Sonos includes a connection to a variety of streaming services (Pandora, Slacker, Rhapsody, Spotify, SiriusXM, etc.) so that you don’t have to connect your mobile phone or computer in order to have those services. The amp should automatically connect to WiFi (if available) during the app set-up.

You need to download the Sonos app and follow the in-app set-up steps provided. To get started, you will connect the speaker wire to the back of the unit and plug it into power. The Sonos Connect:Amp is the ‘brain’ of the entire system. Again, this step isn’t ‘hard’ per se, but it’s time-consuming. You may choose to tack the wire up against your house (this was my choice) or run it through a wall. At this point, you will run the speaker wire to your amp. When I heard the ‘click’, I knew they were locked in. I was able to use my shoulder to brace the speaker while I slid it into the bracket. Hanging the speakers isn’t difficult, but they aren’t particularly light so it can be a bit awkward. This seal keeps the speakers weather resistant.

You attached the wire to the clamps and then run it through a channel at the bottom of the speaker and out the back through a rubber grommet. The speakers have a spring clamp located on the front of the speaker. For me, I mounted them into our wooden siding with little problems.Īfter they are secured, you can snap the speakers into place, but you will want to make sure to run the speaker wire through the speaker first. Once you’ve selected the proper location for your speakers and amp, you can mount the brackets provided with the speakers. It will need to be placed somewhere out of harm’s way. You want to keep in mind that while the speakers are weather resistant, the Sonos Connect:Amp is not. Getting started, you will want to select the places you want to mount the speakers paying close attention to their proximity to the amp and your selected length of speaker wire. Overall, the system is not difficult to set-up. Weight: 14 pounds (total between all parts of the system).Ethernet ports: IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet), IEEE 802.3u (Fast Ethernet).Supported file formats: WAV, WMA, AAC, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, Apple Lossless.You will have to provide that outside of this packaged kit. If you read carefully through that list, one thing you will notice is the absence of speaker wire, which is required to connect the speakers to the Sonos amp. The system consists of the Sonos Connect: Amp, Two (2) Sonance Mag O6 Outdoor Speakers, xPress Audio Keypad, mounting equipment for the speakers, a power cord for amp, and a flat ethernet cable should you want to directly connect your Connect:Amp to your internet modem, router, or switch. The Sonos/Sonance Outdoor System comes well packaged in a single box with each part individually boxed inside. The first overall impression of the system was good. But, as I researched them and discovered that the entire system is part of the premium Magnolia brand family from Best Buy, I knew I was going to be happy with the quality that the system added to our home. This was my first experience with being a Sonos system owner and prior to this system, I had not been aware of Sonance as a brand. So, we decided to add in a streaming system from Sonos and Sonance.

In the past, we would take single Bluetooth speakers outdoors for entertainment, but as our gatherings have grown, those just aren’t a viable option because the crowd overpowers the single speaker. As nice as our patio has become, we have been missing one valuable piece of technology - a speaker system. Over the summer months, we usually have at least one get together with family and friends and we wanted a comfortable place for everyone to enjoy. We added a pergola, some inviting furniture, and a shiny new grill. A nice bundle of premium items that happen to be missing an essential part to make it whole.Ī few years back, we invested a lot of time and energy in sprucing up our back patio area.
