Multi-Room Party Setup

Two questions really: 

 

  1. The main entertaining space in a small private party venue has a system with Arc, stereo subs and two One SL.  The max volume played through the app is not sufficient for the space.  Can the amp be incorporated into the system to increase overall sound? 
  2. There are adjacent spaces that would benefit from additional speakers - can additional stereo subs, One SL and hopefully amps be added to the adjacent spaces that can be turned on or off independently?

There is no way to ‘increase’ the volume put out by Sonos speakers that have built in amplification in them, other than turning up the volume for each ‘room’ they’re in. If you feel they are ‘anemic’ you probably need more speakers in that space. 

Remember, there is a max in a Sonos system of 32 speakers.

it really seems like Sonos is not the option for you, you seem to be looking for more of a public address system with more speakers. 

That’s what I’m coming to realize as well.  It’s fine for four or five people watching a movie but really not a good solution for a big space with a lot of people in it.

Probably why their marketing is for ‘whole home audio’ and not ‘whole venue audio’.

Fair enough.  It’s a small private venue and the PA I had in place last month was dated so I was exploring this.  Was hoping that this could work out and be an easy to manage intelligent solution but I guess it is what it is thanks for the help guys.

 

Anyone want to buy some gently used Sonos crap? lol

I completely understand the desire, but at its core, it feels like Sonos doesn’t fit the bill. YMMV, sound is always a personal thing.
