SONOS USER GUIDE
What can you do with Amp?
Play music through your favorite speakers
Connect your favorite bookshelf, floor-standing, in-wall, or in-ceiling speakers to Amp to stream all the music
you love. Connect a turntable, stereo, or portable music player and play the sound on any Sonos speaker.
Enhance your TV sound
Connect Amp to your TV to create the ultimate entertainment system.
•Use Amp and a pair of 3rd-party speakers to create two front audio channels.
•Use Amp with third-party speakers to add surround sound if you already have a Sonos home theater
speaker (Beam, Playbase, Playbar, or another Amp) connected to your TV.
(For even deeper sound, add a Sonos Sub or connect a third-party subwoofer.)
See Connect Amp to your TV
for setup information.

•Place two Amps side by side in a 2U rack.
•Place four Amps in a 3U rack.
Placed on a credenza
•Place horizontally on a stable and level surface at least 3" (50mm) from TV.
•Don’t block the TV’s IR sensor.
•If put on a shelf, place at the front and keep 3" (minimum) clearance on all sides.
•Don’t block the front of Amp so you can reach the touch controls.
Analog audio in Use a standard RCA audio cable to connect Amp’s
analog audio inputs to the audio outputs from a
separate audio component, such as a turntable or a
portable music player.
Ethernet ports (2) Use an Ethernet cable if you want to connect to a router,
computer, or network-attached storage (NAS) device
(optional).
Subwoofer output
Note: If you disconnect your subwoofer, make
sure to also disconnect the subwoofer’s
cable from the Amp output.
Connect a powered subwoofer to this output using a
standard RCA cable. The system will detect when a
cable is connected to the subwoofer output and adjust
the crossover frequency automatically.
Speaker terminals Use high-quality speaker wire to connect your speakers
to Amp.
