  • 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.

    • 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.

  • 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.

    • 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.

  • QuestionI would like to do an outdoor TV with a Sonos Soundbar in my pavilion. Can the soundbar be hooked up/paired to this speaker system so that the TV will play through all the speakers instead of just the soundbar?

    Asked by Soundbar.

    • 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.

  • QuestionDo I need anything easy to have these speakers work with Spotify or Apple?

    Asked by jsfwcc.

    • 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.

  • QuestionWhat size wire do I need

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • 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.

  • QuestionDo I need an amplifier to run the system? Or does it include a Sonos amplifier?

    Asked by Roger.

    • Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. Yes, the Sonance MAG6.1 system does include a Sonos Amp in the package, so you do not need to purchase a separate amplifier to power the system. The package includes six satellite speakers, one in-ground subwoofer, and the Sonos Amp needed to run the complete system. I hope you found this information helpful.

  • QuestionHow far apart can I space the speakers ?

    Asked by Tony.

    • Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. For the best performance and most even sound coverage, we recommend spacing the Sonance MAG6.1 satellite speakers approximately 6 to 8 feet apart. The maximum recommended spacing is about 10 feet between satellites. Speaker placement may vary slightly depending on the layout of your yard and listening area, but staying within those guidelines will help create balanced, immersive outdoor sound coverage.

  • QuestionCan I add 2 additional speakers to a mag 6.1?

    Asked by Tony.

    • Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. We do not recommend adding additional speakers to the MAG6.1 system. The system is specifically designed and tuned to deliver optimal performance with the included speaker configuration. Adding extra speakers may create an impedance load that exceeds the limits of the Sonos Amp, which could lead to performance issues or potential damage to the amplifier. . If you need more coverage for a larger outdoor space, we recommend adding a second MAG6.1 system. For larger properties or applications that require even greater coverage and output, Sonance also offers the Sonance Garden Series system, designed for expanded outdoor areas and can support more speakers and larger subwoofers. 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.

  • QuestionDo I need to buy speaker wire for all of these components?

    Asked by PoolZone26.

    • Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. Yes, speaker wire is required to connect the Sonance MAG6.1 system components together and back to the Sonos Amp. The system does not include speaker wire in the box, so you will need to purchase outdoor-rated direct burial speaker wire separately for installation. For most installations, we typically recommend: • 14/4 direct burial speaker wire for most installations • 12/4 direct burial speaker wire for longer wire runs Using 4-conductor wire is preferred because it allows the system to be wired with a single speaker wire run from the amplifier out to the landscape system, simplifying installation.

  • QuestionHow do the speakers charge

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi, Thank you for your question! The Sonance MAG6.1 landscape speaker system does not require charging. These are passive outdoor speakers, meaning they do not have built-in batteries. Instead, the system is powered by an external amplifier (typically a Sonos Amp), which sends power and audio to the speakers through a direct-burial speaker wire or optional wiring harness (sold separately). Once installed and connected to an amplifier, the system operates continuously without needing to be charged. I hope you found this information helpful.
