Sonos In-Wall Speaker (Pair) - White

Yes, as passive speakers, they require an external amplifier. They are specifically designed and optimized for use with the Sonos Amp, which unlocks features like Trueplay tuning and seamless integration into the Sonos ecosystem.

No, these are passive wired speakers. They require speaker wire to connect to an external amplifier (like the Sonos Amp) for power and audio signal. However, when paired with a Sonos Amp, they become part of your wireless Sonos system for control and streaming.

Yes, the grilles are paintable. It is recommended to remove the grilles from the speakers before painting and apply thin, even coats to avoid clogging the perforations, which could affect sound quality.

Trueplay is a Sonos technology (available when paired with a Sonos Amp) that analyzes the unique acoustics of your room using an iOS device. It then customizes the speaker's equalizer settings to optimize sound quality for that specific environment, ensuring the best possible audio experience.

While not strictly 'required' in all cases, professional installation is highly recommended. It involves cutting into walls, running wires, and ensuring proper acoustic placement, which can be complex for those unfamiliar with such tasks. A professional can ensure a clean, secure, and acoustically optimal setup.

The product includes a pair of Sonos In-Wall Speakers and their respective grilles. Speaker wire and the Sonos Amp are sold separately.

Absolutely. When powered by a Sonos Amp, they can integrate into a Sonos home theater setup, typically as front or surround channels. You can combine them with a Sonos soundbar (like Arc or Beam) to create an immersive wired surround sound experience.

1. Check Sonos Amp: Ensure your Sonos Amp is powered on and functioning correctly. Verify it's playing audio from the Sonos app. 2. Speaker Wire Connections: Double-check that the speaker wires are securely connected to both the Sonos Amp and the in-wall speakers, ensuring correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). 3. Input Selection: Confirm the correct input source is selected on your Sonos Amp within the Sonos app.

1. Trueplay Tuning: If using a Sonos Amp, perform or re-run Trueplay tuning. This process calibrates the sound to your room's acoustics. 2. Wire Quality/Length: Ensure you are using appropriate gauge speaker wire for the length of your run. Longer runs may require thicker gauge wire to prevent signal loss. 3. Source Quality: Check the quality of the audio source you are playing. Low-quality audio files or streams can result in poor sound. 4. Room Acoustics: Soft furnishings, carpets, and curtains can absorb sound, while hard surfaces can cause echoes. Consider room treatments if issues persist.

1. Firmware Update: Ensure your Sonos Amp and Sonos app are updated to the latest firmware and software versions. 2. Factory Reset Amp (Last Resort): If recognition issues persist, try a factory reset of your Sonos Amp, then re-add it to your system. Note that this will erase all settings. 3. Check Wire Integrity: Inspect speaker wires for any damage or breaks that might interrupt the connection.

1. Tighten Mounting Clamps: Ensure the speaker's mounting clamps are securely fastened to the drywall. Overtightening is not recommended, but they should be snug. 2. Wall Cavity Inspection: Check if there are any loose wires or insulation inside the wall cavity that could be vibrating against the speaker frame. 3. Speaker Seal: Confirm the speaker is flush with the wall surface and that there are no gaps allowing air movement or vibration.
