SONOS USER GUIDE

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

Attach the power cord and plug in Amp.
You’ll use our app to set up and control your Sonos system. If you don’t have the Sonos app, download it 

from your app store. Se

Connect Amp to your TV

Use an HDMI cable to connect Amp to your TV. When connected, Amp creates two front audio channels and 

plays your TV sound through your favorite non-Sonos speakers.

Note:

You may need the 

optical adapter

 too (the app lets you know).

1.

Fully insert the HDMI cable into Amp’s HDMI port.

2.

Connect the HDMI cable to your TV. You have two choices:

If your TV has an HDMI ARC port

, connect the HDMI cable directly to the TV’s HDMI ARC port.

If your TV doesn’t have an HDMI ARC port

, attach the optical adapter to the HDMI cable and connect 

it to the TV’s optical digital OUT port.

If your TV has an HDMI ARC port

HDMI ARC 

is a special port that looks like a standard HDMI port. Although they look the same, if you connect 

to a standard HDMI port,

 you won’t hear sound

1.

On your TV’s 

audio OUT 

panel, locate the 

HDMI ARC

 port.
