6 x Sonance VP60R’s to a single Sonos Amp


Hi all,

as title says really.  I’m currently in the process of a kitchen renovation and trying to understand whether or not I can wire 6 Sonance VP60Rs to a single Sonos amp ? 
 

All I can seem to find is the following 

“The Sonos Amp is designed to reliably power up to three pairs (six total) of Sonos Architectural by Sonance speakers (INCLGWW1) when wired in parallel”


I do have a second amp but was planning on using that exclusively for a pair of outdoor speakers.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi ​@jaytay68 

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

To expand upon @Airgetlam’s answer a little, if the speakers are not part of the Architectural line, then only 4 speakers are supported. I do believe, however, that Sonance sell some speaker sets along with a Sonos Amp - if your speakers were part of such a set, then they will likely be fine.

I hope this helps.

Are these Sonance speakers part of the Architectural line, and labeled as such? What does the Sonance website say?

Is it possible to have two of the six speakers wiring run through a volume knob and then run to the Sonos amp?  I assume yes since all the knobs really do is cut off some of the power to the speaker.  That way the four other speakers could be in a living room and the other two (6 total) can wire through volume knobs and then to amp with other wires

Hi ​@Billycanfly 

Is it possible? Sure.

Is it a supported configuration? No, I don’t think so.

Will it work? Probably, yes.

If the Amp ever reduces the volume to 15%, however, it is doing so to protect itself from overloading - if this ever happens, I’d recommend removing the volume control from the equation.

I hope this helps.
