We’re excited to announce our new 8-channel amplifier, Amp Multi.

Built for professional installation, Amp Multi provides unmatched multi-zone flexibility. Our goal was to maximize power output while minimizing the energy footprint. Using PFFB and GaN technology, Amp Multi delivers 125W per channel but consumes less than 5.5W when idle (with WiFi disabled).

It's all about giving professionals more flexibility while keeping the system approachable for the people who live with it every day. 


Available through your local dealer. Check out the full details here.

    Hmmm.. I see this having the potential as trickle-down tech for consumers in some fashion… I hope 🤞

    ATMOS support?

    The image shows 24 speakers. I guess they are the SONANCE speakers.

      I have a few questions. 

      Is it 8 Ohm stable only or can I put a pair of regular speakers going down to 4 Ohm’s?

      Since no HDMI, will we be able to set up as rears for 4.1 with an ARC, Beam, or Amp?

      Can it only do 1 Sub pairing or can we do 2 Subs’ per zone and/or even if it was just one of the zones?

      Can I use the physical sub out and a wireless sub for the same zone?

      Will it be able to use as Atmos areas in a zone?

      I think that is all. I have looked at all the information and watched the video s released.

      No HDMI and no Atmos. This is clearly a product for pro installers only. Not very useful for most of the current user base.

      We have seen a few posts from folks replacing other brand central audio systems as well as wanting to update older multiple amplifier Sonos systems.

      My biggest concern would be the Sonos Sub support, the 5 gHz Sonosnet link might lack the range to reach some rooms. Didn't read the full manual.but hopefully there is a wired Sonos Sub option.

      Since this a multizone product, can this be used with other Sonos speakers that are zone compatible in some way to create zones?

      Along the same line as the above question, can 2  or more Amp Multi’s be used to create various combinations of zones?  For example, can Amp1:Output 1 be ‘bonded’ to Amp2: Output 1 to form a single zone?

      Any possibility that the ability to manually tune the Amp Multi be ported over to the original amp or other Sonos speakers?  (probably can’t answer that one).

       

      With Sonos 32 device limit, does this count as a single device or does it count as 4 (since it potentially has 4 zones)?  Does the device hold a single IP address?

      The device has analog and USB inputs.  Does the USB input require an analog dongle like other Sonos speakers? if it is digital only, is there certain formats that are supported (not sure if that’s a good question)?  Can these inputs be assigned/shared to other Amp multis or speakers in your system?

      I can only answer the device limit. It takes up however many zones you make it. So if you you all 8ch for 1 zone it takes up only 1 device, if you split it then it would take up two and so on. I was on the release webinar and that was one of the questions that was answered. It was pre recorded so I didn’t get my questions answered.

        Thank you, and that makes some sense.  I was going to ask if the zones can be reconfigured rather quickly...but I can’t think of a good use case for that, which couldn’t be better solved via grouping.
