Output impedance of Port?

My apologies if this has already been answered (couldn’t see anything when searching though). What is the output impedance of the Port’s line output? I’d like to drive a fairly long cable (5m), so low impedance would be good..!

It’s not declared anywhere in the spec, and I very much doubt you’d get the information from Sonos Support. The output impedance is likely to be small, especially in comparison to the input impedance of the downstream device.

A cable of 5m is not that long anyhow, but make sure it has a decent cross-sectional area and is adequately screened. I’d be more concerned about noise than any tiny voltage loss.
