in a separate room (my upstairs office) would I also be able to play this audio (from the turntable) simultaneously on the rest of my Sonos system (surround sound and move) wirelessly through the SONOS app? Or is this not possible?  I hope that makes sense, and help is appreciated.   

Anyone know anything about a Wireless Music System Zoneplayer ss, or the ZonePlayer ZP120?

Hey, any advice would be appreciated please :-)  I want to put ceiling speakers across 3 rooms.  room one is 60m2 room two is 39m2room 3 is 15m2 my question is two fold: how many speakers would you recommend in each room and how many amps would I need to fuel all speakers to potentially be playing same music at same time? Thanks in advance ! 

Hope someone can advise me pleasecan I connect two walled speakers with cable and also use a wireless speaker with a Sonos ampTIA

Recently, I wanted to change out the three Sonance amps for my whole home audio system, which i run with two sonos ports. I would have to purchase 4 sonos amps to make this happen. I started with one to check it out, and unfortunately there is not fixed volume limit.I understand I can adjust it in the app, but since there are other people in the home, it is much easier to use the volume control in each room. We have both fixed and app drivien speakers here so you can see the issue.I am hoping you add this feature to the amps so down the road I can switch to all Sonos Amps.For now, Ill have to repurchase Sonance amps until this feature is added.Does anyone know if this will be added to the software?
