Components & Architectural

I have a Sonos amp hardwired to two inside speakers. If I add a second amp to control two hardwired outside speakers will the app allow streaming the same music at the same time on both amps?

Want to set up record player with built in pre amp to my existing Sonos play 1s and beam. Is this possible to do with the connect only ?   

Hi, i’m using a Sonos Port supplying a pair of Devialet Phantom Reactors. My question is, since these speakers have a slightly longer processing time that can’t be avoided, is it possible, when in multiroom to have a facility on the app to introduce a delay slider on other sonos products so I can sync them, I have a stereo pair of moves and although they are very good, the delay makes it sound like i’m in a cave when using both port and moves.TIA

I have a Port connected to an Audiolab 6000A amp in a rack in my garage, connected to speakers in the house.   The amp always starts at a default volume level of 0db. At this level, the Port’s output is very low and I either have run the Sonos App at near full volume or go out to the garage and turn the amp up manually every-time it’s turned on.  I’ve set up the 12v trigger so I can turn it on via Sonos in the house and don’t think I should have to trudge out to the garage to manually turn the volume up every time… Am I missing a trick? What’s the difference between Variable and Pass-Though output on the Port? I thought Pass Through was more for AV set ups (mine is just for music) but would this work better? Would the Amp be compatible?

What comes with the Arc? We purchased open box at Best Buy at a discount however nothing in box except the soundbar.

I want to connect a pair of JBL control 60PS/T subwoofers to my Sonos system. they are not powered. Is it possible to connect the sub out on the Sonos amp to line in on another amp (not Sonos) to power the subs? I’m not too familiar with audio installations. Hope the question makes sense.  

HiI have two Fives and a Gen 3 Sub connected together in one room and all are working well.  I have just connected up a new Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB turntable to my RH Five and I can get audio through that speaker but cannot get the sound to come out of the LH Five, nor the Sub.  I have looked online with no success for an easy fix, can someone please help to get this audio to play on the “room” (three speakers) and not just this one?  I have the S2 App running on a fairly new iPhone.  Thank you in advance!Sharon 

I have a smart Samsung Tv and a sonosbeam bar and speakers.  Can I connect a CD player through the tv?  If I use a Sonos Port, do I need an amp or receiver?Jeff

I have an just acquired Sonos Port and want to play music from my old separates system through an old PioneerA400 amp to Sonos Speakers and Music through the Sonos Port to my none intelligent speakers but am struggling with the set up to be honest can anyone help 

I’ve recently got a sonos amp for my living room that has 6 in-ceiling speakers at 8 ohm. Can the amp power all three pair of speakers? I know sonos says maximum 4 speakers i parallel, and 6 if it is the sonos architectural. But as I can see those have the same ohm as mine, and the impedance should become the same?Thanks!

RESOLVED my Low Volume Issue -  My turntable has a Line Out Switch -  Once flipped on -  Clear Sound and Volume using the Port.  Running Turntable into PORT and using the App for Volume.  No need to even plug in Receiver anymore.

I got a turntable for christmas, and the first thing i did was set it up to check that everything worked, and it did. I connected it directly to my Sonos Play 5, and it automatically played to the Play 1 i also have. I the disconnected it and placed the turntable where i wanted it, and then moved my Play 5 about 1 meter due to the cable being short. I connected everything, but when i now play from my turntable the Play One keeps falling out like there is a bad connection between the Play 5 and 1. It works just fine if i play from Spotify, so i cant really understand why this is happening since it worked previously. Right now i just have to mute the play 1 speaker as it is impossible to listen to. I also have a Sonos Beam, and the same thing happens there. I have a fairly small living room, and didn’t move the Play 5 far at all, all devices are within 3-4 meters of each other. Any tips to fixing this would be greatly appreciated.  

Hello,   I just got a Sonos Port and connected it successfully to my existing HK 3490 receiver.  The last thing i’d like to set up is to power on the receiver automatically when the Port starts transmitting audio.  The receiver does not have any 12v trigger input but it does have a Remote IR input.  I was hoping (probably against any logic) that connecting the 12v trigger output on the Port to the Remote IR input on the HK would do the trick.  No luck.  Does anyone have any suggestions on workarounds or gizmos that would do the trick.  The only articles i’ve found online are describing the reverse scenario, i.e. triggering a 12v input from an IR signal. The only thing i found that might do the trick is a 12v - 230V Slave Power supply from a French company: https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/power-supply-kits/audiophonics-trigger-12v-230v-slave-power-supply-device-p-10661.html   Any thoughts? Thanks  

I have a: Yamaha RX-A1000 receiver Technics SL-1200MK3D turntable  Sonos Port Sonos One Sonos beam no wired speakers I can’t figure out how to get the turntable to play to my Sonos speakers.Do I need additional cables other than what came with the Port?Is the “digital out” and “12V” required? 

Can I use the connect to play my turntable (which has a preamp already) with my play 1 (2) and sub?

I have gone through the setup process which was cumbersome as the connect amp and speaker wires all home run to a closet downstairs.  So I got a 50’ ethernet cable and direct connected the connect Amp to the playbar in the family room below the TV.  I set up the surrounds and they worked.I unplugged the 50ft ethernet cable however the Playbar and the Connect Amp are still both hard wired connected to ethernet and the same router.  When I unplug the 50ft ethernet cable the surrounds turn off even though I set it up as instructed and both the playbar and the connect amp in the closet are hard wired to ethernet.I have done this from scratch 5 times to make sure I am not doing anything wrong  Certainly there has to be a solution other than having a 50 ft cord from the closet to the family roomAny suggestions on what to do to make these work as surrounds given my configuration?

Hey, I´d like help with confirming that the plan in my head is actually viable in reality aswell. I just picked up an old vinyl player and I want to use this together with my current and future Sonos speakers. I´m gonna buy a pre-amp for the vinyl player in order to get it to line level. I have 5 Symfonisk speakers and I´m looking to buy a Sonos Arc to pair with my TV. What I´d like to confirm is that I will be able to use the Vinyl player together with the Symfonisk and the Arc and that the Symfonisk will also work as rear speakers for the Arc together with the TV. Is that possible by only buying a Sonos Connect gen 1? A second question, do the Connect gen 1 work over Wifi or is it in need of a ethernet cable? Best regards & Thanks

Looking for some help. I have a turntable connected to a Yamaha amplifier. I’m trying to use a Sonos port to then connect this to the rest of my Sonos speakers. The Yamaha amp also has speakers connected to it (non-Sonos) that I’d also like the audio to play through at the same time. However when setting up in the same room as a Sonos arc there is a noticeable delay in the audio. I’ve decreased to the minimum audio delay but still noticeable. Can someone advise? There is no delay when all speakers are being used to stream audio bough Spotify, it only seems to be when using the turntable to play vinyl (which is the reason I bought the port in the first place!) ive attached an image of my amp. I currently have the ‘audio in’ from the port going into REC and the ‘audio out’ going into the PB. 

Wanted to know if you can use wireless headphones with a sonos port system? Bluetooth?

Has Sonos removed the ability to control an aftermarket sub and speakers with the amp. I know they took this feature away from the Mac desktop app. Now it looks like they took it out of the mobile app.Looks like you can no longer set the crossover between external sub and passive aftermarket speakers. Nor can you adjust the aftermarket sub level.I adjusted this just yesterday. Then this morning noticed that the subwoofer was very overpowering. I went to the mobile app to turn down the sub level and noticed any subwoofer and speaker adjustments were gone.

When I plug my optical audio into the receiver the sound doesn't come through. But when I used my Xbox as a receiver it worked just fine. I can not find a solution. 

I recently bought a Sonos subwoofer and im trying to get it to play with the Sonance ceiling speakers.  I have a Sonos amp and port.  Im having issues getting the subwoofer to integrate into this set up.  Is the Sonos subwoofer compatible with the Sonance speakers?

Dear all,I have an implemented sound environment containing Beam (connected to TV), Sub and several Ones. Everything worked just perfect until I decided to connect my vinyl player to my sound equipment. I purchased Amp specifically for that purpose expecting that it would be able to take vinyl as input and stream it to existing equipment as output. However, it was not possible to add Amp to existing sound group during the setup, so it was only possible s to set it up as separate equipment group with separate output speakers. Is it possible to implement scenario I described above? If yes, what should be done to implement it?

I’d like a nice stereo setup I can use with my tv as well as for streaming music and have settled on the Sonos Amp to act as the hub due to the compact size and it has all the connectivity I want.  I want to add on Sonos Ones in other rooms eventually. Now I really like the Wharfedale Denton 85s, but am slightly confused by all the different power ratings.  These speakers have a nominal impedance of 4ohms (min 3.8) and the manufacturers website recommends an amp of 20-120W.  The Sonos Amp is rated at 125w at 8ohms but that goes to 250w at 4ohms.  Would this be a problem?  Can an amp really have too much power for passive speakers?  Or will it just be overhead I’m not using? Any advice appreciated, cheersPete

Hello, I own a Sony - Bluetooth Stereo Turntable and I am using a Sonos Five with a (cheap) pre-amp to connect them to my Sonos system (Beam+2Ones+Sub) so I can get all my speakers working. Currently I am not happy at all with the sound because it sounds cheap. I think there should be a way of getting a nice sound from the turntable. I am thinking on the following: Buying the Sonos Amp and use it to connect the turntable to the Sonos system and probably get rid of the Sonos Five.  Upgrade my current preamp to a better one like Pluto 2 or Pro-Ject Phono Box, keep the Sonos Five for the Line-In but I am not sure if this will upgrade my sound as much as I want it. Any thoughts on this? I have the Sonos system and the Turntable+Sonos Five in the same big room.  Thank you all!
