Sonos speakers how to connect free#

Stereo doesnвЂ™t mean it sends the same signal to 2 different speakers, different audio signals get sent to each speaker in order to create a stereophonic effect, feel free to Wikipedia stereophonic effect. In any case, if we went by the book, I would need a single stereo speaker (dual voice coil) or 2 speakers per room for optimal sound.

Sadly IвЂ™m not an electrical engineer, so I canвЂ™t get into the details of how the impedance matching circuit works. The switch will make sure my resistance stays where it needs to be, regardless of how many speakers IвЂ™m driving.thus I donвЂ™t need to worry about the math or figuring out the correct combination of series/parallel wiring. I have 2 options to ensure the speakers donвЂ™t drop to an unsafe resistance, bank them in parallel and then series, or some other combination.or use a speaker distribution switch with impedance matching. Officially the connect:amp is rated for 65watts at 8ohms/channel but it can go down to 130watts at 4ohms/channel. The main thing I need to worry about is ensuring that my resistance does not drop below 4ohms. ItвЂ™s also not very cost effective, since my power requirements are minimal, and the connect:amp is more than capable of pushing the 6 speakers IвЂ™m looking to use. The solution IвЂ™m going for is an advanced custom solution.ДЄ dedicated audio amplifier is probably the best idea, but that would still require 2 connects, and 2 dedicated amplifiers, to achieve the 2 zones IвЂ™m looking for. Sonos can only officially support a limited number of configurations because there are many possible installations that would work just fine, and supporting all of them would be counterproductive to business operations. Thank you for your explanation, and although your suggestion is valid, itвЂ™s not the only possible implementation. Of course you sacrifice the ability to play two different things in different parts of the house (which tbh is a feature I like a lot). The Emotiva A-800 for example, costs about the same as a second Sonos unit. Many of these are available for reasonable prices. Second Option: Multi-Zone AmplifierДЄlternatively, use a multi-zone amplifier. There is also a Sonos AMP device which replaces the Connect:AMP, but I assume it has pretty much the same constraints with regard to driving multiple speakers. 3L and 3R can be any impedance supported in the 2 speaker configuration (4, 6, or 8 Ohm).

Note that Sonos states that these speakers (1L, 1R, 2L, 2R, 4L, 4R, 5L, 5R) must all be eight ohm speakers. I'm not sure why you think you need to use a speaker selector switch at all, you can just do the whole job with the built-in features of the Sonos product.ДЄ and C are driving the maximum number of speakers recommended by Sonos. That makes ten speakers across two zones, 6 speakers in one zone and 4 in the other. Similarly for the second zone/room (pairs 4,5). Organise the L and R speakers in the first zone/room (pairs 1,2,3) so that they form a reasonable stereo sound stage. Why not drive all the speakers in the manufacturer-recommended configuration? Use three Connect:AMP devices, A, B, C. First Option: Use three Connect:AMP devices

But to get better help, you need to be more explicit about your goals and constraints. There are two obvious options that might be suitable for what I guess you are trying to do. Neither do I understand why you're trying to do it, I think. I don't understand what precisely you're trying to achieve.
