A:AnswerI am running my ConnectAmp without hard wiring (other than cables to my two speakers) and have no problems. It connects wirelessly to a $50 SONOS Bridge unit that sits next to our existing home router in a different room. The Bridge is connected to our router by a short Ethernet cable. Supposedly we can even operate without the Bridge, just connecting to a home wireless router, but I have heard that the Bridge helps maintain a strong wireless connection and is less affected by other wireless activity your router might be doing. I decided that the $50 was good insurance.
A:AnswerYou can't drive more then two sets of speakers off this (assuming speakers are 8 ohm). If you want to drive a lot of speakers, you either get Sonos Amp per set of speakers (or room) and run them as group (giving you same music, same time in all rooms), or get the Sonos Connect, and a amplifier that can drive a lot of speakers all at once. The only issue with Sonos Connect driving a lot of speakers at once is, the volume control won't work the best in the Sonos app. It'll change volume of all the speakers at once. If you have a Sonos connect or amp set up per room, you'll find volume control is easier.
A:AnswerYes it can, refer to this link for more info. https://sonos.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2248/~/setting-up-connect%3Aamp-as-surround-rears
A:AnswerYes once you have one Sonos connected they pair up and all sonos that you have in your house will work from the Alexa app on the Sonos one so feel free to try it make sure you go and have Alexa find devices connect Alexa to the Sonos and you will be able to use it with all of them in your house
A:AnswerYes, that is what we have. The Sonos Amp controls our in-ceiling speakers throughout the house. The speakers we had professionally installed, there are 6 rooms that have a pair of speakers and we connected 4 wires to the sonos amp. The set up is simple with the app. Hope this answered your question. Thank you!
A:AnswerYes. CONNECT:AMP does not send wireless audio to speakers. There are a couple of ways around this, but they cost more and the results would probably be worse. The simplest way would be to purchase wireless outdoor speakers. Use the SONOS CONNECT (not the CONNECT:AMP) to connect to your SONOS/WiFi network. The output from the CONNECT would have to go into a Bluetooth sending unit to connect to your outdoor speakers.
A:AnswerYes you can. Just get the speaker and complete the setup. You can pair everything so they are playing the same thing or you can play something different. I have the PlAY:1 which sounds great.
A:AnswerYou can buy an adapter to go from the RCA connectors on the back of a turntable to a 3.5 line in jack and plug it into the line in hole in the back of the Sonos amp.... Unless its a turntable that has some other type of cable configuration. The goal is to get the right adapter to 3.5 line in...
