Q: QuestionI know it's recommended to set up the speakers 8-10' apart, but is it possible to surpass this distance? I'd like to set up the last 2 speakers about 20' from the other 4 in a separate area of my yard.

Asked 5 years ago by Jerry.

• A:Answer Not sure if the sketch below will come through ok; but I have two speakers set off from the bunch, a good 40 feet from the subwoofer (by the fire pit). The others are in a line along the back of our house with the sub and run the length of the pool. At lower volumes, it’s a little hard to hear the sub at the fire pit, but at normal volumes, like 35-50%, it sounds great. One advantage that I have is that the sub is leveraging the back wall of the house. I literally had the electrician run two separate zones to the same interior room, assuming this would not work well and that eventually I’d have to get another system for the fire pit area. But I was surprised how well it worked. SKETCH: + is a speaker; @ is the subwoofer _________ + + ___________________ +.________ @_________ +_________ +_________+

Q: QuestionIs it possible to add Bluetooth capability to the amp?

Asked 4 years ago by DOn.

• A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. The Sonos amp does not offer Bluetooth; however, the back of the Sonos amp does have an Aux. input using RCA connections. You may be able to find a Bluetooth adaptor that has an RCA output as an alternative to built-in Bluetooth. That said, the Sonos app allows you to stream music from your music library and music services like Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Sirius XM, etc., wirelessly using your home WiFi network. The app is free and extremely easy to use and set up. I typically don't recommend using Bluetooth because the phone or tablet you are streaming from must stay within roughly 30 feet of the Bluetooth adaptor at all times for the signal to stay connected. If you accidentally walk away with your phone or take a phone call, the music stops playing. It can be a bit of a hassle to stream using Bluetooth. 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 will be happy to help you out. - Sonance Customer Support Team

Q: QuestionAm I understanding correctly? I need to run RCA cables to all my speakers instead of speaker wire?

Asked 3 years ago by Foster365.

• A:Answer Your understanding is incorrect. No RCA cables are used. What you need is one speaker cable that has 4 wires. 2 for right channel and 2 for the left channel and then you daisy chain the connection as you lay out your speakers. Each pair of speaker will be a left and a right and you break into the cable along the way to make the connections. See the photo of the wire needed.

Q: QuestionCan you link 2 6.1 Mag series systems together? Essentially giving you a 12.2 speaker set up with 2 zones? I would want the option to both systems play the same input at the same time.

Asked 4 years ago by Fryguy.

• A:Answer Yes you can. I have 4 amps in my backyard. They can simultaneously play the same the same source or individual music. You can also control the volume with each zone as well. They work great. Hope that helps. Good luck

Q: QuestionWhat does the wiring diagram for the six satellite setup look like? Won't having 6 satellites overload the Amp as its only designed for 4 8 OHM speakers?

Asked 5 years ago by TM.

• A:Answer I asked a similar question to Sonance directly and there answer is below (I was asking if the Sonos Amp would work and what I'd lose by going that route). From Sonance Support: "The Sonance Patio Series can be driven in a 4.1 or 6.1 configuration off a single SONOS amplifier. I would not recommend running a 8.1 or 8.2 off a single SONOS amplifier. You would not have access to SonARC equalization by using a SONOS amplifier. You would not use the subwoofer output on your SONOS amplifier, instead the Sonance Patio Series subwoofer would be wired in parallel as if it was being driven by a Sonance SR 2-125 amplifier. Feel free to reach out to myself if you happen to have any further questions or concerns."

Q: QuestionI'm trying to decide between this product, Sonance - MAG Series 6.1 and the other Sonance - MAG Series 4.1. The 4.1 system appears to have 2x the power handling of the 6.1 system. Is this correct? Sound comparison from anyone? Trying to decide.

Asked 4 years ago by richp123.

• A:Answer I can't answer that about comparison but tell you the 6.1 sounds clear and covers our backyard well. I think it really only depends on the size of the space you are trying fill with sound.

Q: QuestionCan I use two of these 6.1 systems to make a 12.2 system using only 1 amp? Sonance's website says that the system can be upgraded to a 16.2 using only 1 amp. 1 amp I would use for this system, and another amp could be used in another room with speakers.

Asked 3 years ago by hamzee.

• A:Answer Simple answer is no, you’ll overload your Sonos amp. If you have two of these systems, use the provided Sonos amp with each 6.1 system. You will not be disappointed. You can then use the Sonos app to provide a single source of audio to each system, or separate audio sources to them individually.

Q: QuestionHow do you turn up the volume on the subwoofer. I can barely hear anything

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer On the Sonos app select settings, select system, select the room name, and select EQ. Then you can adjust the sliders for bass or traeble. My system sounded really good right out of the box. You may also want to check your wiring of the speakers. It’s possible you got some of the wires reversed causing the polarity to be wrong. This will affect the sound.

Q: QuestionIf I order this online, the system I get will have the screw in plastic connectors directly attached to the speakers and subwoofer correct? I want to be able to use the available plug in wiring harness and the older systems do not have this option.

Asked 1 month ago by tuck.

• A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee which version of the MAG6.1 system will be shipped when ordering online. If you plan to use the optional outdoor wiring harness, we recommend purchasing from a store where you can verify the packaging before purchase. The easiest way to identify a compatible system is to check the back of the box. Compatible MAG6.1 systems will show the Sonance Outdoor Wiring Harness as an optional accessory. These systems include the preinstalled connectors on the satellite speakers and subwoofer that work with the harness. I hope you found this information helpful. If you have any additional questions, feel free to reach out to our California-based support team at 949-492-7777. We’re available Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST, and happy to help! – Sonance Tech Support Team
