Q: QuestionI know this is purchased as a pair but do i have to use them that way? I would like to use one in a master bath and the other in a regular bathroom

Asked 5 years ago by Dponce.

• A:Answer Hi, thanks for you question. These speakers are designed to be used as a pair connected to a Sonos Amp. If you wired both to a single Sonos Amp, and switched to a Dual Mono output, you would play music in both bathrooms, at the same time and would not have independent control.

Q: QuestionFor a small (10 x 12) covered outdoor living area with a big screen TV, will these speakers and the SONOS Amp allow me to supplement the TV volume/sound and stream music from Spotify/Pandora, etc., through the Amp? Do I need a Soundbar, too?

Asked 3 years ago by Joe.

• A:Answer Hi Joe, if you are able to plug the amp directly to the tv ARC port you don’t need the sound bar. In my set up the amp is located in a tech closet that’s not close to the tv so I needed to add the Sonos bean sound bar. Note that once your device is connected to Sonos it can play on all your Sonos speakers that are connected to amps.
