Sonos With Hard Wired Ceiling Speakers

Since then i ve added sonos one wireless speakers in two other rooms and a hard wired playbar with back channel speakers in a fourth room.

Sonos with hard wired ceiling speakers. The sonos in ceiling by sonance speakers use a cutout hole that is 210 mm 8 1 4 in diameter. Hard wiring your sonos components and speakers in order to run your system wirelessly both your sonos components and your main speakers must be hard wired. Switch to a wired setup. My sonos system was originally installed in 2008.

Dave i am moving into a home with in ceiling speakers already wired and want to add sonos. Give it a name assign it to a room and treat it just like any other sonos speaker. Our sonos system includes three zones of in ceiling speakers a soundbar and a sub woofer. Out don t necessarily need to go from the playbar to the connect amp but you will have to wire it to the network for optimal setup.

Thanks chris the sonos devices will be in two clusters a playbar and two play speakers in one cluster within 25 feet of each other and a second cluster consisting of a playbar two play speakers and a connect amp within 30 feet of each other. We ran speaker wire to each of the in ceiling and outdoor speakers. That 5 1 setup could also stream tv audio to any other sonos speaker in your house though there may be a slight audio delay on tv audio due to the way sonos handles low latency tv audio. Fill a space from wall to wall with brilliant sound at any volume.

You can set the sonos system up in a boost configuration by having at least one unit connected to your network with an ethernet cable. For example if you ve wired up your old denon tower speakers in the living room add the port amp connect or connect amp to your sonos system through the app and call it living room. If your existing hole is that size or smaller the sonos speakers will fit but may require a small amount of drywall to be removed if the hole is smaller than 210 mm. In a wired setup the wired product will broadcast a dedicated wireless network that your sonos products will use.

Surround speakers or sub cannot be used as the single wired product. One of the zones though has 3 speakers 2 in master bedroom and 1 in master bath. The first room it supported my living room has hard wired speakers embedded in the ceiling. Sonos and sonance partner to create a set of custom installed speakers that disappear into your ceiling pulse with the unmatched power of sonos amp and optimize themselves for the room using sonos trueplay tuning software.

I am looking at doing a similar set up as you have outlined but with connect amp since there are no outdoor or high powered speakers. The recommended setup for a 5 1 sonos surround is a hard wire to the playbar and a hard wire to the connect amp that you will be using for your in ceiling rear speakers.
