Sonos for balcony (Base vs. Bar vs. Other)

Hi,

I'd like to connect Sonos to my setup box (optical/coaxial) on my balcony.

Which speaker is most suitable for outdoor listening?

Thanks.

Only Playbase and playbar have optical input.

Play:5 has analog input.

Thanks.

How will it sound outdoor (balcony)?

They would all sound terrific. Playbar isnt considered humidity resistant but I have seen multiple people that had them protected outdoor for years.

Play:5 is considered humidity resistant but it’s analog input (and will have 70ms delay lip sync wise that many including myself don’t notice).

You can buy a connect and buy 1 or 2 humidity resistant active speakers of your choice for outdoor

Thanks.

What do you mean?

Basically, buy non-Sonos weatherproof speakers and the Sonos Connect will allow them to effectively become Sonos speakers.

Thanks,

How do I connect the Sonos to the non-sonos weatherproof?

Plug it in via an amp (if it doesn’t have one on board). It has analogue and digital inputs. I don’t have one myself, but looks straightforward. Probably easier for you to take a look at the product page: https://www.sonos.com/en-gb/shop/connect.html

I don’t like the idea of connect to non-Sonos

If I'll use Sonos speaker on my balcony, which one to choose playbase or playbar?

Thanks

All dependent on if you want on wall (playbar) or under a tv on counter (playbase)
