Q: How many channels does this Sonance amplifier have?

A: This Sonance amplifier has 16 channels.

Q: Why are there so many inputs and outputs on this amplifier?

A: The multiple inputs and outputs on this amplifier allow for flexible configuration and use with a variety of audio sources and speakers.

Q: Does this amplifier have a fan for cooling?

A: Yes, this amplifier has a built-in fan for active cooling.

Q: What is the impedance of this amplifier?

A: This amplifier has an impedance of 8 ohms.

Q: What is the total power output of this amplifier?

A: This amplifier has a total power output of 800 watts RMS.

Q: Can I connect more than one speaker per channel on this amplifier?

A: Yes, this amplifier is 8- and 4-ohm certified stable, allowing you to connect more than one speaker per channel.

Q: If I connect a Sonos port to this amp and stream music via airplay from my iPhone, can i adjust the volume of what is playing via my iPhone or must I use a wall switch or manual knob on the amp itself?

A: Hi, Thank you for your question. Yes, you have a couple of options when using this amplifier. First, a Sonos Port is what you would need to stream music via the Sonos app or use AirPlay and control the volume. This amplifier comes with a BUSS input, meaning you can connect one Sonos Port to the amplifier and play the same music across all speaker channels. You could also connect a Sonos Port to any or all (8) local inputs on the amplifier. This would give you independent volume control for each local input. As an example, let's say you have (8) different areas/rooms in your home where you want to put a pair of speakers (for example, Kitchen, Dining Room, Primary Bedroom, Primary Bathroom, Office, Kids Bedroom, Guest Bedroom, Patio.) You could give each local input its own Sonos Port and have the ability to independently control volume in each room as well as play different music in every room. Using the Sonos app, you could also group areas and play the same music in those grouped rooms. This amplifier is very flexible and works great with Sonos Port. I hope you found this information helpful. If you have additional questions, please feel free to call our California-based support team at 949-492-7777 and ask for Tech Support. We are available Monday - Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM PST. We'd love to help you out. - Sonance Customer Support Team

    Sonance 16 channel Ampliflier

    Nice to have all of the house segmented zones (we have approx 12 diff zones) routed thru the Sonance single Amp. Only concern is the connections on the back are so tiny it took the techs significant work to get the pin connectors to work properly as we needed to consolidate a few of the rooms to one channel. Became a task however is very doable so that it is wired properly.

    Very Good but Pricey

    It is a great unit. A little complex to set up and integrate into the Sonos universe. Generates a really clean sound. My only concern about the unit is the Price. Very good performance but not sure if worthy of the hefty price.
