Take a closer look at the Sonos Connect here: amzn.to/2AZl3fd
Sonos is already well known for its amazing sonos speakers, now you can bring cinematic surround sound right to your living room! Not only is the Sonos Connect Setup Simple but you can actually do it without running one speaker cable! This is the audio steamer for the money! One of the best features is that the Sonos Connect can actually be controlled through the easy to use Sonos App!

lol, came here to see how to setup a connect and found the entire process was skipped entirely, nice job
I was thinking the same thing.
Me too , all that talking was a waste of time . Where do I plug it up on my stereo?
Thanks for saving me the time.
You plugged it into the phono input on your amp. Nice to know someone who knows not even the first thing about audio is doing this review. Perfect.
hahaha
Why wouldn’t you - the point is you are using the Sonos onboard DAC to see how it performs instead of the Amps DAC or a separate DAC.
@@jamesdean8864 You don't plug it into a phono pre-amp, that's just audio 101

mheeeeen, the talking was just waaaaay too much and most were just irrelevant. I kept skipping hoping i'll hear something different.
I got this unit for $15 at a thrift store, looking forward to using it.
Good job in educating us on what this product is about. 👍🏻
Im glad it helped! I know this is one of those products that can be kind of confusing for some people.
Sonos is great when it works. A real pain in the ass when it randomly doesn’t feel like connecting for 0 reason. Which is like 50% of the time.
Very interesting. Has Sonos improved now? One year later.
@@brendanperreault3161 nope. Sometimes it works fine 50% of the time it claims it’s not connected to the internet leaving the music playing an no choice but to walk over and physically shut it down.
Doooo more Star Wars products like a collaboration with me 👍🏻 and I like those Travis Scott’s in the back
Hi,
I have a Sonos connect and use it for my pool area between April and September each year. The Sonos and my receiver for the outdoor pool speakers (episode speakers) and a episode receiver is what powers the speakers. For some reason this season after I updated the app and turned on the music it was playing on my app but nothing coming from the speakers. I noticed the connect has a red and white coaxial I guess it's called but I don't see anything on my receiver that works with that. Tia
I am having the same problem
Thanks for your video! Is it possible to use the Sonos Connect to create a Home video setup with 2 speakers (Sonos One or Play:1) and a wireless video projector (EPSON LCD EH-TW6700W) by connecting Sonos Connect to the Epson's WiHD transmitter using a digital to analog audio converter? That's what I've been advised but since have zero knowledge in home cinema or audio tech whatsoever, I'm not sure if it will work. I can't have a soundbar system in my apartment since the projection screen I'll be using will be placed in front of a window (with opaque curtains) with no place to put a sound bar directly under the screen. As I have been told putting a sound bar above the screen close to the ceiling is a bad idea, the only option I have left since I don't want to ruin the aesthetics of my living room is to fix the 2 speakers on the sides of the screen directly mounted to the wall, quite high up so they don't occupy too much of my wall space. Do you think this setup will work as it is? Thanks if you could help me!
The Sonos Port just released is supposed to be the upgraded version of the Connect. I’m thinking of getting that one.
That is a great option! I will be doing a video review of the Sonos port in the next week or two.
Awesome product!
Connecting your Sonos analog audio output to the phone input of your receiver, as per this video, should make for some rather interesting sound...
Do you need a sonos amplifier to run the remote wireless speakers when connected to an existing home wired system. And can you control volume with speakers that are wired and wireless simultaneously
Thanks. From the mobile app, when controling the volume, how does it manage to control the external amp volume? Meaning, how doed it control the volume of your pioneer amp seen at your video?
Thanks
I really appreciate your information about this product and it just reaffirms that I made a great choice in installing one awhile back. However, I am having an issue all of a sudden but, I’m not sure if it’s related to this product or not. I was hoping you could help? I am having a delay between my analog stereo components, which are connected to the Sonos connect, and my other Sonos speakers in another room. I have had it connected this way for well over a year and haven’t experienced this before. Any idea why now?
Awesome video thanks
I had 10 Sonos Connect streaming components installed by a professional. He taught me very little, was very expensive, and became difficult to work with, so I can't go back to him. Recently (after 3 years of use), one of the componets is now cutting in and out. The sound stops, then starts again every few seconds. Is that issue familiar to you and is it fixable? Or must I replace the unit? I can't even determine which component on the rack is the defective one. None of them are labeled
i thought you were going to hook it up to your system and showcase what it does? all you did was plug it into the phono in. you could have done a video of it in action.
He’s dumb
That's what I thought, and even he plugged it in phono input, which is not at all recommended,
Is the Sonos Connect compatible with the SL gen 2 speakers and if so how do you set them up to work together?
Hello, si it possible to connect this Device to m’y TV ? I already have 3 sonos speakers for m’y music.. i Want to watch tv With m’y speakers
same question from me
Thanks for video . Very helpful . Some reviews say you get feedback sound using the connect., Some say the sound quality isn't good. Do you still rate the connect to connect my amplifier cd player and record player. I have 3 Sonos speakers and sound bar in the house here in the UK chris
I have none of those issues with my connect. Using a stereo amp with book shelf speakers and a sub.
If you are still around, it's been three years - I have this unit set up using the Red and White RCA to Line In and I can only get a faint sound to come out, even when turning up the volume on my Sonos controller (App on iPhone) and on my external speaker(s). I have confirmed the speaker is working optimally. I have tried multiple cables with the same result. I have tried multiple speakers with the same result. Any idea what my other trouble shooting options are?
great video. how do i get my cable tv audio on the rest of my sonos speakers. that possible?
Great video! I have a projector with an audio output 3.5mm and I am trying to find the best way to stream audio from the projector to my sonos system. Currently I use Apple TV and airplay audio which works fine. There is a reduces audio level I notice but not a deal breaker. The issue is if I want to connect a game console to the projector now I can't airplay. My thought was to use this device to stream all audio from any HDMI source to the Sonos Connect, AMP, or Port. Any thoughts?
I had the same problem.
My solution was since I dont have TV, to use PS5 as main source of video.
So, PS5 >to> Projector i used HDMI(for image). And Optical-cable adapter to HDMI and connect the HDMI to Sonos Beam(for sound).
Happily my PS5 has Optical output for audio.
Works great! Didn't have to buy whole new device for that.
so you said that you can easily share your sonos app music to existing home theater... What about other way? Can you play whats in the tv or PC to HT -> sonos connect -> sonos speakers???
Can you play directly from Bluetooth? I’m trying to stream directly from TH-cam not TH-cam music is this possible??
I bought this SONOS CONNNECT 3 (?) years ago and never used it, couldn't return it. Found your video very helpful; I cannot get the Connect to be added to the rest of my Sonos speakers. It's plugged into the Orbi and plugged to outlet, pressed the 2 buttons, got the orange light but it doesn't see the product. Any advice?
Can you hook op the connect so it can play you music through the connect to the speakers?
Hi, I hope you can answer my question so long after posting your video. We have a Sonos Connect 15 and have never been able to connect it to our Harmon Kardon HK 3375. Can you help?
Hi thanks for this video I actually needed this info now how do I use it if I want to conect it to my home stereo receiver and that way I can add wireless speakers for my bedroom and bathroom my receiver its a Yamaha and has MusicCast but i like the sound of sonos can I connect any Sonos speakers wirelessly and here them along with my stereo speakers all at once ?
Ugh! Upgraded my wifi router and not I can't get it to recognize all of my Sonos products. Help!! Thank you!
Hi, I set up my Connect and see line-in adjustments under room settings, but no line-out
What is the optical port for? I am using the Connect as an input to an old (very) Bose system that is built in throughout my house and it works great. My old TV connected to my Bose System, so the audio output would go through the Connect and then the Bose speakers. I just bought a brand new TV and it only has a Digital Optical Output, USB, coax Antenna Input, Ethernet, and 2 HDMI input ports. Can the TV's Optical Output connect with the Optical port on the Connect so that the TB's audio output goes through my Connect and then through the Bose system?
I own a home that was built with a ZON home house audio system and the controllers have begun to crap out. I have had numerous audio people come to the house and give me a hundred different ideas to make my current audio system (speakers in the kitchen, out side in the screen porch, pool, and living room, and 4 bedrooms and the game room in the lower level. A side note, I rent my home allot and want something that would be easy for renters to use and not screw up or spend time calling my rental company. Please advise the best you can....
I have a connect and it’s great but can I connect the coaxial output On the Connect to normal non Sonos speakers to extend my music system or do I need the connect amp for this? Trying to connect to Cambridge yo yo m speakers but cant work out how to get sound out of them and no advice on the net.
You ever get this done ? How did you do it?
So I have a question. I'm not familiar with Sonos products, and hopefully I can receive a straight answer.
My personal client has a pair of Sonos Play:1 speakers. I need to "connect" them to either her TV or her stereo receiver. Would this be the "bridging" device that I can use to connect the stereo receiver to the Play:1s?
Have an old pioneer rack system bought the connect amp to play my old lps but can't connect. The cd player works with RCA cables and plays over my sonos system as does spotify any ideas please ..
You can also use the second Ethernet port to daisy chain other Sonos connect
Sonos is the brand
Out of the box x Sonos collab? 🤔
I was looking for a setup guide and found an advertising torture.))
AND THE CABLE RCA CONNECTIONS TO THE AMP FROM THE WHITE BOX?
Can I my Sonos Connect to play CDs through my entire Sonos system? If so, how do I hook that up. I currently use the phono jack on my old Nakamichi amp to stream through my Sonos speakers. Thanks, Peter
That Data Dash channel intro lol
Can it work with You tube music premium? also a little concern about the connectivity issues, It seems that BT is more reliable isn't it?
Will this bridge the gap between a TV that's not a smart TV and a pair of Sonos One to make it sound more high-quality
We bought a house that has a sonos speaker setup, 4 kitchen ceiling speakers and two outdoor speakers. They said I need two amps to run all 6 or I guess one to have music on the four kitchen speakers. Would this connect do that? Or do I still need Amps?
Plug it in phono (vinyl) jacks ? ? ?
Great video thanks for the info
Thank you for checking out my channel!
I'm trying to set line-out as "fixed" and it doesn't show line-out at all
Still you missed to explain what it is 🤔
it's an amp, like it says in the title....
@@mclainwm It's not an amp though! It's an audio player. You can't plug speakers into this, it doesn't amplifier anything.
Can this connect to my in wall speakers without going through a receiver? And which speaker wires go in the white slot. My speaker wire is labeled black and red
I have a Sonos beam and a S1. I want something that will connect my Samsung wireless soundbar and woofer. Will this slow me to accomplish this
I am trying to connect a mono preamplifier and amplifiers to our Sonos connect. I also want to be able to switch between analog/mono system and our Sonos surround system. I cannot figure out how to connect my mono system to the Sonos app/system. I had the Sonos connect previously to our mono through our laptop. But for some reason I cannot get both systems operating.
Mine will not connect even after a factory reset. Tried ether net connection hoping an update might kick in for me to get this to connect through the Sonos spp. Not sure what to next because the app cannot find the sonos connect device.
This review seems pretty out of date! This thing is maybe 8 years old and they are going to release a new one soon. They already updated the connect amp
I will absolutely be reviewing the newest model ASAP! Thank you for watching!
I have a sonos connect app. The Sonos system is supposed to play in 2 zones, but there is no audio coming to the second zone. Any thoughts?
I don’t have a amplifier. Do I need that in order to use this product? I’m trying to connect to my existing two sonos speakers and 2 outdoor klipsch speakers. Please help!
So what are the steps reconfiguring a SONOS connect? We have a client that has a bunch of these devices at there large MANSION. At last count we see 12 controllers.We will need to get a new IPAD to set up as well..
I'm having a new home built and the builder is trying to sell me on the sonos connect as part of the technology package for the home. I'm having them hard-wire in speakers in several rooms and on the back patio - this set up comes with a control panel as part of the package. I'm confused on why they're pushing to include the sonos as part of this. Would the control panel they're including not accomplish the same thing as the Sonos? Any help is appreciated.
How long do you expect Sonos to continue to support the Sonos Connect Amp? Does it work with Amazon Prime Music?
One year later. Do you have your answer?
@@brendanperreault3161 nope. Never looked into getting the amp as it was too much of a gamble.
How to connect Sonos connect to my ceiling speaker
Is it possible to create a 5.1 surround set with the sonos connect when the sonos connect is connected with a receiver that has two front speaker, a middle speaker and subwoofer and add two wireless sonos speakers for the surround effect?
Bart Waalwijk Great question! Unfortunately, you cannot use Sonos wireless speakers for the rear channels of a conventional receiver, fed via a CONNECT's Line-In. The ~75ms delay through the Sonos system makes this impossible. The only way to use sonos play speakers as a rear channel would be in sync with a sonos beam or play bar. With that said The sonos connect is still an extremely useful addition to any A/V setup and will give you that great sonos user interface while streaming music over your hardwire setup!
Out Of The Box thank you!
I have a client that I have had to visit his home to reconnect his Sonos products after getting better wifi components in place. Everything is now connected but it was done but an electronics store some time ago so I am discovering as I go. My question is: Both sets of RCA jacks are occupied and the clients profile shows two play ones kitchen left and kitchen right. Did the play ones ever have rca connections or are these possibly in ceiling speakers that I will need to find. Again I have connected the app to the Sonos amp and when I play a song I can see the meter but have no sound. Thanks!
Same thing i have!
Do these still work in 2022?
Hi can I get sonos connect to connect to my TV with two sonos one gen 2 speakers?
I want to know also
I didn't see how to use Sonos Connect in the Sonos app. I've added the device and see it. But I still have no sound on any of the Sonos speakers when I try to stream my old stereo through the Connect. I have a old NAD receiver and used the tape output from the NAD to the Connect line in. What am I missing?
Is the Sonos connect compatible with Sonance s623tr?
why on earth did you plug this thing into the phono inputs on your receiver????
What are the uses of the optical audio out for Sonos connect? Can this optical out be used to connect old Sonos play bar optical in?
I think you can use it also for Sonos Beam if you have the Optical->HDMI adapter.
I have a Sonos connect that someone installed when they put in speakers on our patio. It worked for a few months, and now we can’t get it to connect or even be found on the app.
Hey mate love your vids, could this Sonos connect connect to a existing powered subwoofer? No reciever or anything just straight into the back of the subs RCA inputs. Thank you
No, you really do need need a 2 channel amp at least. Prob like 30 bucks. Plus it would allow you to add some mids. Just set up my sub that way with 2 book shelf speakers. Sounds amazing.
While I appreciate you taking the time to make this video you talked for 15 minutes and said absolutely nothing. I’m going to have to search for a better instructor on how to set up my Sonos.You repeated yourself six times saying nobody really knows what this thing will do or how to do it but not one time did you give that answer. Sorry bro,
I have 3 pairs of speakers.... Boss connected to sonos by wire. One speaker out of every pair just stopped working and I can't figure out what to do.. help appreciated.
How do I know if a used Sonos amp is S2 compatible?
The most obvious sign is the top button on the front panel. S1 unit has a “mute” button while S2 units has a “play/pause”. True for both Connect and Connect:Amp
Hello, how to connect sonos connect with the dj mixer? I want to play music from dj to sonos speakers.. thanks
Can I connect two play ones to this?
I bought an Onkyo receiver and I have a Sonos connect, 2 Sonos Ones, and a cable box. How do I get the audio from the TV (i.e. a TV show that I'm watching on cable) to play through my Sonos One speakers? I've followed the instructions, tweeted with Sonos support and nobody seems to know the answer, would be great to have this work.
Yes I am trying to get the same result. I have Yamaha reciever and I would like to use my receiver radio channels to be broadcasted thru my sonos speakers
Can i connect my sonos amp to my Samsung series 7
What does SONOS do? Still clueless even after watching the video. Just a digital streamer? That needs a hardline connected to the router?
Thanks for the awesome review this was exactly what I was looking for!
I really appreciate you letting me know! Thank you for checking out my channel!
What Sonos app should I use?
Ive bough one of these 2nd hand and am trying to add it to my existing sonos so i can play a record player through the nextwork. The Gold Sonos app (sonos2?) won't pick it and this is what currently runs all my equipment and i saw something online that it may not be compatible and i should use the sonos 1 app then watched this video and disccovered the sonos connext app (black one) and not sure what this does. IT can see everything on my network but again cant see the new connect? IM very confused
To work with your SONOS S2 App, you need to have a SONOS Connect Gen 2. Connect Gen 1 will not work with the S2 App. support.sonos.com/s/article/4786?language=en_US
it’s works only with sonos speakers? tks
No, you can use any brand of speakers with this pre amp!
Hello, im having trouble with sonos conection. Installed a Sonos Boost and other 6 Sonos conect, but im having constant conectivity problems. I get a msg that says Unable to play-Song Name - networkspeed insufficient to mantain play backbuffer. I have it wired
Help !!! I have had my sonos connect for many years now, recently we've had many connection issues coming and going but now I can not connect at all. I've probably tried so many ways nothing is working anymore. Currently I have uninstalled the app from my phone. Please help me get my music back
Changed wifi router and can’t connect back. I’ve hard wired back to new router and the rest of wireless speakers are working. I’ve used the Finding missing product flow and can’t seem to find it. Any tips?
I have the same problem, did u fix it?
Whats the difference between Sonos conect and the Sonos Amp?
The Sonos connect does not have a built in amplifier. So you would only use this product if you already have an amplifier. The Sonos connect amp. Is an all in one solution that does not require an additional amp to power your speakers. For example you would use the Sonos amp if you were starting from scratch.
The Sonos S2 app is not recognizing my connect any suggestions?
I could be wrong but I don't think it's compatible with the new app. I'm quite sure you have to use the original app in order to keep functionality.
What do I need as device to use wifi ?rooter is too far for using a cable
Hey buddy I have went Sonos crazy last month but my app or password went bad the app don’t operate the same I want to go app less from now on if possible thanks
You would not plug in to the Phono input, I recommend aux In or CD In.
oups :p
can you plug it in a power amp directly?
You connecting to a phono (equalized high gain pre amp) input, makes me think you are not as tech savvy as you think you are...did you actually use it and did it sound bassy and distorted?.
hello, lost the audio cables where I can get them. thanks
Search for rca cables on Amazon for the red and white cables with metal connectors on the end and speaker cable for the bare cabling
He has to admit he has admitted a lot!
You failed to explain how to connect the wires. You just plugged the wires in . That it!
Basically, For a simple person what does the product do..
you know after watching this whole video I asked myself the same question. At no point did he clearly explain what this product does. It was an unboxing video but what does it actually do??
I thought I didn’t get it because I’m not native english speaker, looks like no one understands... 😆
Connects existing hifi kit to Sonos App.
It is my understanding that it incorporates your current Sonos Speakers to your conventional home speakers, allowing all of you speakers or some depending on what you want to do to play at the same time.
My Sonos Connect CANNOT CANNOT CANNOT stop blinking white. I cannot get it to connect to my WiFi. I cannot get it to blink orange or green. I have spent so many HOURS (not kidding.... HOURS) trying to get this to work. My other Sonos speakers are working well with my phone app and with my WiFi. Could it just be broken? I did not drop it, no trauma, no accident. I cannot figure this out. I have been on Sonos twitter and trying so many re-connect "tricks" - nothing is working. Any suggestions?
5:50 looks like your sacrificing quality between 2 things.
1 - Speaker Wires
2 - If it were me, i would ditch the rca connectors and use Optical 2nd channel
Took forever!
