New to Sonos and just want to confirm if I can use 1 amp or need 2?
Looking to setup a 5.1 with soundbar/amp and 2 ceiling speakers in living room. Then in kitchen/dining room use 4 ceiling speakers.
From what I read you can connect up to 6 ceiling speakers to 1 amp. Not looking to use both systems at same time, but can I utilize the 5.1 and then the 4 other speakers separately with 1 amp?
Hope this makes sense.
thank you,
David
A single Amp acts as one zone, meaning all speakers wired to a single Amp will play the same content at the same volume. If you want the 5.1 setup to be a separate zone as the four in-ceiling speakers, you will need two Amps - one Amp to power the two rear surround speakers in the living room and one Amp to power the four speakers in the kitchen/dining room.
FYI… six speakers can be powered by one Amp only if the speakers are Sonos Architectural by Sonance speakers. If they are another brand/model, you can only power up to four speakers with one Amp.
