A:AnswerHi, thank you very much for your questions. To answer your first question, yes these can be used to pair with the Sonos Beam when connected to a Sonos Amp. For your second question, if you are connecting two pairs of speakers to a single Sonos Amp you cannot control independent playback or volume for each pair.
A:AnswerOur architectural speakers are meant to be connected to our Sonos Amp and work within our ecosystem. If your Sony Soundbar has a receiver you can connect your soundbar to the Sonos ecosystem with a Sonos Port and enjoy whole home audio.
A:AnswerSonance speakers can be used with our architectural line once connected to a Sonos Amp. Yes, you can pair Sonos Architectural speakers with Sonance speakers, including the Sonance MAG6R. Sonos and Sonance have collaborated to create the Sonos Architectural line, which is specifically designed to work seamlessly with the Sonos Amp. However, you can mix and match these with other Sonance speakers, such as the MAG6R, especially if they share similar specifications in terms of impedance and power handling.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Impedance Matching: Ensure that the impedance (measured in ohms) of the Sonos Architectural speakers and the Sonance speakers is the same or compatible. Most in-ceiling and in-wall speakers, including those from Sonos and Sonance, are designed with an 8-ohm impedance.
Power Handling: Check the power handling capabilities of both the Sonos Architectural and Sonance speakers to ensure they can be powered adequately by the same amplifier (e.g., Sonos Amp). The Sonos Amp provides 125 watts per channel, which should be compatible with most Sonance speakers.
Speaker Pairing: When pairing different speakers, make sure that their tonal characteristics are similar to maintain a consistent sound profile across your audio system. While Sonos and Sonance speakers are designed to work well together, the sound signature might differ slightly if you mix different models.
Speaker Placement: Pay attention to the placement of the speakers to ensure optimal sound coverage and avoid phase issues. This is particularly important when mixing different speaker models.
In summary, you can pair Sonos Architectural speakers with Sonance MAG6R or other Sonance speakers, but ensure that they are compatible in terms of impedance, power handling, and sound characteristics. This will help you achieve a balanced and cohesive audio experience in your space.
A:AnswerHi Danny,
Yes, you would still need an Amp to power them. If you chose our Sonos Amp it does have a line-in input for additional devices. The advantage to using our Sonos Amp with the Sonos speakers is that they are the only passive speakers that can be tuned to your specific environment using a process called TruePlay in our app. Second, you can connect up to three pairs of Sonos by Sonance speakers to one Amp.
Thanks for your inquiry.
A:AnswerHi Zach, that is absolutely right but you would need to use a Sonos Amp to power these speakers for that configuration to work. The Sonos Amp would be connected as surround channels in the Sonos app.
A:AnswerHi, and thank you for your question. Yes you can, you would need x2 Sonos Amps to do this. One powering the fronts and one powering the surrounds. You can even add our Sub wirelessly or another company's sub to it with the sub output built into the Amp. No receiver needed.
A:AnswerHi, and thank you for your question. The Sonos Amp does not have a center channel however, we do mix the center channel into the left and the right speakers so that you still get really good dialog performance.
