Trouble installing Connect Amp Gen1 to my system..

Thanks again….I typically use them separately….do I just connect the amp to the connect gen 1?

If both are Gen 1, just add the Connect:Amp to your system and swap it out for the current amplifier.  You can then use the Connect elsewhere.  No need to slave the Connect:Amp to the Connect unless the Connect:Amp is S1 and the Connect S2.

Perfect...thanks…!!

I’m not sure how this addresses your original title and question:

“Trouble installing Connect Amp Gen1 to my system”

...says not compatible refers me to Sonos S1 controller

...how do I add the Connect amp 1 to my system?...Thanks.!!!

You can’t use the Connect:Amp (Gen 1) until you add it to your system. It is S1 only and will require you to add it to an existing S1 system, or if you don’t have an S1 system yet, create a new S1 system for it. 

Kdowling..thanks...question….if I ethernet my sonos amp...and connect gen 1….my system totally recognizes them...in my app both are on ethernet...and life is fine….can I simply add the connect amp 1 as only an amp, with no ethernet….just as an amp…?...thank you.!!

No, your Connect:Amp (Gen 1) needs to be set up before you can use it. Either ethernet or wifi, but it needs to be set up and added to an S1 system in order to use it.

So it can not be set up in my system? Thanks for responding..

That really wasn’t what I said. You can have both S1 and S2 systems. I posted a link above to a sonos support article about doing that. You just can’t add a Connect:Amp (Gen 1) to an S2 system, if that is what you are wanting to do.

And once it’s set up, you can have it set to autoplay the line-in coming from the connect and not really need the S1 Controller after that. Maybe for volume though?

Thanks….I am simply trying to use the connect gen 1 as an amp only...not a part of the sonos system?…

I tried to find the link...would U mind re-sending it right here...Thank you very much…!!

What type of OS? Both should be available on the Android or iOS stores, and the Windows/Mac OS are still (for now) available on the Sonos website. As is the ‘web’ link, which is replacing the Windows/Mac versions.
