FAQ:

Q1. Does the amp need to be the Sonos Amp or would these work with others like Yamaha?

A1. You can use any Amp, but the Sonos amps recognize the speakers and have some special tuning protocols they use. They sound really great paired with a Sonos Amp.

Q2. Can you make a 7.1 surround sound system with Sonos in-wall speakers? Is that a supported setup?

A2. That is what I bought them for (back speakers in the ceiling). Took some balancing to get it “just right.”

Q3. Will they provide good quality sound for in-wall at 9ft to 11ft height in a two-story living room? If not, any recommended in-wall speaker alternative?

A3. They will fill the room just fine. I have an 18ft ceiling, and they fill the room.

Q4. I have a Sonos system throughout the house so if I hook these up to my old school amp, it'll show up on the app like my other rooms?

A4. Nope, they're just speakers. You'd have to buy a Sonos AMP and connect them to that.

Q5. Is a back box (acoustic enclosure) needed?

A5. No, everything you need is in the box.

Q6. Are the speakers paintable?

A6. Yes, the grills are paintable.

Q7. Is the price per speaker or per pair?

A7. Pair. In the item description, it states “pair of Architectural Speakers…”

Q8. What can I not use the rectangle (wall speakers) for the ceiling? I am trying to replace rectangle ceiling speakers, and these might fit?

A8. Wall (rectangle) speakers may be installed in the ceiling. World Wide Stereo is 41 years old and a proud authorized Sonos dealer.
