Sonos Outdoor Speakers - White

Product Information

The Sonos Outdoor by Sonance Speakers provide the same high level listening experience that Sonos speakers are known for with the ease of providing streaming music to your outdoor space. No, Sonos does not currently make any other outdoor speakers. These Sonos Outdoor hardwired speakers are specifically designed for outdoor use. However there is a company that will take your Sonos One speaker and waterproof it so you can leave it outside. How Many Sonos Outdoor Speakers Can Be Connected To A Single Sonos Amp? The Sonos Outdoor speakers are designed to work with the Sonos Amp to power the speakers and stream music from your phone and are paired with outdoor speakers. The pair of Sonos Outdoor of speakers is then hardwired with low voltage speaker wiring to the Sonos Amp that will then provide power, volume control and streaming music directly to the built in sonos speakers. The speakers are weatherproof, but without any official IP certification. Looking at Sonance, we see that the Sonance Mariner series is IP66, which means that they are completely dustproof and also can withstand strong water flushing against enclosure from all sides.

Wire all of your outdoor wiring to one common location like your basement, garage, or IT closet. This will allow you to pair up to 6 speakers on one Sonos Amp, and then upgrade with more Sonos Amps in the future to create more zones. If you have runs longer than 150FT then create two common closets for placing the Sonos Amp equipment and try to group the wiring by rooms that you would like in one zone. If you can’t wire the speakers though a soffit you and plan to drill through the wall you will need a long masonry bit at ideally 18” long like this one from Dewalt to get through the wall and hammer drill. I’ve used a Milwaukee 18V hammer drill to drill through masonry walls and works great it just takes a little more time and effort. You should plan on drilling between the grout lines to make going through the wall as easy as possible. One thing that should be noted is that you can connect 6 Sonos by Sonance built in speakers to a Sonos Amp vs you can only connect 4 Non-Sonos speakers to a Sonos Amp. So if you have a house with a lot of speakers in the long run you would be able to power 12 speakers with 2 Sonos Amps vs if you use non Sonos speakers you would need 3 Sonos Amps for 12 Speakers. Sonos Built In Speaker Review SummaryWhat I have noticed with built in Sonance speakers paired with the Sonos Amp is that they have great low range and exceptional clarity and are up to the task of providing great sound in the open outdoor spaces. The Sonance Outdoors speakers seem to do an exceptional job of filling outdoor spaces with clean, balanced sound from streaming media sources.

The new Sonos outdoor speakers are called Sonos Outdoor by Sonance and are precision engineered to work with the Sonos Amp to optimize the sound quality of the Sonos Speakers with streaming music. Yes, Sonos just launched their new lineup of outdoor speakers in collaboration with Sonance a long trusted name in built in and outdoor speakers. For yet another year, the Sonos multi-room system remains the best all-rounder.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2023 Product of the Year.

And then Sonos has done something clever. Instead of trying to make their own speakers, something many others probably do better than them, they have chosen a manufacturer to work with. Specifically, Sonance, which is widely known for recessed and outdoor speakers in all shapes, with high quality. Mariner-based The Sonos One is also designed for indoor space where the sound will reflect of the walls so it wasn’t the ideal solution for an outdoor environment with essentially limitless boundaries. The Sonos by Sonance Outdoor Speakers have the same high quality build as other Sonos products with the outdoor speaker engineering provided by their partner Sonance. The first time I listened to Sonance outdoor speakers paired with a Sonos Amp and I was truly impressed by the sound quality.If you already have hardwired outdoor speakers and are looking to replace them or your house is prewired for outdoor speakers you can wire the Sonos Amp in where the speakers terminate on the inside of your house and then install the new Sonos Outdoor Speakers where your old speakers or wiring was located. How to Wire Sonos by Sonance Outdoor Speakers If you don’t have vinyl siding or you don’t have a good way to route the wiring on the side of your house you can also use underground rated speaker cable and bury it so that it can't be seen. If you choose to use underground cable you should make sure you place it deep enough per your local regulations. With underground speaker cable it's best to place your Sonos Amps along your basement wall the drill through the wall 16" above ground to route the cable through your basement wall. We love that these two companies took their collective knowledge about sound systems and sound engineering and purpose built product to solve the challenge of selecting the right speakers, sound system and amplifier to maximize outdoor home sound quality. If you are planning on creating lots of zones it’s a good idea to get a wall mounted power strip with surge protection like this one from trip lite that will make it easy to power the Sonos Amp or other electronics.

If you already have indoor Sonos Speakers you know that they have great sound and the easy to use app interfaces makes Sonos the sound system of choice in many homes. Sonos also works with Alexa so you can make music play from your sound system by saying “Alexa, play music on outdoor speakers.” Sonos created a collaborative partnership with Sonance known as one of the best built in and outdoor speaker manufacturers in the world. Where Sonos’ In-Wall and In-Ceiling wall and ceiling recessed speakers enable automatic room correction (TruePlay) in the Amp amplifier, you get no such benefits with Outdoor. The only thing that happens when the amplifier detects that it is connected to this is that you are told that a Sonos Architectural speaker is connected, but no additional user functions appear in the app. But there is an impedance detection there, which connects an overvoltage protection and also allows the amplifier to drive three pairs of speakers instead of just two, as it is otherwise specified for. But acoustically, there are no benefits to pairing Outdoor with Amp. The sound of Sonos Outdoor The new Sonos Outdoor Speakers solve this problem. They are engineered for the outdoor environment to withstand the elements and engineered to provide sound in open outdoor spaces. The new Sonos Outdoor by Sonance Speakers are engineered to be fully compatible with the Sonos sound system and will deliver premium sound when paired with a Sonos Amp. The bass is so far full enough, and well balanced. But where is the control? Ariana Grande’s bass rhythms make the speakers flatten if you turn up the volume a bit, and a chamber orchestra does not get enough dynamics to engage. Sonos is beaten by Focal and simply crushed by B&W.With the underground speaker cable you can route it wherever you need it in your outdoor space as long as you bury it deep enough. The cable is small so you can typically make a very small cut in your yard if you use a shovel with a deep blade. Sonos Outdoor Speaker Review: Wiring Diagram With all of the wiring now run to common locations you can wire up each Sonos Amp with either, 2 , 4 or 6 Sonos by Sonance Outdoor Speakers. Remember each Sonos Amp is one “Zone” to add more zones you can add more Sonos Amps and connect the speakers you want in one zone to that amp. Outdoor sound has always been a challenge, because unlike speakers inside a home in an outdoor setting there is nothing for the sound to reflect off of like floors or walls inside a home, so with outdoor sound the speakers must be capable of delivering crisp sounds at longer distances. The Sonos Outdoor by Sonance speakers take all of the guess work out of the equation and you know when you connect them to the Sonos Amp you’re going to get amazing sound. Outdoor Speakers for Sonos : A collaborative Effort Sonos Outdoor Speakers by Sonance are rated for outdoor use and can be installed in locations where they will be exposed to the elements. Does Sonos Make Any Other Outdoor Speakers?

With the Sonos app you can always group or ungroup multiple areas to sync music with the touch of a button but having multiple zone control is determined by how many Sonos Amps you have in your system. One Sonos Amp = one group with anywhere from 2-6 Sonos by Sonance Outdoor or Built in speakers. To make your Sonos Outdoor speaker system future compatible you should do the following:As part of the Sonos Architectural range, the Outdoor Speakers work seamlessly with the Sonos Amp. Capable of driving up to three pairs of speakers from a single Sonos Amp, you can add acoustically matched speakers in the ceiling and wall, as well as outside. These speakers are built tough and can withstand humidity, water, salt spray, heat, UV rays, and freezing temperatures and are designed to placed outside and remain outside. At first glance it might seem like the Sonos by Sonance built in speakers are pricey but in reality for the audio quality they provide they are an exceptional value. Both Sonos and Sonance have been in the premium audio space for years and the Sonos by Sonance speakers provide the age old adage of “you get what you pay for” and in the case of Sonos that’s exceptional quality, and rich sound. Wire each speaker independently with a minimum of 2 conductor outdoor rated 14 gauge speaker wiring if you wiring run is less than 80FT and if your wiring is more than 80FT you should use 12 gauge wiring which will work with speaker runs up to 120-150FT. If you have a wiring run further than that it’s probably best to just dedicate another space closer to the speakers to place the Sonos Amps. Below we have two recommended types of high quality outdoor speaker wire in both 12 gauge& 14 gauge wiring. We recommend these two outdoor speaker cables because they have 2 conductors but they also have an outer sheath on them that will protect the wire for direct burial installations, and from UV degradation when the wire is exposed. With the sheath the cables are easier to pull in wall and will be more resistant to damage which can often occur durring installation. Yes, the Sonos Outdoor Speakers by Sonance can be used with your existing receiver or amplifiers for crisp clean sound. It should be noted that the Sonos Outdoor speakers are specifically designed to have optimized sound when paired with a Sonos Amp but they will still work great with other high quality amplifiers or receivers.
