Can I use Beam as purely wired speaker in surround setup?

Have a Sonos Beam and Sub that I used in a second home. Consolidating homes...can I use the Beam (and maybe the sub) as a wired speaker in my current surround setup? Is it as simple as Ethernet to xlr adapter? All my other speakers are powered and I am looking to use the Beam as either a front center channel or rear surround. System is a 5.1.2 Atmos controlled by Monolith HTP-1.

Appreciate any advice and direction...thx!

Most definitely not. 

Beam can’t be used in conjunction with a third party AVR, and certainly not as a dumb speaker.

Thx so much. Saved me much time and potential frustration.
