QuestionI just bought these speakers and assumed they were like all others. But looks like I need the amp. For clarity, the amp plugs in to power, then run speaker wire to both speakers? Speakers need plug in power? And can then use wifi to control them?
Asked 3 years ago by Nels.
- Answer The speakers are passive. They do not need power, they only need the audio source from your amp. Power --- AC power ---> Amp --- audio signal ---> Speaker

QuestionCan I connect indoor and outdoor speakers to the same AMP and then use the app to choose which speakers are "on" and playing the sound?
Asked 3 years ago by Steve.
- Answer Thank you for your question. A single Sonos Amp only controls one stream and volume level, no matter if you connect a single or multiple pairs to it. In order to have independent control you would have to use a separate Amp for each zone.

Questioncan you add more than 2 speakers ?
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hi, and thank you for your question. Yes, as long as they are 4ohms speakers. Keep in mind that whatever speakers are plugged into the same amp will all play the same thing at the same time no matter what. Not a big deal if all 4 speakers are in the same room, but it can be if you're putting both sets in different rooms.

QuestionWhat outdoor speaker wire do you recommend? I’m assuming a separate wire for each speaker running back to the amp?
Asked 4 years ago by Texan.
- Answer We have no brand recommendations, however we do have gauge recommendations. Check out this article for that. https://support.sonos.com/s/article/4764?language=en_US We also recommend running the wire in parallel.

QuestionWhat makes these different than any other outdoor speaker? One of the attractions of Sonos is the wireless capability. I can find equally great sounding speakers for a much better price.
Asked 5 years ago by Robert.
- Answer Hi, and thank you for your question. There are a few differences. These speakers are designed with a detection circuit that tells it that it's powered to our Amp. There are three major benefits because of that. 1) Customized DSP for each model of speaker (outdoor, in-wall, in-ceiling) 2) Ability to trueplay tune the in-wall, and in-ceiling models (https://support.sonos.com/s/article/3251?language=en_US) 3) You can run up to three pairs of speakers of this on one Sonos Amp compared to 2 pairs.

Questionare they bluetooth and does it have alexa built in
Asked 5 years ago by salli.
- Answer Hi, and thank you for your question. No, they are not bluetooth. They are controlled wirelessly with the Sonos Amp! They also do not have voice assistance built into them, but our Amp will connect to Alexa in our app, and via the Alexa app so that they can be controlled with voice. All you would need is an Amazon voice product, or you can use our voice assisted speakers.

QuestionWe have a new home and want to put in the Sonos outdoor speakers. We were told that we needed an electrical plug but the speakers are wireless for operation. However I am reading that we need an amp to run these speakers. Suggestions????
Asked 2 years ago by Nancy.
- Answer Yes. You need an amplifier to run these speakers. I recommend the Sonos Amp if you already use other Sonos equipment. The Amplifier will be indoors and speaker wires need to be run to speaker locations.
