Sonos connect amp install9/12/2023 ![]() ![]() I have designed my network so that I have 3 separate segregated networks, on different VLANs. I have recently upgraded from consumer grade router to pfsense+unifi switch and AP config. I have a decent understanding of TCP/IP networking, but am by no means an expert. I recently purchased it, and now Sonos AMP is out, so I feel a bit unhappy about that, and I would likely have waited a little to purchase new unit. I know you said you wanted to avoid such a purchase, but that is obviously your call.Have a Sonos Connect AMP, and I love the quality of sound it generates with my own speakers, and now thinking of expanding system. I would use the C:A for music only and find whatever solution for TV sound best meets your requirements, whether that be the TV's own speakers, a Sonos Playbar, a conventional soundbar or soundbase, or a full-blown conventional wired home theatre system. (Well.a Bluetooth transmitter and receiver is theoretically possible but just don't go there.) The C:A isn't designed fundamentally for TV, but for music.Īs says, it is not a Bluetooth system at all and there is no way to get sound from your TV to the C:A wirelessly. Another reason for advising against using the RCA line in to C :A for the complete TV sound is the audio lag. My personal view is that ceiling speakers are rubbish for TV sound anyway because the sound comes from the wrong place. ![]() It is possible that it was used to provide the rear surround speakers in a Sonos home theatre setup, but I doubt it.

The connect amp does have "RCA" connectors. ![]() I'm not totally sure you can achieve what you want, but it partly depends on the tools you have to configure the solution. The Sonos system works over a wifi network (not bluetooth) and indeed the connect amps (like all the sonos audio speaker products) are wireless devices that typically source their audio from the internet or source files on the network and play it. If the app allows you to select a "room" and you select it only and only two speakers play something, then you can conclude that they are (if they are standard ceiling speakers of some type) connected to their own connect amp. and they would point you to how they are paired. In a perfect world, the sonos app you are using would allow you to select multiple/different speakers sets. (But one can never totally know what someone else actually did). I *think* it is unlikely they are all to the same connect amp. you will want to spend a bit of time confirming how the speakers are connected. assuming you haven't yet done some detailed digging. ![]()
