I have a AV closet that houses my Denon receiver which is connected to my projector, AppleTV, and a Sonos Port.  I also have 2 Sonos Amps. The Sonos Amps are connected to 2 different zones in my house that have in-ceiling speakers.  The Port is connected to the Receiver which controls Sonos in my theater room which also has in-ceiling speakers.  I would like to connect a turntable that is in my office to the in-ceiling speakers in my office and I would like to control this all via Sonos. Is this possible? 

I have a Ray connected to my PC via optical cable. After a bit of initial hassle, I changed my source and everything worked. Then, for no reason I can see, it stopped working and now nothing I do can get it to work again. As I said, I’m connected to the Ray via optical output on a Realtek Digital Output. I can see audio playing on my device, I’ve replaced the optical cable and tried every combination of setup. I’ve now run out of ideas and had to go back to my £25 soundbar that’s sitting on top of the now useless Ray.I’ve also been through this article methodically and now I’ve run out of ideas. Can anyone help me?  

I’m doing a small audio project for a local gym. They have all of the equipment they need to play music during their workouts. The way they have it set up to play is they have a Sonos Connect connected directly to a speaker system. They use their Samsung Galaxy Android tablet to control the music to play using the Sonos app. The Sonos Connect is wired to the router that provides access to the internet for them. They use either Spotify or Apple Music as the source of the music.When the internet goes down or gets spotty, they can’t play music and if that happens during a workout, it’s a big problem. What I’m planning to suggest to them is that we get some sort of local source of music they can use as a backup. Something like an external drive that can be connected to the Sonos Connect directly with some MP3s on it. Of course they wouldn’t have a big variety of music on their backup system and they’d have to buy the music that goes there, which are two downsides.Is this a good (or maybe t

Hopefully other Telus Wifi users will find this post helpful and maybe share my pain. Telus upgraded my router to the white Arcadyan router that looks like a trashcan. The router’s performance is good, but Sonos is unstable, especially when trying to Airplay content to the speakers. I understood that Sonos speakers use the 2.4GHz to play media content, but they also use the 5GHz band for operational tasks (inter-speaker communications). When logged into my router’s management GUI I can see the speakers are connected to my Wifi network. However, what I didn’t realize, and thankfully what a Sonos support call confirmed, was that the speakers were locked to the 5GHz network. When I reconnected my speakers to the new Telus network they initially connected to the network on the 5GHz band. The Arcadyan router broadcasts the same network name for both frequency bands, and it decides which device is assigned to which network band (2.4 or 5GHz). You can turn off specific bands in the admin inte

Seems pretty simple but I’m not finding the answer.I have a Sonos Amp(firmware current), I have 4 external speakers connected to it and work just fine. I want to add the an outdoor sub. I have a OSD Forza 10 10" Outdoor Subwoofer with 300W of Power and High-Impact Molded Enclosure, IP66-rated Weather-Resistant. I;m pretty certain the SONOS AMP doesn’t power a sub, I will need an external amp, so I purchased a Nobsound G2 PRO Hi-Fi 300W Subwoofer Power Amplifier Mono Channel Class D SUB Audio Amp. I used an RCA Y cable from the SONOS Amp to the Nobsound, but no Sub output. Any suggestions other than buying an $800 sonos sub? I want this one, it is outdoor and works great off my Onkyo stereo. Sad this is so complicated with Sonos.

I recently purchased a new Amp and wired speakers and ethernet wired to my network hub in the house.  My TV as well as other electronics are also attached to this network hub.  My TV is nowhere near this new AMP, so an HDMI connection is not practical. Occasionally it would be nice to broadcast the sound from the TV to speakers in other rooms.  Since everything is network connected (ethernet), is there a way to get TV sound from these speakers? thx 

We are wiring a new home with Sonos ceiling speakers in each room powered by Sonos Amps. We would like to have in the wall rotary volume knobs to control the volume for each Room/Amp. We have used Sonos products since Gen 1, this is our first whole home speaker setup and my wife prefers  to control the volume from a wall switch than going to the app each time. Thanks For Your Help & Have Great Day ! 

I am building a new home. In our great room we will have a frame TV, sonos amp and 6 architectural  in ceiling speakers. 2 of the speakers will be in the kitchen and I want to be able to control the volume of the kitchen speakers separately from the other 4. Sonos says that typically 4 speakers are used per amp but if you use Sonos Architectural speakers (8 ohms) u can use 6, but then they need to be wired in parallel. My question is: can I use a simple wall-mounted volume control dial to control the volume of the two kitchen speakers?

I just bought an Audio Technica LP 120 and am trying to connect it via Bluetooth to my existing Sonos setup which includes an ARC soundbar and 2 ERA 100’s. I’ve been through the manual and online and cannot seem to figure out how to do it. Thus far I’ve tried (many times) to pair the turntable with one of the ERA 100’s that is about 3 physical feet from the turntable.I would certainly appreciate any help that can be provided. Thank you in advance.

I have recently been having issues with very low audio levels from my Sonos Connect which plays through speakers via a tuner (at the highest volumes on Sonos and the tuner I could just barely hear music from my speakers).  After some trouble-shooting (including using the loop-through method suggested in support), I isolated the problem as a failure in the RCA ouput.I spent a fair amount of time with customer support technicians who ran diagnostics several times.  However, those diagnostics apparently did not reveal any problems (exactly what they do is unclear).  Eventually, they wanted me to do various cable re-arrangements etc.  As I had already connected, disconnected, swapped etc. multiple cables multiple times from various devices that was not going to yield any answers.  My conclusion is that there must be some circuity in the Connect that has failed and resulted in the RCA outputs not delivering meaningful signal.  The customer service people were not able to confirm that, but t

I want to connect two pair of Definitive Technologies AW6500 speakers to a Sonos Amp. According to the speaker installation instructions, each speaker presents a nominal impedance of 4-8 ohms. The Sonos Amp states it provides 125Watt continuous power sine wave, into an 8-ohm load, both channels driven. It further states that the Sonos Amp can power two pairs of 8-ohm nominal passive speakers wired in parallel. My question is can I safely wire each pair of the AW6500 speakers in parallel to the left and right channel of a Sonos Amp? If the speaker instructions indicated 8 ohms, I would have no question. However, stating 4-8 ohms has me questioning if this is safe. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Any recommendations on best placement for two Sonance wall mount architectural speakers? Will be connected to Sonos Amp (inside).  70% music 30% TV **Trying to figure out how to upload image

Hello there! 'm in the process of renovating my house (full ren of a single story house, down to studs, full framing accessible, still weeks away from any sheetrock / drywall going up). After weeks of reading and debating (largely with myself), I'm deciding to tap collective knowledge here...I choose Sonos for my simple audio system; I'm planning to have everything run to a network rack in the pantry, somewhat in central position in the house: Room 1: open space kitchen / living / dining: 900SF - new Sonos Amp ; thinking of using an in wall volume control so that I can have different volumes in the kitchen vs. the dining area Room 2: small bedroom / office 145 SF - old Sonos Connect:Amp (but S2 compatible) Room 3: main bedroom 190 SF - old Sonos Connect:Amp (but S2 compatible) Questions I've got: what are you recommendations in terms of in-ceiling speakers for each room? Model? Size? I'm open to spending a bit more for the Room 1 since most time will be spent there - max would be $

I recently ordered a replacement Outdoor speaker. The replacement only had two wire terminals. Then I checked and the existing had four.  It will not function with just the two but I do not see a product with four wire terminals? 

Hi all, I have the Sonos 2.1 amp and want to add a sub woofer to the Bose 251 outdoor environmental speakers.The Bose speakers are not wireless and on the back of the amp there is a single rca plug labeled sub. So do I need a passive or powered sub to connect to this amp? 🤔 Also any suggestions for an outdoor sub would be awesome!ThanksPhil

I have a simple home theatre setup consisting of a Beam Gen 2 and a pair of Symfonisk speakers which I’m happy with for TV and music streaming. Now I’m thinking of adding a pair of Era 100s connected to a turntable to replace my old analog HiFi setup.My question is how will the Era 100s interface with the existing setup? I’m planning to position the Era 100s as a traditional stereo pair in front of the listening position and was wondering if the turntable input to the Eras could also play through the Beam and the Symfonisk speakers simultaneously?Also, would the Era 100s be able to ‘join’ the existing home theatre setup not as surrounds (I’d still use the Symfonisk pair for surround sound), but as front left and right speakers either side of the Beam?Finally, when streaming music, can the Beam, Symfonisk and Era 100s work together simultaneously?Thanks in advance for any answers

Hi, Looking for some help with getting sound via my Roam connected to my turntable.  This is the setup I’m using: Rega Turntable > Pro-Ject Phono Box E BT 5 via RCA cables > Sonos Roam SL over bluetooth.. The issue I have is that it pairs successfully but I get no sound via the Roam.  I can confirm there is no issue with the pro-ject preamp, it works OK if I connect a different speaker to it via bluetooth.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Is it perhaps a codec issue? Thanks

Hello All, I have a BT Home Hub 2 and four BT Whole Home Discs. Sonos signal is poor upstairs and Wi-Fi is cluttered with to many devices. I want to introduce a Sonos Boost. Where should I put the device in the house and what should I connect it to please?

Hi!I have a Play:1 speaker that was connected to my record player a Connect Gen 2 which has stopped working. I’m on a budget and want to replace it, does it need to be a Gen 2 Connect or would a Gen 1 work? Thanks so much!

I can't turn off my Port status light. The problem started with an earlier software - maybe 15.4, and was corrected in 15.7. Now the problem is back with 15.7.1.  I've tried rebooting the Port, router and iPhone. Any suggestions?

Hi, I have bought a second hand Sonos S1 Bridge and I want to know how to I de-register the previous owenr with my details?   Is it even possible to get the bridge to work.   My existing bridge stop working and I purchased a second hand from FB. Any help to get the second-hand bridge to connect and work with my Play 5 Gen1 is much appreciated. Dennis 

Question can you add a Sonos sub to the Sonos amplifier?

If I am connecting a turntable to a pair of Era 100s for stereo, should I connect through line in on one and then use wireless to connect the other era 100 as stereo or should I connect through both Aux in’s? Also, when I am using the Era 100s to stream my turntable signal to other speakers in the house, do they need to be Sonos speakers or would other Airplay 2 speakers also work? Mostly curious about a HomePod mini.

Do grills come in wood-like colors for these speakers or only in white?
