My Go to system, great sound intuitive sonos software, awsome sound

Great sound and quality very satisfied with my purchase

If you're familiar with Sonos and have Sonos products, you will want this. Just dont buy it at full price. I probably would have preferred deftech or b&w speakers at full price but these arent bad .

The speakers sound great but they do not get that loud. They are easily controlled from my phone. They are easily controlled by my sinks arc. I do like that I can point direct the sound out.

I like the advantage to contol many amps and speaker with just one app

First impression can be summed up in one word, Wow. The speakers are artfully designed, they look fantastic, and you can see immediately that there are serious engineering and production skills that speak to a company with experience. These speakers are the first time I have ever seen a Sonance product, and I am sold. As a tagline, I have always had top-shelve speakers in my home and can tell you this set is a winner. Excuse my many adjectives, but at times reviewing a new product is pure joy. The weight of the amp and speakers is 14lbs which is fairly heavy for bookshelf size speakers, have found weightier amps and speakers typically produce the best sounds. Now on to Setup – you need speaker wire; I used 16 gauge which works well and easy to install. Three setup steps instructions in the QuickStart Guide: 1. Connect speakers to amp with the banana plugs 2. Download Sonos App 3. “Enjoy music, TV and more” Sonos App walks you through the rest of the setup steps. Setup was smooth and easy. Installed my system in my garage which required the most work for me running cables up and over roof to speakers. Sans my wiring I believe the setup would require about 30 minutes. Sonos Amp - 125W/Ch at 8 ohms Clean sound and design with tremendous power all in a small footprint, brilliant. Capacitive touch controls – excellent touch control for volume and flipping through songs. Auto software updates • HDMI ARC for TV • 60Hz - 30kHz frequency response • Peak Power Handling 80 watts • Speaker enclosures are sealed • Output for Subwoofer • Two banana plugs for speaker wire – nice • RCA AUX input for audio devices • Ethernet ports (2) • Stereo or dual-mono sound • Optical output supported (optical adaptor required) Sonos App: • Adjustable bass and treble & balance controls (App) • Home Theater controls • Surround sound control for two Sonos Speakers with Wi-Fi • All your services in one place, your App On my App I have the following services (believe that about all streaming services are available): • Sonos Radio • Plex Server • Spotify • Line-in • Music stored on my tablet The All-Weather speakers have an environmental range of -13 to 140 degrees. Gone are the days of lugging my Bluetooth speaker to and from my garage in hot/cold weather. Love it! The speakers are IP-66 waterproof rated, this spec I had to look up: “A rating of IP66 means that the product is fully protected against dust and solid objects. Moreover, the product is protected against powerful water jets projected by a nozzle (12.5mm) from any directions.” Additionally, the speakers are Mil-Spec 810 which protects the system speakers from humidity, salt spray, and UV rays. Mil-Spec 810: “Part One of MIL-STD-810 describes management, engineering, and technical roles in the environmental design and test tailoring process. It focuses on the process of tailoring design and test criteria to the specific environmental conditions an equipment item is likely to encounter during its service life.” Bottom-line, these speakers are made to take the weather in effectively any environment. The design and construction are seriously incredible, that Sonance developed speakers that work in wide-ranging climate ranges and deliver wonderfully rich music. Being a techy audio person, I am clearly astonished at Sonance’s technology and more to the point, the tunes.

Love these speakers, i just wish it had more bass for playing music.

Very good for my pergola Excellent sound and calidad

I finally installed an outdoor speaker system in my backyard. Whenever I had a patio event or screen projection outdoor movies, it was some inconvenience using portable speakers and especially putting them away before the blood-sucking mosquitos come out. This system is a great idea for a permanent outdoor entertainment solution rather than many portable outdoor speakers. A dedicated setup will allow a better listening experience. This Sonos Amp is a smart amplifier that powers passive speakers (indoor/outdoor), transmitting an impressive 125 watts of power per channel. The speakers are loud and deliver a pristine sound. The casing is made of hard solid glass fiber, and its mounting brackets are solid metal (probably aluminum), both of which have a good coat of matte white eggshell color. The texture feels a bit like a smooth eggshell, and I believe this is so one can paint over them (prime surface). What makes this smart is the wireless streaming from a huge selection of music streaming services, such as Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple Music, and lots more. Note that the Bluetooth capability is just for the Sonos app; you can’t stream directly from a streaming music service app. Basically, you allow the Sonos app access to your streaming service, and you only use the Sonos app for the Amp system. The exception to this is If you have an Apple device, you can stream straight to the Amp via Airplay. Overall, the steaming of music works perfectly. Compared to traditional amplifiers, this system doesn’t take a lot of space and uses the least amount of wires. The front of the Amp has the basic touch buttons, play/pause, and volume control. This minimalistic look allows the placement of the amplifier in any room in the house. The back of the system is the main power cord connection, two speaker terminals (set includes banana plugs for simplified and neat connection), an RCA line (optional connection of a turntable, a CD player, or any other audio component), a line-out for a subwoofer (not included), and an HDMI ARC for TV. I use the HDMI connection to watch a movie when I have an outdoor movie projection. If you want to use a 3.5 mm stereo female AUX, use a 2-RCA male adapter and connect it to the RCA line in the Amp. The connection cables allowed are up to 14-gauge (not included). The outdoor speaker connects using the wires to the Sonos Amp, which must be placed indoors. For best performance, I mounted my speakers at ear levels. With the impressive 125 watts of power per channel, I am sure you can connect two and maybe three speakers per channel. Conclusion: Properly installed, the speakers and the Amp will give you many years of outdoor entertainment. One of the biggest benefits of having a separate amplifier and speaker system is the capability to upgrade any of them in the future. But, rest assured that the Sonance system will provide many years of entertainment pleasure. This system is truly a perfect outdoor entertainment; it is all-weather resistance, loud and delivers pristine sound all the time, and looks very nice.

Sonance - Outdoor Streaming Music System Powered By Sonos Our days of schlepping our assortment of bluetooth speakers out to the back deck are over. In fact, after an afternoon listening to these as I prepare to mount them on my back deck, I wondered what took me so long to explore the Sonos systems. This Sonance/Sonos speaker is an environmentally impervious solution that sounds really good. It’s really really good. It visually disappears into our outdoor architecture. (Unless you take advantage of the ability to paint them, which I’m about to do …. brilliantly.) It’s easy to understand how the Sonos-based whole-house systems have gained so much popularity. Sonance’s speakers surprised me with their ability to fill an outdoor space with rich, broad range music and dialog. As you can see from my photos, I’ve decided to make my speakers portable, while still taking advantage of their outdoor features. I created my own stands, so I move my speakers from the TV area, to the BBQ area, to my spa area. The best of all worlds. WHAT IS THIS? A simplified outdoor audio system including … The SONANCE speakers (2 in this kit) requiring wires connected to the AMP. Put’em where you want’em. This is very low voltage wiring so moisture is not an issue. The speakers are NOT wireless, not Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi. The speakers are IP-66 waterproof rated and conform to Mil Spec 810 for humidity, salt spray, temperature and UV. The Sonos amp only needs a power outlet and those wires to the speaker. The amp needs more care in its placement, tucked away from water, but it looks pretty rugged. I’ve got mine near my outdoor TV. The amp cannot send audio wirelessly to the speakers. SETUP is centered around the SONOS AMP with its WiFi, etc connectivity. The specifications describe 125watts for each of 2 channels (requires speaker cable, not included). The primary source of music is a lengthy list of streaming providers (TIDAL Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, etc) as well as any music I have on my Mac Music App, made available on the home Wi-Fi. The AMP’s 2 speaker connectors conceal the fact that you can double up wiring and easily power 2 pairs of speakers. [There is some commentary on the Sonos forums suggesting a 3rd pair right be added. Talk to Sonus support before you try this.] [About Sonos support: They are great. I needed them for an issue I had setting up the AMP. The CHAT queue was a 5 minute wait, and they took all the time needed to resolve my issue. Patient, knowledgeable, competent. ] The Sonos Amp will connect to Wi-Fi, ethernet (in/out), HDMI ARC for TV, a subwoofer output for a speaker you might own (or buy), right and left speaker outputs which are ready for banana plugs. A traditional RCA audio input allows for a turntable or CD player input. The stereo channels are an expected feature, but there is also a Mono mode, letting you over-ride the stereo signal coming into the amp in those situations where your speakers aren’t distributed in an ideal physical configuration. In my setup I wanted to distribute sound from the TV to a sitting area or maybe music to the spa area. Which brings us to …… MONO Mode (and why you care): In a typical family room or even bedroom you will create a “stage” where you’ll center your TV and music media. The recording helps create the stage illusion using either stereo or fully surround tracks. But what happens on your patio or around your pool or spa? Sure, you might be able to recreate a stage, but I’d bet, just as often, you’d prioritize reaching areas with sound, often with a single speaker. The ability to merge stereo tracks into a MONO signal ensures that everyone hears the entire performance, and not just the performers on one side of the stage. So, in my situation, I can mount one speaker closer to the TV and another closer to the spa, and merge the stereo signals. I can see I’ll be adding another pair of speakers for each area, but I won’t need another amp. HDMI ARC for TV: I have a patio TV for those times when I don’t want to miss a broadcast game while I’m getting some fresh air or time in the spa. Modern TV’s have only OK sound from they built-in speakers, and they definitely struggle in an open-air setting. I can’t imagine anyone daring to install home audio equipment outside. SONOS’s versatile Amp has this totally covered, providing a link to your TV audio output and managing to deliver that sound around your outside living space. The MONO mode is especially useful, again. OPERATION and SOUND: The APP (see pictures for sample App pages) The SONOS App manages to be comprehensive, controlling a complex system of any Sonos or attached speakers you might have, while also managing your array of media sources and a broad collection of media. I spend most of time switching between Pandora’s various “stations” I personally set up for me, or my music library on my laptop computer and all my playlists, or my the TV that’s attached to the AMP by an HDMI cable. It’s all very easy. It all adds to a feeling that you’re in control of the technology and not trapped in it. How it sounds I love to be wowed by audio/video equipment, and the Sonance/Sonos system I’m reviewing certainly surprised me. Delivering a nice music experience or satisfying sound for outdoor living spaces is not easy. It’s not just about the weather. There are typically no walls or even ceilings to reflect back sound and the “floor” may also be very sound absorbing dirt or grass. The Sonance Speakers do a wonderful job working in the wide open area of my deck area and they easily distribute the TV sound across the entire living space. Sonance has built in a reasonable amount of bass reinforcement, which are the tones most likely to get lost in an open area. The resulting sound is very well balanced. But, it’s also rich and “big”, having no trouble filling a larger area. SUMMARY: Bringing audio outdoors is a feat few companies have mastered. Accomplishing this in a way that builds seamlessly off of your whole house, indoor-centered, system is an even bigger accomplishment. Sonance powered by SONOS has earned its place as a premier outdoor music solution. It sounds great. It is pretty flexible in how and where you mount it, but you need to be aware of where the wires are installed. You can add it to a pre-existing Sonos system with no effort at all, connecting it to all of your current media sources. Or, start with this outdoor system and you’ll see how easy it is to bring it all inside. It’s not inexpensive, but who else is doing all of this so nicely? Recommended.

We have Sonos throughout our home, so naturally we wanted to keep everything on the same platform. I started researching other outdoor speakers since any outdoor passive speaker will work with the Sonos amp. I almost pulled the trigger on some Polk Audio speakers that were cheaper when Sonos put these on sale. The sale basically made one speaker free. At this price point I would say it's worth it, otherwise there are other great options out there. As far as the product construction and sound; they sound amazing! The build seems very high quality. The mounting is easy and the mounts are articulate which is fantastic. They have a decent amount of low end for their size. This of coarse depends a bit on where you mount them. We have them on a wall with the tv about head level. If you are a low end fiend like me, you will be looking into an outdoor sub. The amp is not outdoor rated. We did not have a sufficient area to place it inside and run cables, so I purchased and outdoor enclosure for it. Something to think about when planning your setup. Overall we are very satisfied with the system and the capability to stream music all through the home and outside. Also really cool for game days when people are going inside and out without missing a play.

I installed this sonos amp and snace mag speakers in my back yard. The music streaming services are endless, from Pandora to SiriusXM, YouTube music, music on your phone or tablet, amazon music, newly added sonos radio and on.... Installation is easy, I simply mounted my outdoor speakers to the lower half of my siding where I knew there was a 2x12 for a solid attachment, then drilled two 1/2" holes for my shielded speakers wire, along with 4 holes per speaker mount. Then I ran my speaker wire through my basement drop ceiling into my wall cavity to my entertainment center where my sonos amp is installed. Connect the amp to the speaker wire, then I plugged the amp into my other sonos amp with ethernet cable for internet connection. Next just plug in the power cord and connect to the sonos amp for setup. The sound and volume is incredible, totally fills my backyard and them some with audiophile sound outdoors. These speakers have nice rounded sound with perfect highs and boomy bass. I like that you can tweak the EQ in the sonos ap settings, there's also a Loudness setting which I keep Off. I now find myself wanting to find excuses to enjoy my backyard more now, since I have endless music that sounds great on tap. I highly recommend giving this sonos amp and sonace speakers try. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent sound and easy to setup. I love the streaming Sonos amp, it has plenty of power to drive the two speakers with great sound and plenty of volume. We'll see how these speakers stand up to the elements over time, they did a great job of protecting the speaker connections. So far I love them.

These are fantastic speakers. Set up was a breeze and the Sonos amp is amazing. The app for the amp its great and its so easy to connect your phone to it. Cannot go wrong with this purchase.

I put these up on my outdoor patio of my new house. The ability to switch the sound seamlessly from my outdoor TV to music makes it so easy and convenient. I love the look, and the install was super easy since I had the house wired while we were building. I have Sonos speakers inside the house as well and when all are paired together it makes for a party atmosphere or a great way to watch the big game, inside or out!

Couldn’t be any happier with this purchase. For me this was a very easy install. I placed the amp in, (our attic is pretty well insulated), the attic which made it much easier for the placement of the speakers on our patio. The gentleman that sold us these speakers was very knowledgeable. I told him what I was looking for and he sold me on these. For me, the sound is awesome. Next will be the Tv,( so many choices out there),and maybe even the subwoofer. I would definitely recommend. Unfortunately, I haven’t gotten any photos of the installation yet.

I have been eying the Sonos outdoor speakers (made by Sonance) and AMP combo for well over a year but couldn't get past the $1500 price tag after taxes. Was blown away to see that a bundled option existed. Given the price of the Sonos AMP, the speakers are nearly free. I excitedly installed them this weekend and was more than impressed. The sound quality and achievable volume was much more than I expected.

Amazing sound coupled with simplicity. This unit is everything I’d hoped it would be. Easy to use, easy to install and easy set up. Combine that with two exceptional speakers for outdoor use and we have an incredible product.

We are so happy with this parchase! Great sound and having the app to control everything is very convenient.
