Hi, I have a gen 2 play 5 and am considering buying a second speaker to make a stereo pair. The Play 5 doesn’t seem to be on sale anymore, so I am wondering if I could pair my existing speaker with the new 5? Thanks.
Hey there! Curious which source level other people have chosen for their turntable set up. I’m using a Technics 1210 mk2 with a Rolls VP29 preamp into a Sonos Amp and usually hover around 2 or 3.
Apologies if this is a basic question. Is it possible to output from sonos amp’s banana to mini jack? Are there adapters for this and how to search for them (cables plus adapters)? Thanks in advance
This is my setup:In my living room I have four wired speakers, have just purchased a new soundbar and sub, and am looking for a new receiver. In my kitchen and on my back patio, I have four wired speakers that are connected to a Sonos Connect. I stream Apple Music through the Connect and can play the same music inside and out at the same time. I want to wirelessly pair the new receiver I am about to purchase to the Connect so I can stream music in both areas at the same time. I’m considering a Denon receiver but haven’t made a decision yet. I’m just not 100% sure how to make this happen, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I have a pair of floorstanders that I’d like use in new house but cannot run speaker cable to inconspicuously! There are power outlets already at each location of the floorstandrrs, can I use individual amps , 1 wired to the left flloostander and the other wired to the right floor stander to created a stereo pair- by grouping amps ??? Or by some other manic!
I have 2 Sonos 1s and a sonos amp powering 2 Cerwin Vega XSL-12s. Can I add a passive equalizer between the Sonos amp and the XLS-12s? My old receiver had treble high and mid as well as bass low and mid controls that gave my CVs a real nice thump. I am not able to get that out of just the amp.
Hello,my current set-up is as follows: room1 - air beam & sub woofer, room 2 - play 3, room 3 - play 5.In room 1 air beam is connected to TV. I can easily play all my digital music anywhere in the house from the app. But I have a CD player in room 1 and would like to play CD’s. Question: Do I need Sonos Connect or Sonos Amp. Furthermore, if I were to play vinyl I assume I would need the Amp. Thanks
Hi, just bought the Sonos Amp but want to run 2 x speakers for turntable and 2 x speakers outside. Both speakers 8 ohms, any recommendations on how to isolate just say the outside speakers or ab switch. TIA
Excuse the perhaps silly question but I’m stumped. If I have the Sonos Amp, and the Rega Planar P1 turntable (which has no preamp), how can I get them working with my Sonos Five to play my records? Any advice is massively appreciated! Thank you.
Hi,I have an old Pioneer PL12D turntable with no pre amp. It currently connects to my hi fi system through the phono in of a Rotel amp which also has tape in and out sockets. Can I use the existing amp to connect to a Sonos port rather than buy a separate pre-amp?
I used my 30% S1 discount for a Sonos Port and used a gen 1 Play 5. Decided to return the Port, and did so. Problem is, now my Sonos system shows the Port as “offline” and the Play 5 status as “Upgraded”. Do you lose the discount after a return? I would like to get a Amp, but missing out on the discount makes it a tough s ell
I would iike to use my revel M106 speakers with the sonos amp. It is my understanding that I can’t use trueplay with non sonos speakers (someone correct me if I’m wrong). My question is using the sonos amp with my speakers and adding the sonos sub. Can I use trueplay in this scenario?Thanks
It is possible to add a sub wirelees non sonos to a sonos system with a play five?
HiJust bought a Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB to go with my Sonos in the house.I plugged it into my Play5 and it sounds pretty good but I get a low boom distortion at higher volume.The volume on the line in is at max and I’ve checked the connections.Is this showing the limits of the pre amp on the Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB? If so can I improve the sound using another stand alone pre- amp?Many thanks in advanceNNW64
hi guys can i add a new port to replace a faulty connect in an existing S1 system?
Hi I have a Turntable and a CD player which I want to connect to a Sonos port, I also have a pre amp for TT, can’t find way to get to work help please
What happens if you use a passive speaker with the Port or old Connect device? Is there no sound, or just weak sound?
I was interested in hooking up a turntable to my Sonos system. But I can’t see what is different about the “Sonos edition” Pro-Ject turntables from what I could buy elsewhere as a standard Pro-Ject turntable (including the upgraded EVO version of the Debut Carbon). At first, I thought that the Sonos versions would have the built in electronics to broadcast directly to Sonos speakers. But all the Sonos content I read seems to indicate that the turntable stills needs a wired connection to a Sonos speaker, Connect, or Amp. And there isn’t any documentation listed for the Sonos edition turntables when I go to the product guides page.So my question: What’s to gain by buying a Sonos edition turntable vs. buying a Pro-Ject elsewhere?
I want to add a turntable to my Sonos setup. I have a sub, playbar and Sonos ones in the room I want to add the turntable to. What do I need to connect a deck to this setup? A Sonos Port or Connect or Connect amp? Thanks in advance
HiI already have a turntable connected to my new Sonos Amp. But want to know if there is a way to also connect a second item, for example a CD player?Thanks in advanceCristof
HI community, I have read that 4 speakers, each at 4 Ohms, put in parallel in Sonos Amp is flat out not possible. Even 6 ohms each would not be possible. The requirement is 8 ohms, so the total net load is at a minimum 4 Ohms. But all of the discussions are for parallel speaker configurations. What about 2 speakers, 4 ohms each, connected in series on each channel? I am not an audiophile, and not sure what that would do to (a) the sonos amp and (b) general listening quality.
I have an older TV that does not support HDMI ARC, but does have HDMI ports. Does the Sonos AMP include the optical audio adapter or does this need to be purchased separately?// AMP user guidehttps://www.sonos.com/support/en-us/sonos-user-guide/index.html#t=sonos-user-guide%2Famp%2Famp.htm// Sonos audio adapterhttps://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/optical-audio-adapter.html
My Sonos connect was working fine, then just stopped (lost connection on SONOS) ethernet lights were solid green/ amber. Disconnected and switched off and on, white light flashed but system couldn’t recognise its existence. Switched off / on again but this time no white light. This is now how it appears. Has it finally packed up?
Hi all,I have recently purchased a Sonos Connect Amp to power bathroom ceiling speakers. As I only need one speaker in the bathroom, I have decided to run the second channel to another single speaker in an adjoining bathroom. I understand I won’t be able to play music to each bathroom separately but I’m wondering how I wire these speakers so that each single speaker plays both L and R channels (Dual mono is what I think it’s called but only available on newest Sonos Amp, not the connect)Ideally I’d still want to be able to pan audio entirely to just the one speaker if I had to. I just need the amp to output both L and R channels through the single output.Any help would be appreciatedCheers
Hey I have a Denon AVR-S750h Receiver. I wanted to know if I could connect the Sonos In Ceiling speakers to the receiver directly without having to purchase the amp or the sonos connect?
