Then I picked up some of the Play 1 when they had a black friday sale - they are very good for areas I don't mind them being visible - like my kids bedrooms, their basement lounge and my home office. We have a mix in our house - I only wired in the main living areas + master bathroom and deck (and for those I use the Connect). I like the unobtrusiveness of the in-ceiling speakers as opposed to the regular Sonos speakers. smartphone, tablet, alexa 3) Your budget. The main determinants here are 1) How many rooms do you want to have the speakers in 2) What kind of controls do you want - local (keypads in the walls) or 'virtual' - i.e.
I don't think there's any way anyone can consider all factors and give reasonable advice from a distance. My suggestion - get a quote from an experienced home sound system installer to get your thinking going. Anyone can learn but then, how often does the familiarity get used? Less so for me because, as I said, it's been a long time hobby. It's not that it's complicated but choices have consequences and eliminate possibilities and it can be hard for some to keep it all straight. Having gone through it with others several times, I doubt if any of them can after the fact explain what they have and why. I've personally done several of the permutations for myself and for some friends and family. Sonos is a good shortcut - simplifies choices- but I don't think the sound quality is very good. The small, simple amps do offer decent sound quality for what they are. There are also cheap($100) small amps that can be used for each pair if sound quality and volume aren't a high priority. A surround sound box can be used (because each has 3-5 separate amps inside) but then individual location options and control are limited. That means they need their own sound source too, unless a line level signal is daisy-chained in a central location. Remember that each speaker pair (or each two, at the most) need their own amplifier.
SONOS CEILING SPEAKERS MANUAL
Do you expect to control the sound locations and devices wirelessly (phone, PC, tablet) or do you want controls to be manual or by IR remote, in a central cabinet, as nearby a TV set. Sonos or no isn't really the question, because you can have multiple Sonos sources in a central place to which speaker wires are run (star wiring) or you could have Sonos devices (with or without onboard amps) in different locations. Size of the house, sound sources you expect to use and sound quality you expect to hear, do you want the different locations to each play something different or each play the same one thing, or it depends, or ? The Sonos Architectural by Sonance line will also be marketed to custom installers, but do-it-yourselfers will be able to buy these speakers directly from Sonos and at select retailers.Your question isn't easily answerable. Their products are designed to disappear into walls and ceilings so that they’re heard, but not seen. Sonance is well known for building high-end architectural speakers and subwoofers that are marketed to custom installers. Sonos says outdoor environments are too variable to be conducive to TruePlay room tuning. The outdoor speakers are designed to be surface mounted and measure 6.86 inches deep, 12.14 inches high, and 7.51 inches wide (although the provided art indicates they can be mounted in either portrait or landscape mode).
The in-ceiling speakers have a coaxial design, with a 6.5-inch woofer surrounding a 1-inch tweeter. Buyers will be able to tune the indoor speakers to the rooms they’re in, using Sonos TruePlay and an Apple mobile device. Their white, paintable grilles measure 8-3/8 by 12-1/4 inches. The rectangular in-wall speakers will need 6-15/16 x 10-3/4-inch cutouts and 3-1/2 inches of depth.
SONOS CEILING SPEAKERS INSTALL
You’ll need an 8-1/4-inch cutout and 4-3/4 inches of depth to install the circular in-ceiling speakers (the white, paintable grilles are 9-3/4 inches in diameter). Sonos says each Amp is capable of driving up to three pairs of Sonos Architectural by Sonance speakers. The Sonos Amp is equipped with custom banana plugs that can handle 10- to 18AWG speaker wire, so we presume that’s also what the speakers can accommodate. The power-handling characteristics of the line reflects that they were designed to be paired with the Sonos Amp: 5 watts minimum, 130 watts maximum (the Sonos Amp is rated to deliver maximum power of 125 watts per channel into 8 ohms).
