A:AnswerHi, thank you for your question. The Sonos Amp can accommodate four speakers connected wired in parallel, as long as the speakers are 8 ohm. If you can ensure that these speakers are 8 ohm, and you can wire them in parallel, you should be fine. If the speakers are 4 ohm or 6 ohm, you would need to purchase a second Sonos Amp to accommodate all four speakers.
A:AnswerThere is a left and right line in RCA connection. You could plug a mic into that. Most of the demos online show a turntable being used. You could replace the turntable with a microphone.
A:AnswerAs long as your CD player has the proper outputs and you have passive speakers to connect to the Amp you can definitely add your CD collection to your Sonos system this way!
A:AnswerYou will not be able to keep the Yamaha and the Sonos Amp connected at the same time to the same set of speakers to add power to push those speakers. The Sonos Amp is 125 watts per channel at 8 ohms which would likely be a power improvement over your current receiver but would lack the ability to output to the other 7 channels the Yamaha supports.
A:AnswerTo my knowledge, this Sonos amp does not contain DACs. Instead, many of the streaming music apps offer “hi-fi” and “master” level uncompressed streams. My FLAC files as well as Tidal streams sound exceptional with my very efficient Klipsch towers, less so with the DefTech patio speakers.
A:AnswerYes.
Plug the RCA Line Out jacks from your CD player into the Line In jacks on the Sonos Amp. Your CD player will be the Line Input to the Amp. Group your Sonos Move with Sonos Amp and your CD player will be available as a playback source to both Sonos products. Remember, you will still need a way to control the CD player's playback functions (PLAY, PAUSE, TRACK SKIP, ETC...) - Sonos cannot do that - but this would work well if you have a multi disc changer set up for random or repeat play mode.
A:AnswerIf you just want to stream music thru your stereo system you may be better off looking at the Sonos Port. Basically, you connect the Port to your system by way of the audio input (RCA plugs). Then you stream to the port and get music to play thru your receiver to your speakers. It will work from the Sonos app or, I typically use Airplay (if you have an Apple device).
