For music lovers, the In-Wall Speakers offer a rich, dynamic soundstage. With the Sonos Amp's Trueplay tuning, the speakers adapt their output to the unique acoustic properties of your room, compensating for reflections and absorption. This results in a balanced sound profile, regardless of speaker placement or room dimensions, making your favorite tracks sound even better.
As part of the broader Sonos ecosystem, these speakers (via the Amp) contribute to a seamless multiroom audio experience. Play the same music throughout your home for parties or choose different audio streams for various zones, all controlled effortlessly through the Sonos app. This allows for background music during dinner, high-energy tunes for a workout, or a captivating podcast while you relax, all with audio that sounds fantastic and is visually discreet.
Planning & Placement: Carefully plan the location of your in-wall speakers to achieve optimal sound dispersion. Consider ear-level height for primary listening positions and ensure clear wall cavities.
Wall Preparation: Mark the cutouts using the included template and carefully cut the appropriate opening in your drywall. Ensure no electrical wires or plumbing are behind the desired location.
Wiring: Run high-quality speaker wire from the speaker locations to the planned location of your Sonos Amp. Ensure proper polarity (+ to + and - to -) for both speakers and the Amp.
Speaker Installation: Securely mount the speakers into the wall cutouts according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically involving clamping mechanisms that fasten to the drywall.
Connect to Sonos Amp: Connect the speaker wires to the appropriate speaker terminals on your Sonos Amp. Follow the Sonos app's instructions to add and configure the Amp and speakers to your Sonos system.
Trueplay Tuning: Once connected, use the Sonos app and an iOS device to perform Trueplay tuning. This process analyzes your room's acoustics and optimizes the speaker's sound output.
Self-installation requires comfort with basic home improvement tasks. For best results and peace of mind, professional installation is highly recommended.
Sonos Amp: These passive speakers are designed specifically to be powered by a Sonos Amp (sold separately). The Amp provides the necessary amplification and integrates them into the Sonos ecosystem, enabling features like Trueplay and multiroom audio.
Standard Speaker Wire: Compatible with standard gauge speaker wire (e.g., 14-gauge or 16-gauge, depending on cable run length).
Cleaning Grilles: Dust the grilles regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, the grilles can typically be removed (gently) and wiped with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
Avoid Liquids: Do not spray cleaning solutions directly onto the speakers or grilles. Avoid exposing the speakers to excessive moisture.
Paint Maintenance: If painted, use a high-quality paint that is durable and easily cleanable. Avoid thick paint coats that could clog the grille perforations and affect sound quality.
Environmental Control: Keep the room's humidity and temperature within normal household ranges to prevent damage to speaker components.
