• A:Answer Sonos by Sonance speakers were designed in collaboration with Sonance. The Sonos by Sonance have a detection circuit that makes a custom dsp for each version of the speaker so you can get the most out of the speakers when plugged into our amp. They in-wall and in-ceiling speakers can also be trueplay tuned which is our proprietary tuning technology that tunes the speakers to the environment of your room using an IOS device.

Q: QuestionWill these speakers work off the WiFi wirelessly or do they have to be wired? I have the Playbar and Sub already and would like to add these outdoor speakers.

Asked 6 years ago by BJ.

This question was asked about the related product: Sonos - Architectural 6-1/2" Passive 2-Way Outdoor Speakers (Pair) - White

• A:Answer These are passive outdoor speakers that require an amplifier to play any content. They are designed to work with the Sonos Amp which can detect that these speakers are connected (in the settings press Detect Architectural Speakers) and have unique sound settings to make them sound incredible outdoors. If you do not want to run speaker wires from an Amp for outdoor speakers like these, check out the Sonos Move which is weather resistant and designed to let you take your Sonos experience outside of your home from your back yard to a camping trip or day at the beach!

Q: QuestionWhat is an ideal or recommended distance between the 2 speakers? Recommended height? I’m installing this in my backyard patio.

Asked 1 year ago by Jay.

This question was asked about the related product: Sonos - Architectural 6-1/2" Passive 2-Way Outdoor Speakers (Pair) - White

• A:Answer When installing Sonos architectural speakers in your backyard patio, here are some general guidelines for optimal placement: Distance Between Speakers: Ideal Spacing: For stereo sound and balanced coverage, the distance between two Sonos architectural speakers should typically be between 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters). This spacing helps create a more immersive and evenly distributed sound experience. Height: Recommended Height for In-Ceiling Speakers: The speakers should be installed about 7 to 10 feet (2.1 to 3 meters) above the listening area. This height allows for optimal sound dispersion and avoids direct overhead sound, which can be less pleasant. Recommended Height for In-Wall or outdoor Speakers: Position these speakers about 3 to 4 feet (0.9 to 1.2 meters) above the floor. This height is typical for listening at a seated position and helps ensure sound is directed towards the listening area. Additional Tips: Avoiding Obstacles: Ensure there are no obstructions (like large furniture or overhangs) directly blocking the sound path between the speakers and the listening area. Angle and Orientation: If possible, angle the speakers slightly towards the main listening area to focus the sound where it’s needed most. These recommendations can vary based on specific speaker models and the layout of your patio. For the best results, you might also consult the installation guide provided by Sonos or seek advice from a professional installer.
