Sonos In-Wall Speaker (Pair) - White

A passive speaker is a loudspeaker that does not have a built-in amplifier. It requires an external amplifier, like the Sonos Amp, to provide power and drive the sound.

Yes, a Sonos Amp is essential. These are passive speakers and require an external amplifier for power. The Sonos Amp also integrates them into the Sonos ecosystem, enabling smart features like Trueplay tuning and multiroom audio.

Yes, the grilles are designed to be paintable. Ensure you use a thin, even coat of paint and avoid clogging the perforations to maintain optimal sound quality.

While it's possible to self-install if you have experience with home wiring and tools, professional installation is often recommended to ensure proper placement, secure mounting, and optimal sound performance without damaging walls or encountering electrical issues.

Trueplay is a Sonos feature that uses the microphone on an iOS device to analyze how sound reflects off walls, furniture, and other surfaces in a room. It then customizes the speaker's equalization settings to optimize the audio for that specific acoustic environment, ensuring the best possible sound.

Yes, when paired with a Sonos Amp, these in-wall speakers can be used as rear surrounds in a Sonos home theater setup, typically alongside a Sonos soundbar (like a Beam or Arc) and a Sub for an immersive experience.

1. Check Sonos Amp: Ensure your Sonos Amp is powered on and connected to your network. 2. Verify Wiring: Confirm speaker wires are securely connected to both the speakers and the Sonos Amp, checking for proper polarity (+/-). 3. Source Selection: Ensure the correct audio source is selected in the Sonos app.

1. Run Trueplay Tuning: If you haven't already, use the Sonos app and an iOS device to perform Trueplay tuning to optimize sound for your room. 2. Check Wiring: Ensure all speaker wire connections are tight and correctly polarized. 3. Speaker Placement: Verify speakers are installed at an appropriate height and distance from corners or obstructions.

1. Check Sonos Amp Overheating: Ensure the Sonos Amp has adequate ventilation and is not overheating. Move it to a cooler, more open space if needed. 2. Verify Impedance: Ensure the total speaker impedance connected to the Amp is within its recommended operating range (consult Amp manual). 3. Network Stability: A weak Wi-Fi signal can sometimes cause audio dropouts. Improve network connection if necessary.

The speakers themselves don't connect to the app; the Sonos Amp does. Ensure your Sonos Amp is successfully set up and connected to your Sonos system. Once the Amp is configured, the connected in-wall speakers will automatically be recognized as part of that Amp's audio output.
