“I have a large retail store, I want to put a few speakers up for some background noise. Would I just need to purchase 4 or 5 of these -and just these- or do I need to purchase some kind of central unit (receiver?) They will be stretched about 50ft apart.”

I would start with this, but if you run into any issues with drop outs you can always add the Sonos Boost ($99) which will make your signal even stronger.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You do not need a central unit. These can be used as single, or they can be set up for stereo or as a group. You could start with a few, and see how it sounds. It is easy to add extras as the software recognizes the new speakers and allows you to add them to a group, or create a new group which can play the same or different music.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In a arge area u would use 4. I have 2 in my kitchen. 2 in family room and 1 in garage. No receiver needed. Just download the app and set up speaker. Easy to use and great sound.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Go with a constant voltage system and add the Sonos Port to it instead. In using multiple Sonos speakers across a large retail space you may experience drop-outs and/or connectivity issues which can make the system frustrating to use. if you end up going this route you may need to add a Boost or two to aide in extending the mesh network across all speakers.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You don't need a receiver, just need to have wired or wireless hook-up to stream music.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you have a good WiFi(2.4ghz 802.11bg) router and strong signal where you want to place the speakers, these will work just fine. If your WiFi router doesn’t transmit a b or g signal, then you will need a Sonos Boost device. Alternatively, you could use LAN cables to connect the speakers directly to the router if you are able to, and take WiFi out of the equation entirely.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They run on your WiFi through an app. We have them in a 25k sq ft building and we have no problems
