Sonos CONNECT:AMP

5

Adding to an existing Sonos system

Once you’ve got your Sonos system set up, you can easily add more Sonos products any time (up to 32 
rooms). 

If your house has structured (built-in) wiring, you can make a wired connection to the additional Sonos 
products. If you don’t, our built-in wireless technology is ideal for you. 

1.

Attach desired speakers.

• Your speaker’s power rating should be at least 75W for 8 Ohm speakers, and at least 150W for 4 Ohm 

speakers. Do not connect speakers rated at less than 4 Ohms.

 

• Use your thumb or finger to firmly push the spring-loaded speaker connector post inward to reveal the 

connection hole.

• Insert the stripped end of the speaker wire into the hole, and then release. The stripped portion should 

be caught firmly in the connector post.

• Repeat to install the other speaker wires.

• If your speakers have banana connectors, you can insert the plugs directly into the banana jacks on the 

back of the CONNECT:AMP instead.

2.

Attach the power cord and plug into a wall outlet—make sure the 

Voltage Switch

 on the back of the 

CONNECT:AMP is set to the proper position for your country before applying power.

After a few moments, the 

Status indicator

 will begin to flash green (if this Sonos product was previously 

connected to another Sonos system, the Status indicator may be solid white instead.)

3.

Choose one of the following options:

• On a mobile device, go to 

More

 -> 

Settings

 -> 

Add a Player or SUB 

and follow the prompts. 

• On a Mac or PC, go to 

Manage

 -> 

Add a Player or SUB 

and follow the prompts.

Thick walls, 2.4 GHz cordless telephones, or the presence of other wireless devices can interfere with or block 
the wireless network signals from Sonos. If you experience difficulty after positioning a Sonos product, try one 
or more of the following resolutions—relocate the Sonos product; change the wireless channel your music 
system is operating on; connect a Sonos product to your router if your setup is currently wireless. 

Note:

Connect the 

red

 

(+) and 

black

 (-) terminals from each speaker to the 

corresponding terminals on the Sonos CONNECT:AMP. Mismatching of polarities 
will result in weak central sound, and a distorted sense of sound direction. 

 

 

When making connections, ensure that none of the strands of your speaker wire 
come in contact with an adjoining terminal on the rear panel.
