Whole-home listening · Wireless and installed audio, planned together.

One home. Plenty of ways to listen.

Start with the rooms you want to fill with music. We’ll help choose the speakers, amplification, placement, and connections that make the system fit your home.

Wireless music throughout the home

Everyday listening · Room by room

Wireless music throughout the home

Use speakers such as Era 100 and Era 300 to bring music into the rooms where you spend time. Listen independently or group compatible rooms for music throughout the home.

We’ll plan speaker placement, power outlets, and Wi-Fi coverage. Stereo pairing and spatial audio depend on the model, source, and configuration.

Discreet built-in speakers

In-ceiling · In-wall · Out of the way

Discreet built-in speakers

Combine Sonos Architectural by Sonance speakers with suitable Sonos amplification for music that becomes part of the room. A useful route for renovations, new homes, and spaces where visible speakers are not the goal.

Built-in speakers require speaker cable and amplification. We’ll review ceiling access, speaker locations, cable routes, and independent listening zones.

Living rooms · Family rooms

TV audio that joins the system

Build around a Sonos soundbar such as Arc Ultra, then consider a compatible Sub and surround pair for the room. The TV space can also become part of your home’s music system.

We’ll check the TV’s HDMI ARC/eARC connection, mounting, power, and speaker compatibility. Grouped TV audio in other rooms can introduce delay.

Music beyond the back door

Patios · Porches · Outdoor living

Music beyond the back door

Extend listening outside with weather-rated Sonos Architectural by Sonance outdoor speakers and appropriately located amplification.

Plan outdoor speaker cable, mounting, coverage, and sensible volume around the space. Amplifiers and indoor wireless speakers need suitable protected locations.

Bring your existing stereo along

Sonos Port · Sonos Amp

Bring your existing stereo along

Port adds Sonos streaming to a compatible amplified system. Amp supplies amplification for suitable passive speakers, including speakers you may already own.

Port does not power passive speakers. We’ll confirm inputs, speaker loads, and any turntable phono preamplifier requirements before choosing the component.

Sonos Amp Multi · Installed audio

A larger installation, neatly integrated

For a project with several listening areas, explore Amp Multi: an installation-focused amplifier with eight amplified outputs and support for four zones.

We’ll specify the zone and speaker layout, equipment space, network connection, and installation scope. Ask our team about suitability and current availability.

Design the system around the home

Good sound starts
with a good plan.

Wireless streaming is only part of the system. Network coverage, power, speaker wiring, and equipment placement all influence how it works from day to day.

Rooms & independent zones

Decide where you want separate music and volume control, and which areas usually play together.

Wi-Fi & network design

Review the router, access points, coverage, and any wired networking before choosing component locations.

Power, cabling & placement

Wireless speakers still need power. Built-in speakers require cable, while racks need accessible connections and suitable ventilation.

Your existing Sonos system

List the models and the app you use. Older S1-only components need a compatibility review before a system is expanded.

From the first room to the whole home.

  1. Tell us about the home

    Share the rooms, equipment, existing wiring, and how you want to listen. Photos or a floor plan help us understand the space.

  2. Design the installation

    Compare wireless and built-in options, map the zones, and review network coverage, cable routes, equipment placement, and the quote.

  3. Install, set up & show you how

    Plan installation and setup together, then review room names, music services, grouping, and everyday control with you.

Before we start.

Does wireless mean there are no wires?

No. Wireless Sonos speakers still need power, and soundbars connect to the TV. Architectural speakers connect by speaker cable to an amplifier. We’ll plan those connections along with Wi-Fi or Ethernet, so the installation suits the room.

Can different rooms play different music?

Yes. Compatible Sonos rooms can play independently or be grouped for shared music. The number of independent listening areas depends on the equipment and zone design. Several speakers wired to the same amplifier output do not automatically become separate app-controlled rooms.

Can you add to my existing Sonos system?

Yes. Send us the product models and tell us which Sonos app you use. Some older components work only with the S1 Controller app, while newer products require the current Sonos app. We’ll review compatibility and discuss an appropriate upgrade or expansion plan.

Can I keep my existing speakers or stereo?

Often, yes. Sonos Port can connect a compatible amplified stereo to Sonos streaming, while Sonos Amp powers suitable passive speakers. We’ll check your equipment, connections, speaker load, and wiring before specifying the solution.

Should we talk before a renovation or new build?

Yes. Planning early helps establish speaker positions, cable paths, amplifier locations, power, and network coverage before walls and ceilings are finished. For an existing home, we can review wireless options and assess practical routes for installed speakers.

How do I get an installation quote?
