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.
Select a location
You can place Amp just about anywhere— in an electronics rack, on a shelf, or on a credenza with
your TV.
Rack mounted
Amp mounts perfectly in any electronics rack.
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 in / 50 mm from the 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.
Connect the cables
Attach desired speakers
Your speakers power rating should be at least 125W for 8 ohm speakers, and at least 200W for 4
ohm speakers. Do not connect speakers rated at less than 4 ohm.
Note: Amp can drive speakers with nominal impedance above 4 ohms. Two pairs of 8 ohm speakers
wired in parallel are also supported. Don’t wire your speakers in series because it will result in
poor sound quality.
1. Remove the cap from the banana plug to reveal the connection hole.
2. Insert the stripped end of the speaker wire into the hole, then return the cap to the banana
plug to secure the connection.
Note: Connect the red (+) and black (-) terminals from each speaker to the corresponding
banana plug and terminal on Amp. Mismatching of polarities will result in weak central
sound and a distorted sense of sound direction.
3. Insert the banana plug into the proper speaker terminal on the back of Amp.
4. Repeat to install the other speaker wires.
Connect the power cord
