Removal of Bose Acoustimas replaced with the new Sonos Amp, Sonos subwoofer and Monitor Audio C165 ceiling speakers. New full copper speaker cable routed to amp. Subwoofer wireless to amp. HDMI ARC for TV audio and control. - Věda a technologie
This is EXATCALLY what I want to do. I have in my lower level family room(basement), a Bose Acoustimas set and I want to get rid of it and do this with Sonos. Great Vid!
*Love the sound and voice activation **Newest.Technology** feature. Set up was a little problematic and sometimes it connects to your phone totally unprompted but it's a solid system for the price.*
Just what you love to see, a customers £600 amp fasci being slid around a wooden floor covered in bits of wire and plastic off-cuts. The muck on the front of the amp when its turned back on its base. mmm don't call us, we'll call you.
I just ordered 4 pairs of Sonos ceiling speaker .. they cost fortune but I hope to the hear the best sound like never before 👍
It’s been six months, what do you think?
It’s been three years any updates 😂
Can I use the Amp to connect Sonos Arc to AudioEngine S8 subwoofer and AudioEngine A2+ Active Bookshelf speakers as the rear surrounds?
I’ve got Sonos beam in my garden bar and wanted 2 sonance outdoor speakers in the garden i was wondering how do the sonos beam connect to the amp ?
Hi pal..
I want to wire 4x sonos cieling speakers in dual mode back to the amp in the lounge. Also have a sonos sound bar, can I connect all this to the amp so it all plays from the tv?
So do you recommend these amp for a system audio for a bedroom?? I have 2 sonos one and i want to pair it with sonos amp to my tv for watch movies in my bedroom or i can also do that with sonos connect? Thanks a lot
Yes I recommend this. It will work well with your tv and connect via hdmi arc which will give you control of the amp through your tv. Also you can use it to play music with your tv off.
@@TellyDan thank you so much, one more question. The sonos one are connected wireless right? Also I can plug 2 bookshelf like monitor audio to have in total 4 speakers?
I’ve the same set up and I’m wanting to connect it to my tv where does the connector go in the back of the tv do you need a hdmi to something convertor ?
Hdmi if your tv has arc or you get a hdmi to optical converter for optical sound from your tv
TellyDan many thanks for your reply I will check these
What does the hdmi arc allow you to do compared to the already optical input
In this setup nothing. There's no difference as Sonos doesn't handle the higher res audio that hdmi provides.
In a proper AV setup HDMI arc lets you send a say Blu-ray player signal to the TV and have the audio come back through the same hdmi cable.
Ryebanana then it’s trash
@@Ryebanana Man i just bought a receiver and bluray but i dont know how to plug them to my TV, can you help me please? The AV has to be connected to the tv vía hdmi ARC and the bluray have to be connected to my AV via hdmi ?
@@jorgeluisfernandez2560 One HDMI cable goes to your TV (the input on the back/side that reads ARC). Connect the other end to HDMI Out on your receiver. Grab another HDMI cable for your Bluray, choose one of the HDMI input ports on the back of the receiver to connect your bluray player.
Change your TV's input to which ever ARC is on. Then do the same for your receiver by cycling through the input selector until you reach the source associated with your Bluray player.
@@Ryebanana Wrong !. The very simple answer is that it allows you to control the volume of the whole system using your TV remote (CEC). The only audio this amp does not handle is Dolby Atmos and DTS. Everything else is ok. HDMI arc has nothing whatsoever to do with a Blu-ray player. Sonos ARC however does handle Dolby Atmos.
What was the impedance of the speakers you used?
8ohms I think
What are the Ethernet ports used for?
Wired internet connection in and out. Apologies for the delayed reply
Would you recommend this for 3 front in wall speakers and 2 ceiling ones?
No you want a 5.1 av receiver for that really
Amazing Sound, entirely due to recent software upgrade
Where and how does the amplifier plug into your tv please ???????
Hdmi if your tv has a hdmi arc socket or if your tv has a head phone jack you can use a 3.5mm to phono lead
How many speakers can I run off one sonos amp same one you have there? Thank you nice set up you have there btw
its made for two but you connect 4 as seen here: support.sonos.com/s/article/4730?language=en_US
6

@@TheShazMC22 And a real cack way of doing it. The way Sonos connect 4 passive speakers is like something we used to do in the early days of hi-fi in the 70's and pretend we had a full surround or quad system. One day Sonos will just about get it right. If you stick strictly within their Eco system, a bit like Bose then you are ok otherwise branch out for true home cinema to either a decent soundbar setup (yuk) or a Dolby Atmos system (only if it is wife friendly though).
Connecting 4 speakers like that does NOT provide true stereo. Fronts and rears should be powered and controlled separately, so that the true surround sound can be experienced.
Can't believe you sat the front of the new amp on the floor without a cloth!
Stereo is left and right channel. Surround is multiple independent channels
Quite an expensive box and no doubt this is not something that can deliver 5.1 either but merely a 4.1 system that tries to do a good job the wireless way. Though if I am not mistaken you now have the speakers wired instead apart from the Sub. Deffo not for a surround freak like myself who has been into AV Systems since surround sound started in 1994 and HiFi Stereo since 1970. My guess is that this Sonos is not even capable of delivering the HD Lossless Audio formats via the ARC HDMI either and you do not get a lot for the bucks here at all. Still no doubt I bet it sounds good though and is better than a Soundbar which is something I personally would never use.
Though you certainly made a lot of work having all the speakers in the ceiling I will say and that would not suit my ears having them all in the ceiling either, especially for speaker placement which for me is extremely important. I myself have a couple of ceiling speakers which I had to mount in the ceiling when I switched from 5.1 to 7.1 well over a decade ago now, and had to have them in the ceiling to keep the wife happy cause she was fed up of all the speakers all over the place :))))).
I even had to dig out 2 inch channels from the floor up to where my speakers are located on the walls through the 5 inch reinforced concrete walls that are in my living room plus the for the backplate boxes for the speaker sockets and the main controller socket I had to set that 4 inches into the concrete wall just to keep her happy, and hide all the speaker wires. I fed all the speaker cable through 1 inch round trunking I fitted in the walls and even channelled them in the concrete floor from one side of the room to the other. It took me a good week to do the job and cost me over £400 in materials including the speaker sockets and the main junction socket that has all 14 speaker cables wired to it. I have speaker cables running through my walls, ceiling and floor and I am glad I have not got to do all that over again and I literally channelled through the concrete walls with a 1 inch wood chisel and a lump hammer and only occasionally did I use a drill LOL. You done a GREAT job here though I will say....
Jeez you work hard Lee. You should have made a step by step of your install. I'm like you I prefer a 5.1 at least sound system. This install was done to suit the customers wide lol. The sonos amp is intended as a stereo system. Sono is good for simplicity more than anything I think. I did do recently a 7.4.1 atmos install consisting of 4 floor standing and 4 ceiling with one in wall LCR which was awesome. Theres always a balance with everyone to compromise between sound quality and minimalism. Thanks for the support mate.
This just answered the question I've been scanning video after video for. How they handle surround sound.
Im guessing its still better to go for a stereo surround sound amp then.
TellyDan Was the customer happy with 4 ceilings all being powered by the amp?
Was there any delays between lips and sound for audio?
@@ElliottRecommends If he got a Sonos Play Bar or Sonos Beam and 1 more Sonos AMP he could setup a 5.1 system here just fyi
@@master_the_mind Why would they need another Sonos Amp for 5.1?
I have Sonos Arc (or you can have playbar as you mentioned), Sonos Sub, Sonos amp pushing 2 in wall speakers and I run 5.1 just fine.
very annoying to listen to the chewing of your chewing gum ...
I'll make a note of that for next time. Say no to gum
@SavageArfad lol
