I would like to connect my subwoofer to a Connect Amp's subwoofer output. However, the sub out on the amp has a low frequency cutoff at 80hz. My subwoofer has its own variable lowpass filter and I do not want to feed it a filtered signal. Is there any way with the Connect Amp to feed my subwoofer a full-range signal from sub out, to allow the subwoofer's low pass filter to do all the filtering?

Is there any way to delay the music to my play 5s or play 1s? I have my Sonos connect connected to a high-end receiver. I also have play ones and play fives in the same Sonos net. Trouble is I really like the sound from from my receiver, and I am unable to use the receiver to its fullest because there's a bad echo or delay from the processing of the receiver. Using fixed on the Sonos, and pure Direct on the receiver helps, but that only gives me two-channel stereo. I lose the subwoofer and the additional speakers. I know this is a problem for many people who have high-end receivers attached to a Connect. Is there any talk of adding a delay to the software?

Hi all........Can anyone help me out here please. I have multiple Sonos speakers around the house, some are wired at the router and all others are connected via wifi. I just added a Boost, and connected it to the router via ethernet. Does the Boost now take precedence over any other wired products connected to the router in order to create its own network?

I am producing music in iMAC and Logic and wish to stream the output to my Sonos system. I have tried the Audiobridge software but the delay makes it useless for me. Now I am wondering if a Sonos Connect could do the thing? I have not seen any specification of the delay time. Is it milli micro or seconds?

Just a quick question. Couldn't find the answer in the forum, yet. Is it possible to hook up a TV (4k), a turntable and a PS4 pro to the new to be introduced Sonos Amp in February 2019? My own research told me that I can link a turntable via the "white and red" port and a TV via HDMI ARC port. Then I'm left with my PS4. Currently, I have it connected to my TV. So in theory, this must transmit the audio signal via the TV through the HDMI ARC port to the Sonos Amp and then to my bookshelf speakers? Right? Or will this result in delays. Is this setup supported? I appreaciate your input, thanks!

We are a Sonos dealer and install many Sonos products on a weekly basis. Lately the optical cables that come with the Playbars have issues seating into the optical socket to the point that it just falls out. So we've been getting extra optical cables (non-Sonos) to resolve the issue, and they work fine. Any insight? Maybe a bad batch of cables were made.

Hi I have two Sonos play 5 (generation 1) and one sub. Now I have purchased a Samsung q7 series with one connect box. I would like to have TV sound for my speakers. How can I pair TV and sonos?

is the above possible to add a means of adding a cd port to a sonos system?

Hello, I want to connect 4 speakers BOSE 251 to one Sonos Connect:Amp (2014) Is this possible?, Is there any trouble?, I read mixed answers and I want to be sure that I will not have issues. Thanks! Bose 251 Specification:  Outdoor speakers  RMS rating – 10-200 watts per channel  Power consumption – 100 watts  Impedance – 4-8 ohms Sonos Connect:Amp Specification: Amplifier Class-D Rated Output 110W RMS (2x55W continuous average power into 8 ohms, THD+N

The big day is fast approaching for the new Sonos Amp official launch. Exciting times to be sure. As with any new product there are bound to be questions. The most obvious IMO will be how do the two amps compare from a feature standpoint. To help address a few of the surface questions the table below may help. Feel free to add your comments as they may be of value to others. Cheers!

I have 6 connect:amps in a rack. Each amp drives 4 clips speakers. The connect:amps were purchased in 2016. Are these amps made to be powered on all the time? I read some none verified 'chatter' that some people experienced failure after leaving their connect:amps on after two years. I'd like to keep mine powered on all the time, since the rack is in the basement and every time I want to listen to music, I must run down to the basement, turn the rack on and then wait for the app to connect to listen to music. At the same time, replacing 6 amps every several years because of 'burnout failure' is not feasible/realistic. Thank you in advance for all insights and advice.

I disagree with the assessment by Sonos that a headphone jack isn't desirable. Especially for the Play:1, because of where it might be used. I use mine on a bedside table and often cannot play it because family is around. It should have a headphone jack, either that or a Bluetooth connection so Bluetooth headphones could connect. Either one of these would make my Sonos speaker 1000x more useful. This all seems like simple common sense to me. It might not be for the larger speakers, but it is for the Play:1. In this regard I am quite disappointed in the Sonos experience. Sure I can use the headphone jack on my phone or ipad, but there are already too many devices and complications in life, and I don't want to get into explaining why going from one to another to another is just added stress and complication. I think you can figure it out.

Currently I have 2 speakers (8 ohm) plugged into one AMP. I have them just as bare wires into the spring loaded clips. I'd like to use banana plugs but it's impossible to fit 2 banana plugs into these clips. Can I wire 2 speakers into one banana plug and then plug that into the AMP? https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=9436#

I've searched for related setup scenarios on this forum - connecting to existing in-ceiling speakers - and I found this article below, but am finally giving in and posting my own setup question. I'm not really an audio guy and can use the help. I'm trying to figure out whether I need a Connect, a Connect:Amp, or the new Amp. My wife wants an easier way to play music in the whole house. We never use the Kenwood receiver anymore (leaving it on generated a lot of heat and wasted electricity, and we'd have to go manually turn it on). We pretty much only use streaming music these days - Pandora mostly, and use an Echo Dot to control it. This is the similar article I found: https://en.community.sonos.com/components-228996/ceiling-speakers-need-suggestions-on-best-set-up-6803568 Our current setup: Old Kenwood receiver Zone A goes to Family room, 2 sets of in-ceiling/wall speakers for front and surround sound. We actually never use it anymore. Zone B goes to this speaker select

So I purchased an audio technica lp120 and a sonos 5. The sound is extremely distorted when I play a record. In Sonos settings, I have gone into the line-in settings and tried the different source levels. No level has an effect on the distorted sound. On the TT, I have made sure that the switch on back is set to Line In which enables the pre-amp. Any ideas on what else I can try? I'm getting a little nervous as I have seen other posts with the same issue but they never have a solution. I don't think I have the ability to test the TT by itself. I don't have a stereo or powered speakers. thanks

I have a quick question in regards to the Onkyo receivers that now “works with Sonos”. I understand the model receivers that now work with Sonos (if you purchase a Connect), but I’m curious if you can actually use the different zones of the receiver as different Sonos zones (through the sole Connect)? For example if the receiver has its one Sonos Connect plugged into it and has the three zones hard wired as such: main zone is 5.1 living room, zone two is porch, and zone three is patio. Can you independently control each zone through the Sonos App? Or would you have to use the Sonos App to turn on music through the receiver and then go to the Onkyo app to control its zones and inputs (which would completely defeat the purpose of what I’m trying to achieve)? I currently have a fantastic Yamaha receiver but if purchasing just one Connect and the subsequent Onkyo receiver can control the three zones, I may just pull the trigger. Thanks in advance for the help.

I have two Play:5's. One connects to my turntable via line-in and the other connects to my TV also via line-in. I need to connect a CD/DVD player to play audio CDs. Right now, I need to turn on the TV in order to do that. Is there a better way of doing this? Would a Connect, Connect:Amp or the upcoming Amp do the job?

I'm trying to figure out the smoothest way of integrating my stereo system into a Sonos eco system and the Connect seems like the obvious solution. I also use a optical output from my TV to feed the system audio, so by including a Connect I'll have two optical sources I have to switch between. To avoid manually having to select a source I have found a optical switch with priority on the inputs, which would make the whole process of changing between my TV and the Connect automatic. The only thing that would prevent this from working is if the Connects optical output is always active, or if it takes a long time from turning of the music until it turns of the optical output. To sum it up: Does the Connects optical output switch off automatically? If yes, how long does that take from when you stop playing music?

Is it possible to connect my sonos play 5 with my Xbox One X? If possible in any way, please let me know how to do so.

I need some help. I have a Sonos Connect and until tonight I have always been able to adjust the EQ and volume with my IPhone. Now, the only sound I have comes through (1) Fixed or (2) Pass-Through.. with either of these 2 settings the EQ can’t be used, only through the (3) Variable setting. I select the variable setting and nothing transmits. Any suggestions? I’ve had no issues until tonight and I’m sure it’s operator error.

Will there be problems connecting a Connect Amp to powered Klipsch speakers, specifically the Klipsch R15PM?

Hi, I am thinking of purchasing 2x play 5s (to act as a stereo pair) with the sonos subwoofer and hardwire them to my Turntable. I know the typical way to connect this to the TT is line in on one play 5 and then connect (digitally) to the 2nd play 5 but I was looking to stay strictly analog as I want both play 5 speakers to play uncompressed audio. Is it possible to hardwire a pair of play 5s and the subwoofer to a TT? What would need to be added to this set-up to make this happen? Sidenote - if this is possible, once hardwired, would I be able to stream the uncompressed audio coming out of my 2x play 5s w/ sub throughout my household with my other sonos speakers? Really would appreciate the advice, thanks so much! Thanks, Andrew

What is the cost, and where do I send a Connect AMP for out-of-warranty service/repair? I live in Singapore and can't find any repair place in Singapore

So I have a Connect and I have a Pro-Ject Essential III turntable. I have the turntable plugged into the Connect, however I still hear no sound over the rest of my wireless Sonos system. Any ideas on what the problem is? Should I have bought a ConnectAmp instead? Thanks
