What would I need for the following home sound setup?

Hello all, So I’m looking into installing a sound system in some areas of my house, and I was looking into SONOS because I was told they’re simple to install, and they all connect to each other. So my question is, what would I need to install the following in my house and get it all working together: Living Room = 4 Ceiling speakers.Kitchen = 2 Ceiling Speakers.Outside area = 2 Speakers. That’s it, and I’m guessing a Sub for the Living Room area? Could anyone help me on what I would need apart from the speakers and the sub? How many Amps and anything else to connect them all together or individual zones? Thank you.

combine sonos 1 and sonos 2? And how to connect bluetooth headphones to either?

I have two play 1 and one play 5 - all gen 1, and a bridge (gen 1).  I see no need to combine them with a sonos 2 on the same system, but I’d like to connect sonos to bluetooth headphones as a gift. I don’t think there is a way to do that with sonos gen 1. So buy a sonos 2, and use it in the same house, for this purpose? I know I could use a music streaming service right off the phone for this person, but I’m sure he wouldn’t want to run down his phone. thanks -

Sonos Port connect Denon RCD-N7

Hi,New to Sonos and just running this by the community to confirm understanding of how this would work before purchasing the Sonos Port. Have recently purchased a Sonos Beam  for a new television and thinking to extend later throughout the house with other Sonos speakers.Have existing Denon RCD-N7 (aka CEOL-N7) with speakers and record player attached to AUX-IN-1 inputs and wanting to play both CD’s and records through to the Sonos. Am presuming Sonos Port would do the trick?Denon RCD-N7 AUX-OUT > Sonos Port InSonos Port out > Denon RCD-N7 AUX-IN-2So when playing either vinyl or CD have the Denon set to the appropriate source (CD or AUX-1) and should play through the speakers connected to the Denon and also Sonos Beam / any additional Sonos speakers?If streaming music through Sonos and have the Denon source set to AUX-2 then should get sound through the Denon speakers?If my understanding is totally wrong then please let me know what would work best for this situation.Thanks in ad

Sonos Sub + Sonos Amp

I am in the initial planning stages of a system for a new home currently under construction - more on that later.  Right now, quick question - If I have a Sonos Amp powering 4 ceiling speakers, can I wirelessly connect a Sonos Sub to that as well?  So my Amp powers the 4 ceiling speakers and the powered Sub connects wirelessly and works as well? Or  - would it need to be wired to the Amp RCA? Or - Am I better powering 2 ceiling speakers and a passive dual-voice coil sub in this zone? I am concerned that ceiling speakers alone will not give the depth and bass that a sub will add. I am brand new to Sonos - don’t own anything yet, but not new to home audio.

Sonos Five stand mount question

I'm thinking about buying a pair of Fives for a stereo pair. I would like to be able to move them occasionally to different rooms and was wondering if they mechanically couple to the stands or do they merely rest on top of them. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

G&C sound deck

Hi everyone, I am looking to connect an old G&C sound deck music centre to my Sonos system. Currently I don’t have any speakers for it. I am wondering what the best/easiest way is to do it? Can I just connect a Sonos Five to the headphone jack at the front or will I need a 2 pin din to RCA adaptor to connect to a Sonos port and then speakers that way?

New construction - whole house Sonos system

Hi everyone Im looking to get a sonos system for my whole house I am building.  Well at least for 90% of it.  Assuming budget really isnt an issue what you recommend for the following setup wants:I can wire ethernet to any spot as walls are completely open or I have many wired access points going in for WiFi.  My goal is to have the option of playing all zones with same music for parties or separate zones for daily kids/life etc.  Kitchen speakers Dining Speakers  Main living area( 14 ft ceilings and very large room) outdoor patio around pool as separate zone from covered patio.  garage Master bedroom surround system My main living area is probably going to have a 7.2 or 9.2 separate stand alone system for movies as I dont think the sonos is the best fir got dolby atmos given the large volume of ceilings/space.  But ill was thinking to put 2 or 4 sonos ceilings speakers in also to allow for the continuous and ease of use for large parties  Any suggestions on the this set up?

Sonos + headphone amps - any experience?

The one thing missing from my Sonos world is the ability to listen to my stuff on headphones. Has anybody got experience of using Port + audiophile headphone amp + headphones? Any recommendations? I listen mostly to music stored on my NAS, not so much streamed. Or would I be better looking for a different (ie non-Sonos) solution, e.g. an audiophile DAC + headphones?

Starting a buildable multi-room set up

Hey everyone,I’m updating to better, wireless multi-room sound and can’t quite find consistent answers. I need to build this set up over time for financial reasons, so I’m looking for pieces that can incorporate into a system, including eventually wireless speakers that can move outside (they don’t need to reside there permanently).I think I’d like to either start with one or two Symphonisk book shelf speakers or SL One speakers and also the Move speaker so I could have them wirelessly connect all together and move from room to room and take the Move the outside.Can the Move be incorprated into a Symphonisk or SL One set up? If it cannot, how can I utilize Sonos products in an indoor/outdoor set up? Thanks for any feedback, sorry if this a often repeated question.

own 2x1’s + one play:3, what do you recommend?

Hi guys I own an old play:3 and two ones. The ones are in the living room as stereo pair and the sonos 3 is in the kitchen. I don’t want voice control. I have an oled tv that may benefit from a soundbar. Right now I’m somewhat confused on how to expand the system. The main thing for me is being able to listen to music on Spotify but get that rich and crisp sound I sometimes hear in bars or restaurants even at low volume. Can’t describe it any better.  Should I:1. fill up my living room with sonos ones everywhere? With one sub for bass? this seems to be the closest to the setup I see in bars and restaurants  get one arc / beam and use the ones as back speakers? How would this setup perform playing music?  add a second hand play3 and a sub for bass? Maybe use the two ones as tweeters? Wouldn’t I run into legacy problems with the 3? 4. Just get two fives and use the ones elsewhere in the house (bathroom, attic)?your input is greatly appreciated

Connecting Turntable to Sonos system

Hi AllI am shortly joining the world of Sonos (Arc soundbar, Sub and a couple of Ones as rear speakers) but an unsure about the best way to connect my turntable to the system. I want to use the speakers detailed above to play my music through and don’t want separate speakers for the turntable (which I have currently). The turntable has a built-in pre amp. What’s the best way to connect this to the Sonos system - I’ve seen the Amp and Port, would one of these be the way to do it?Thank you!

surround system setup

I currently have:2x Sonos One Sub Amp, which powers 2 non-Sonos wall speakers. This is plugged into the TV through the HDMI eARCI tried to setup a surround system with the 2 Sonos Ones as the rear speakers but it wouldn’t let me.If I added one of the sound bars (Arc/Beam)would I now be able to use my Sonos Ones as rear speakers in a 5.1 system? will the sound bar and Amp (+ wall speakers) be able to play together through wireless Sonos magic? Or will I have to get an eARC splitter or something and plug both of them into the TV?thanks in advance (edit: wow time to change my username I guess. Was peeved with all the old speakers going obsolete but I’ve been happy with Sonos lately)

Surround sound shopping list for projector + Chromecast 4k + Sonos

Hi everyone -I am looking to refine our home theater setup with a full Sonos surround sound system, and I could use a bit of advice.  I’ve seen pieces of this in other threads, but hoping someone can validate my plan here before I start ordering equipment.Currently I have a BENQ TK800 projector with a Chromecast with Google TV, wired to the line-in on a Sonos Connect feeding to our vintage Macintosh stereo receiver.  I want to go full surround and as wireless as possible. I also have a sentimental attachment to the Macintosh.Here’s what I am thinking:Chromecast 4k plugged into HDFury Arcana Arcana eARC → Sonos Amp Sonos Amp Speakers → Macintosh AUX inputs (stereo phantom center) Arcana HDMI → Wireless HDMI transmitter (OREI WUHD-PRO100-K ?) Wireless HDMI receiver → BENQ projector + Sonos Sub + 2x Sonos One SL for surroundsHere are my questions:First, I assume I can’t use my old Connect as any part of this and need to replace it with the Amp, right? Will this setup give me Atmos or just

What SONOS setup with Ceiling Speakers?

Hi all,First post and I am considering a new SONOS setup :-)I recently moved into my flat which already has two ceiling speakers, one front and one back.What SONOS setup would you recommend to take advantage of these and provide the best home cinema experience? Please consider I have a small room and not looking to go 5.1 at this stage, so any setup will be focused around the TV. I was considering whether the Beam + Sub + Amp + existing ceiling speakers made sense.Thanks,Jag.

Connect Gen 2

Hi Sonos comm ,    I have a Sonos 2 app with various speakers and Sonos boost, so all reasonably modern.    Looking to use a pioneer DJ 200 mixing deck , it would appear I could plug this into a Sonos Connect gen 2 (not 1 ) to incorporate my existing Sonos speakers ?  Want to try and keep the cost down as I know there is now the port etc , just looking at a short cut with compatible Sonos products as I can buy the connect fairly cheap (£200) off eBay ? Just checking b4 i buy the connect gen 2 , would seem fairly straight 4wd , this is for home fun only , not professional,  thanks peeps 🙏🙏 Tom

Sonos Connect upgrade?

Hi! - I have a Sonos system (2 Play 1’s as surrounds, Playbar) and also a Connect which I use to link my turntable to the system. Since the Connect is a legacy item, I’ve looked to shield from S2 updates. However, it is getting more and more difficult to avoid e.g. today both Play 1’s went ‘missing’ and the app tells me I have to update to S2 to sort it out.So, 2 questions:Is there any way I can ‘find’ those missing speakers whilst continuing to use S1, or If I have to bite the bullet, what is the best upgrade option to replace my Connect... Port? Amp?Any help, much appreciated - thanks
