Est-ce que je peux ajouter un sonos amp à mon sonos arc

Father in law gave me a nice vintage turntable so I ordered the Sonos Amp and received it with much excitement. B&W speakers are on the way but for now I don't have passive speakers which made trouble-shooting interesting... TT and phono stage to line-in on the Amp streaming to my Arc and one SLs in the other room and... uuuggh... a quiet, harsh, tinny sound with ZERO bass.So... after hours of fooling around I'm still at square one. In a nutshell this is what I've done:-Tested the turntable (phono stage has a separate headphone jack... sounds great)-Used other line-in sources to the Amp... my phone, cd player... all sound great.-I even hooked up an audio interface to the turntable and then to my Amp. It has a line-out so I was sure I was getting a line level signal. This also sounded great. There's obviously some ADC going on in there and this solved the issue... not sure how?As soon as I put the exact same same line-out from the phono stage back into my Amp directly I get the quie

Hello, I would like to connect the speakers of my Denon AVR home cinema system to my Sonos system via a Sonos Connect.When I connect my Sonos Connect to my amp, in analog, I can't get my speakers to work. Do you know what the ideal connection is?Many thanks in advance!

We have a large open living/kitchen area in our current new construction and I’m having a hard time figuring out what speakers I need and where they should be placed. The room is 29ft L x 25ft W x 32ft H

Hi, I have a turntable that I’m trying to connect to 2 Sonos Era 300 speakers and a Sonos Sub. One way to connect is use a RCA to 3.5 cable with direct connection using the Sonos in-line adapter to one of the Era 300 and stream to other Era 300 and sub.The 2nd method would be to use a Sonos port to connect the turntable and and then stream to Sonos speakers. The question is which will give the best vinyl sound quality? Using the port connection or direct rca and line-in method? Pls let me know. Thank You.

What I am writing here is not a question but simply an observation, and written with the hope that Sonos will take note.I use my Port with the variable analogue output, these are connected to a power amplifier, therefore I use the Ports equalizer and loudness function.(There are probably not many people who use their Port this way.)But after the update to version 15.4, my Port's sound signature has been changed again - again.The sound lacks warmth and musicality and it is very voice oriented and clinical sounding.That is, a sound image that you want to aim for with a soundbar that plays together with a subwoofer and not from a product like Port. And e.g. the bass control now only adjusts the very lowest bass, before it worked higher up in the bass frequency range.The loudness function has also changed.At the same time, it seems that the DSP is programmed to give more attack in the midrange sound. My experience is that Port's sound changes almost every time a new software update is rele

I just got a Sonos AMP too that I could hook up analog Bang and Olufsen speakers to my digital Sonos app and enjoy those speakers in a music room/ den in my house.  The AMP came without the blue sticker on the bottom so Chat person helped me find the 8 digit code to be able to hook the AMP to my system, but once I put in the code, it is not adding to my system.  When I read up on it, it says that if someone has put connected to a Wi-FI system, router internet, then that AMP has to be reset to factory reset.  I am worried Sonos send me an AMP sent back to them and that is why there was no sticker on the bottom and I am having trouble connecting the AMP to my system.  Can AMP be connect to digital speakers the way the drawings suggest?  Do you think I am right about this AMP being sent back to Sonos and then them sending it as a new AMP to me??

I’ve seen this thread a few times but I still haven’t found an answer.  I have a Technics turntable into a Cambridge Solo Preamp into the Line-in on my Sonos Amp.  Originally I had a cheap Pyle preamp and everything work fine until one day I started getting distortion so I upgraded my preamp to the Cambridge.  Distortion is still there.  I even ordered new RCA cables to see if that will fix it but I’m not convinced that’s the issue.  Any thoughts?

Hi, I have 2 x Play 5’s and a sub. If i try and turn the volume up or down quickly on either of the play 5’s, the sound goes off and you have to turn it back up really slowly or it goes off again. System is up to date, I've unplugged them and the router countless times and it still happens. It does it 75% of the time so is getting frustrating. Any ideas?  Cheers

Hi. My Sonos system consists of a Connect Amp wired up to non-Sonos speakers and a Play 1. Both have been working fine on the S2 app until a few weeks ago the app informed me that the Amp required a software update. The update didn’t work and I got a 1013 message. Since then I’ve tried all the different things suggested re. the 1013 message and spent an hour on the phone with Sonos trying to resolve it.I realise one possibility is that my Connect Amp is no longer supported by Sonos. However I don’t know this for sure - I’m not sure which “Gen” my Amp is. One of the things I tried, though, was to downgrade the Amp from S2 to S1. However when I did so the S1 app didn’t appear to be able to connect the Amp.I have now tried again with the S2 app. The system appears to recognise the Connect Amp. However now on my system the Connect is showing as “Not connected” but every time I try to resolve this all my app says is “All products seem available”. The Connect Amp is no longer showing as regi

Hello and thank you in advance for your input.The title says it all: Can I use one Sonos Amp to power 2 in ceiling architectural speakers playing in stereo for one room, then use the same amp to power 4 in wall architectural speakers. Each one will be placed in a different room: one in wall speaker per room. THX 🙏🏼 

Good evening all,I have spent the last two days searching through the web hoping to nail down the best way forward, but find myself more confused than when I started 😂We currently have a Playbar, 2x One’s and a Sub set up as a 5.1.We are doing a renovation and have the opportunity to wire in ceiling and/or wall speakers, and wanted to work out the best way of doing so, with a nod to not breaking the bank completely!KitchenWe will have a large kitchen space, probably 12m x 5m for round numbers.  Kitchen & island at one end, TV and sofa at the other.Thinking here is 1x Sonos Amp and 6x Sonance ceiling speakers.  That would deliver good sound everywhere in the kitchen (although no 5.1 etc) especially for music, but also would work for the TV.  Concern is that if the kids were watching TV and the adults were around the island, we’d have the TV blaring down on us.  Would an option here be to add an extra Amp and have that drive 2 ceiling (or wall?) Sonance speakers by the TV, and then

I have a Connect: Amp S2 and it drops connection every few days.  It’s about 10 feet from the Wifi access point.  I’ve rebooted it a few times.  Thanks for any help.

Hi, so I bought my first Sonos Amp for connecting my patio tv to two speakers. The speakers are wired to the utility room/ closet. The patio has two detected Ethernet wires behind the TV that also goes to the utility room/ closet. I am trying to send only audio from the TV through the Ethernet extender to the utility room/ closet to the Sonos Amp. I already connected my Sonos Amp to the speakers, and they are working great. It won’t be possible to run a long HDMI wire between the patio and the utility room/ closet.First, I tried to run optical from the TV to the extender and on the other side from the extender to the AMP through 1 RCA Male to 2 RCA Male Y Splitter Digital Stereo Audio Cable, but it didn’t work.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G5NQCK7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078Z6MC94/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Next, I tried to run an HDMI cable from the TV to the extender and on the other side fr

Part #’s used for repair, updating the 8 year old thread with the same nameMy ancient ZP100 no longer powered up, I found the great guide here by berrisford5, but some details where missing. The (2) fuses where blown, I bought them on Amazon, they are Slow-Blow 4A 250VAmazon Description: uxcell 20Pcs DIP Mounted Miniature Cylinder Slow Blow Micro Fuse T4A 4A 250V Red - They are $8.49 for 20 The TVS Diode (connects directly after transformer on power supply PCB) was also shorted, in the old thread it’s refered to as “CA48”, I found this TVS Diode on DigiKey, part # for it is “SMCJ48CA”, they are .65 each, bought 5, the shipping cost more..   awaiting the TVS diode to finish the repair. Hope this helps anyone with an ancient 2006 ZP100 Mitch

Seen rumors about this but just now I see on the Sons web site it is listed as “Last Chance”, so can we can some kind of official statement about the lifetime of the Boost? With the removal of SonosNet support from the newest hardware, it makes me sad, as home routers aren’t getting any smarter on average and SonosNet is still the best solution for any number of connectivity issues. 

I’m conflicted and I need some help, right now Best Buy has a pair of Sonance - MAG Series 2.0-Ch. Outdoor Streaming speaker and a Sonos Amp 2nd Gen. on sale for $1,000 while a pair of Sonos - Architectural 6-1/2" Passive 2-Way Outdoor Speakers are $875 and the amp another $700.  Can someone explain to me the difference between the Sonance - MAG Series 2.0-Ch. Outdoor Streaming speakers and the Sonos - Architectural 6-1/2" Passive 2-Way Outdoor Speakers.  Do they produce the same level of sound and clarity or is there a material difference between them.

New Sonos Port that is hardwired to the internet. The Port outputs to a Shure mixer that then outputs to a QSC 800V amp that's on a mechanical timer that shuts it off at 9pm and on at 10am. When playing music from the Sonos library or SiriusXm, when the amp turns on in the morning,  there is no music playing or even selected to be played. I have to select what to play and play it. Is there some kind of "sense" circuitry?

Hey all --- Interested in buying one of the Turntables on Sonos site to plug into my existing mutliroom Sonos System.Two questions:Which turntable do you reccomend on the site? Do these turntables require connection to an AMP or Port, etc or do they have their own AMP that allows it to connect to Sonos system without new wires?

I changed my router a year ago and Sonos has never worked properly since. I had to constantly re-connect the speakers and find the system over and over again. I found the support from Sonos non-existent. I have now got a new Router and went through ALL the steps to connect my four Sonos speakers last night. We enjoyed an evening of music on all of them and then, this morning, my Sonos App could not find the system and none of the speakers and now won’t connect with any of them. Basically, Sonos sucks. I’m switching to Alexa or just a simple Bluetooth speaker that I carry from room to room. Thanks for wasting thousands of $$ Sonos and providing no help at all.

Hi, looking for some advice. I’ve a Sonos system with three play 1s in various rooms, a home theatre surround sound with a beam, sun, and two play 1s. They are all on a sonosnet (one of the play 1s is wired). I recently added an Onyx turntable and experience drops even with latency set to high. I’ve an orbi wifi mesh router. I’ve no dropouts when using streaming services (eg Apple Music) on my Sonos system.  should I drop the sonosnet? Or get a bridge (but not sure the Victrola can connect to a Sonos network). Or do I need to upgrade my mesh network (it’s about 7 years old orbi system).  thanks!

Hello,I recently purchased the Project Debut Carbon Turntable for Sonos. I have noticed that the stylus does not return to starting position after the record is finished playing.  My cheap record players from high school days always did that, so I assumed this relatively much higher-end product would do the same. Is this a setting that can be changed?  

I only recently and reluctantly updated my Sonos component system to S2 which required purchasing a new Sonos Amp and replacing a Sonos-Connect.  I am now no longer able to update my Sonos music library with the Sonos app or Desktop controller.  Since 2006, my music library has been stored in a share file on a Buffalo Linkstation NAS drive which I last replaced a couple of years ago.  A senior Sonos advisor tried to help me with this problem and we checked the path designation and the NAS drive settings including SMB protocol, none of which were changed from the time I updated from S! to S2.  The senior Sonos advisor was unable to repair the issue and more concerning was that he was not aware of this issue.  The only workaround he explored with me was adding my backup Buffalo Linkstation folder to the music library setting and then deleting my regular NAS drive and then replacing it after which we deleted the backup.  Combined with my new iMac Ventura OS not being able to update deskto

I am using the coax digital output from a Port to drive an Arcam SA30 Amp.  Everything worked with the amp detecting a 44.1khz input.   After the firmware update today, the amp says the input is ‘Not Valid’ and nothing plays.   The analogue output from the Port still works OK.   Is this a botched upgrade?

Hi.  Following lengthy investigation, and three attempts by Sonos agents to diagnose, I was told by one yesterday that an update to my S1 Sonos Connect had increased its power requirements to above that which my old Airport Express can produce. As a result, the Connect cant simultaneously deliver audio through the RCA analogue outputs AND wirelessly to other Sonos products. It only works through one or the other. He said that currently, there is no way for users to revert the Connect to its pre-update, fully functioning state, but that Sonos may release an update to make this possible.Is there any info on when this might happen, or if there’s a work around, or if a new Airport Express would resolve this.Many thanksHenry
