Things to consider
This unit is best if you already have, or plan to buy, passive speakers. Unlike an all-in-one wireless speaker, it needs external speakers and speaker wiring to complete the setup.
Multi-room flexibility
9/10 - strong choice for homes wanting app-based audio control across multiple rooms within the Sonos ecosystem.
Portability rating
2/10 - designed for fixed installation with mains power and passive speakers rather than portable use.
Music quality score
8/10 - capable, full-system sound potential depends on the passive speakers you pair with it.
Smart home compatibility
Works best within the Sonos app ecosystem for wireless streaming and multi-room control.
Outdoor suitability
3/10 - better suited to indoor installations unless used in a properly protected custom outdoor speaker setup.
Key benefits
- Passive Speaker Power: Drives compatible passive bookshelf, floorstanding, or in-ceiling speakers so you can build around the speakers you want.
- Sonos App Control: Lets you manage music and TV audio from one app with easy access to multi-room playback.
- Multi-Room Audio: Adds your passive speakers into a wider Sonos setup so sound can be controlled across different rooms.
- HDMI ARC Support: Connects to compatible TVs for simpler home entertainment audio with a single TV audio link.
- Wi-Fi Streaming: Uses Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n for wireless music playback without needing a separate streaming box.
- Flexible Placement Use: Suits living rooms, media spaces, and custom installs where powered all-in-one speakers are not the right fit.
- Existing System Upgrade: Helps modernise older passive speaker setups by adding network streaming and app control.
- 125W Output: Provides 125W total output to drive a broad range of compatible passive speakers in home listening spaces.
Q: Do I need separate speakers for the Sonos Amp?
A: Yes. Sonos Amp is an amplifier, not an all-in-one speaker, so it needs separate passive speakers to produce sound. It suits existing bookshelf, floorstanding or in-ceiling speakers, which makes it a better fit for a fixed home setup than portable listening.
Q: Can this connect to my TV with HDMI ARC?
A: Yes. Sonos Amp supports HDMI ARC for TV audio, which gives a cleaner single-cable connection on a compatible TV. Your television must support ARC, and this model is designed to power passive speakers rather than replace your TV speakers on its own.
Q: Will it work with my existing passive speakers?
A: Yes. Sonos Amp is built to drive a wide range of passive speakers and has 125W total output for home listening setups. It is suited to bookshelf, floorstanding and in-ceiling speakers, but it is not for powered speakers that already have built-in amplification.
Q: What can I plug into the RCA inputs?
A: Sonos Amp has three RCA inputs for wired source devices that use an RCA connection. That suits line-level gear such as some audio players, but a turntable may need a separate phono preamp if it does not output a standard line-level signal.
Q: Is this better for music only or TV too?
A: Sonos Amp suits both. It can stream music over Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and also take TV audio through HDMI ARC on a compatible television. It is a better match for a lounge or media room than a simple music-only amplifier with no TV connection.
Q: Can it replace a full home theatre receiver?
A: Not completely. Sonos Amp is designed to power passive speakers and handle streamed audio or TV sound through HDMI ARC, so it covers many living room setups. It is not described as a full surround AV receiver with a broader range of home theatre connections.
