I’ve never had Sonos equipment, but am looking to simplify my setup and am very interested. What I’m looking at doing is getting a new TV and get rid of my huge TV stand that houses a standard 5.1 receiver setup. I’d like to instead wall mount the TV and a sound bar and get rid of the equipment that takes up floor space. What I’m planning is:
- 65” LG C1 OLED TV wall mounted
- Sonos Arc soundbar wall mounted
- Sonos Amp connected to my outdoor speakers (Klipsh AW-650’s)
- Probably not important for this question, but a small cabinet or wall mounted shelf to house my internet modem, router, and Sonos Amp.
My questions are:
- What would the recommended wiring/connections be for this setup? I’ve gathered that I’ll use the HDMI 2.1 connection between the TV and soundbar, but it’s unclear to me how the rest should be connected (although I’m hoping they’re just all connected wirelessly through my home network).
- What is my interface for controlling my outdoor speakers?
- Can I play the same music coming from the TV (usually play pandora or spotify via google assistant through TV) on soundbar and amp?
- Can I play different sources on the soundbar vs outdoor speakers easily?
- How easy/what steps to would I take to turn on/off my outdoor speakers with this setup?
- Any recommendations on what I could do for minimal floorspace for housing the modem, router, and amp and keep as clean (no visible wires) of a setup as possible? I considered making a custom shelf/cabinet with fans on both ends for airflow that the could house the components and allow the soundbar to sit on-top, but really don’t have time to take on that type of project.
Thanks!
