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.

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" (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.
