how many speakers can i connect to this? Hypothetically, if i had 5-6 speakers in just one zone, can i combine them in for this, or do i need 3 of these devices?

Please see the attached quote directly from the Sonos website and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) listing...."The Connect: Amp is designed for a single pair of speakers- it is a stereo amplifier, right and left channel. However, if your speakers are rated at 8 ohms, you can wire up to 2 pairs, or 4 speakers, to one Connect: Amp- you just won't have independent control between those two pairs of speakers, in terms of volume and music selection." The Sonos site can be found from this link...http://www.sonos.com/support#

we have 6 sets of speakers in our home and we have a 6 way. I set these up by hooking 2 lefts and 2 rights together... using 1 "space"..... I guess it would depend on how you want to use them.

That would depend on the source. Each speaker can only sync to one device. I am using a Synology NAS box as the source and it will allow me to simultaneiusly play to 3 different Bluetooth devices but they are independent playlists and not synchronized to each other.

You can have up to four sources connected to this system, but you can only utilize one source per zone. All four zones can access the same source or any of the other connected sources. One way to accomplish what you are trying to do is to install two zone controllers in the same location, on for computer and one for your mic. With this configuration each controller will require it's own set of speakers.

I figured out that I cannot configure my receiver to play music in 3 different rooms. With 2 rooms, I can configure it to play the same sound as well as different sounds simultaneously. Only catch is that when configured to play 2 sounds I cannot control volume in the second zone.ps: Wby sound(s) I mean sound sources

Thanks for the question. This 4 zone speaker selector actually has only 1 input. The output is to connect to another selector and then there are the outputs to the 4 sets of speakers. There are models that have 2 inputs so you can play two different sources at the same time in different rooms. Contact AV-Express for more information.

Yes but this should handle all of your speakers. Are you setting up more than 7?

You can connect all the left speakers together and wire them into the left speaker connection. Same w right. You can also pig tail each if you like. The system was built for 1 pair 1 zone, but people in the real world who want the benefits of sonos and don't have the dollars to do 1 zone per speaker pair do this all the time.Just note: 1 Sonos = 1 Zone. That is the price for the shortcut.

hi, i don't know as i only have one speaker. you might have to get a "bridge" to connect more than one speaker from one device.

If you are talking about using the Zone 2 on your receiver to power 4-6 other speakers you could but it would not be the best thing to do. one thing you have to make sure is that your speakers all have the same Ohm rating and that your receiver is capable with that that certain resistance. You would probably be safe with running 2 pairs of speakers but I would definitely not do 3 pairs. I would look into a 4 zone amplifier for that. Hope this helps!

You need to purchase a separate amp for your 6" speakers. I have two small amps driving 6 speakers, & the sub has its own internal amp. Even if you could use the amp to power additional speakers. You wouldn't want to do that.

Assuming your 2 speakers in each zone are in stereo, no. For 6 zones, you would need 12 channels (2x6), and this amp is only an 8 channel amp. If however you only had four zones, yes--this amplifier has individual inputs for each 8 channels but keep in mind that is does not provide switching so whatever device (input) is plugged into that 'zone' will be the one played--you can not switch inputs without plugging and unplugging cables in the back. If you wanted easy switching, you would need a seperate pre-amp/switcher kind of device to do that. (And to clarify for others, you can also plug in stereo inputs and the amp can internally cascade the same signal throughout all 8 channels (in stereo x4).

Ron, What I am trying to do is have these play at the same time as my zone 2 from my receiver. It alreasy has speakers wired to it and I was looking to hook it to them for the kitchen. Running wires to the kitchen isn't a help. Any thoughts?Thanks for the answer.

For "real" stereo, one speaker plays left and one right but one speaker alone sounds terrific to me. Go ahead and get one....you will end up getting another if you don't want to carry a speaker (though very light weight and not really a problem) from room to room.I think you will love one or two. I asked the company (excellent email response in less than 24 hours) about using more than 2 and that is not possible now but the company rep forwarded my suggestion to the techie types as a possiblity.aah

I speaker is sufficient. I'm not even sure you can link two speakers at a time. It sounds fine.

I would think not. I would imagine that the output on your device is not capable of handling more than one. Also I think you would have to think about the impedence of the speakers combined.

Idk I only use two speakers and mine works great. You might wanna make sure that all of your speakers are plugged in correctly
