Q: QuestionDoes this require any type of subscription to maintain app compatibility?
Asked by Nexus2000.
- A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. The Sonance MAG6.1 Landscape Outdoor Speaker System is powered by the Sonos Amp, which integrates directly with the Sonos app. No subscription is required to use the app for music streaming, system setup, or ongoing compatibility. However, some third-party streaming services within the Sonos app (such as Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) may require their own paid subscriptions if you’d like to access those platforms. 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.

Q: QuestionDo you need 1 amp per zone (kitchen, backyard, etc…)? Or do you need one amp per zone to control each zone independently?
Asked by Beewhyguy.
- A:Answer Hi, Thanks for your question. If you want to control each "zone" or room independently, you would need to dedicate one amp per zone. This will give you the flexibility to group all zones together and play the same content across all zones, or operate them independently with different volume levels and different content in each zone/room. I hope you found this information helpful. If you have other questions, please call our California-based support team at 949-492-7777 and ask for Tech Support.

Q: Question1. Will the 6.1 system allow me to stream music from the iTunes library on my laptop via the internet? 2. Can I mount the amplifier in a weatherproof enclosure in South Florida (will hot weather and humidity negatively impact the amplifier?)
Asked by MOS62.
- A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. The Sonos app will allow you to listen to music from your music library and stream music from some of the top music streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, and more. As for your question about mounting the Sonos amp in a weatherproof enclosure, I would recommend that you contact Sonos directly to get the answer to your question. You can contact them by calling (800) 680-2345, or you can access their web-based support page by clicking here: https://support.sonos.com/s/contact?language=en_US - Sonance Customer Support Team

Asked by Soundbar.
- A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. Yes, you can play the TV sound through the MAG6.1 system and Sonos soundbar by using the Sonos app and grouping both together. This is a feature within the Sonos app. I hope you found this information helpful.

Q: QuestionWill the mag 6.1 amplifier handle 2 additional speakers?
Asked by Additional.
- A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. We do not recommend adding two additional speakers to the MAG6.1 system. The included six satellite speakers and subwoofer are the maximum configuration for the included Sonos Amp; adding additional speakers will exceed its impedance limits and cause performance issues or damage to the amplifier. If you need additional coverage, you will need to purchase a second MAG6.1 system. 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 through Friday, 6 am to 5 pm PST.

Q: QuestionAre these wireless or do I need to run inground wires?
Asked by Bosslady.
- A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. The MAG6.1 speakers and subwoofer are not wireless. They must be connected to the included Sonos Amp using outdoor-rated, direct-burial speaker wire. For most installations, we recommend 14/4 direct-burial speaker wire, which can be run between the amplifier, speakers, and subwoofer. Music is streamed wirelessly to the Sonos Amp through your home Wi-Fi network, but the outdoor speakers themselves require wired connections. If you have questions about your installation, please contact 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!

Q: QuestionCan the speakers be wall mounted versus in-ground mounted? If yes, are there published mounting instructions.
Asked by Matt.
- A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. Yes, the MAG6.1 satellite speakers can be mounted to a wall or another solid surface using the optional Sonance Round Surface Mount (Best Buy SKU #6425820) or the Tree and Surface Mount (Best Buy SKU #6473683). Installation instructions are included with the mounting accessories. Please note that the MAG6.1 satellites do not have an adjustable knuckle, so they cannot be pivoted after mounting. Depending on the mounting location, they may not point in the direction needed for the best sound coverage. For an installation that requires greater aiming flexibility, consider the complete Sonance Garden Series 8.1 system with DSP 2-150 MKIII amplifier (Best Buy SKU #6583411). Its satellite speakers feature adjustable knuckles that allow them to pivot and be pointed in any direction. If you have questions about your specific installation, feel free to contact 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!

Q: QuestionCould you add 2 additional outdoor speakers to this system in the same amp?
Asked by BennyB.
- A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. We do not recommend adding additional speakers to the same Sonos Amp because the MAG6.1 system is specifically configured for the six included satellite speakers and subwoofer. Adding additional speakers would change the impedance load presented to the amplifier, which could affect performance or potentially damage the equipment. For additional coverage, you could add a second MAG6.1 system, giving you more placement flexibility and the option to create a separate outdoor audio zone. For a larger, more expandable solution, consider the Sonance Garden Series 8.1 system with the included DSP 2-150 MKIII amplifier (Best Buy SKU #6583411). This system can be expanded to support up to 16 satellite speakers and two subwoofers from a single amplifier, providing excellent flexibility for larger outdoor spaces. If you have questions about your specific installation, feel free to contact our California-based support team at 949-492-7777.

Q: Questionare these speakers wireless? Or do they need to be wired to a receiver?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. The speakers and subwoofer are not wireless. They must be connected to the included Sonos Amp using outdoor-rated, direct-burial, 4-conductor speaker wire. We recommend 16-gauge wire for runs up to 150 feet or 14-gauge wire for runs up to 250 feet. The Sonos Amp connects to your Wi-Fi network for wireless music streaming.

Q: Questionif i have all cement can i put the subwoofer in a planter
Asked by JohnnyBoy.
- A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. Yes, if the area where you want to place the subwoofer is concrete, it can be installed in a planter as long as there is adequate drainage and the planter is filled with soil or similar landscaping material. The subwoofer is designed to be partially buried, leaving approximately 5 inches between the bottom of the canopy and the soil line, making a planter a great alternative when in-ground installation is not possible.

Q: QuestionCan i buy the same kind of speakers and if so where? How many speakers more can i add to this amplifier?
Asked by Me.
- A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. We do not recommend adding any additional speakers to the MAG6.1 system. Adding more speakers may result in an unsafe load and could damage the included Sonos Amp. If you would like to add more speakers to your outdoor area, we recommend purchasing a second MAG6.1 system. This provides additional coverage and the flexibility to create a separate outdoor audio zone. I hope you found this information helpful.

Q: QuestionDo I need anything easy to have these speakers work with Spotify or Apple?
Asked by jsfwcc.
- A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. The Sonance MAG6.1 system includes a Sonos Amp, which allows you to stream music directly from Spotify, Apple Music, and many other music services through the Sonos app. If you use Apple devices, the Sonos Amp also supports AirPlay 2 for direct streaming from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Q: QuestionWhat size wire do I need
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. For the Sonance MAG6.1 outdoor speaker system, we recommend using 14/4 direct-burial speaker wire for most installations. For longer wire runs, 12/4 direct-burial speaker wire is recommended to help minimize signal loss. Using 4-conductor wire allows you to make a single wire run through the landscape system, simplifying installation. While the exact wire gauge will depend on your total wire distance, 14/4 is suitable for most residential installations. I hope you found this information helpful.
