Designed jointly with renowned manufacturers Sonance, the speakers are capable of delivering impressive sonic accuracy and dynamics.

Just thinking outside of the box :8Īll the above assumes the speakers can't be reached via BT.Comprising the Sonos AMP and a pair of high-quality, wall-mounted outdoor speakers, this system is aesthetically pleasing, robust and thoroughly enjoyable to hear. You would also run weather resistant Ethernet Cat5e from the Connect around the outside of your home to the boost (which would most likely require drilling to reach the boost ). This next part is a very big IF: If the speakers are not completely exposed you could run RCA weather resistant cable (see link) Line-in to the speakers from a Line-out of a 2nd Sonos Connect that is shielded from the elements or only use it when weather permits. You will require a Sonos Connect which may be a 2nd unit. I never imagined we wouldn't be able to set up for a powered wifi speaker outside if we wanted to expand. I guess I didn't do enough research when we bought Sonos. So the only solution is still to go bluetooth? other than running a cable and drilling a hole through the house. Sonos said they talked with installers regarding the design of the Amp, hopefully they consulted on this as well.

I would guess that this is mostly geared towards professional installations, where perhaps paying a premium isn't that big of a concern. The price does seem high to me, but again, little mention of the quality, or even dimensions for that matter. Sonos never said they were going to provide powered outdoor speakers, possibly with battery, but they did announce they were going to partner with Sonance for passive speakers. I get that it's not what you and many other posters wanted, but I don't see why you'd be disappointed by this. The speakers do allow for trueplay (not mentioned on the outdoor ones though), and I couldn't really tell whether they are worth the price. Quick and easy way out for Sonos, and not even close to what everyone has been asking for for years. They are really nothing more than what I have connected to my Connect driven receiver currently.

I've even used an Amazon Tap that way (mostly for movie playback since it has it's own music features, but it'd work just the same with a line-out from a Sonos)

Then pair portable bluetooth speakers to that and put them where desired. Otherwise if you want the convenience of Sonos' app or remotes then use the line-out from an Amp to drive a bluetooth dongle. And if you're pulling a speaker wire then a Connect Amp is the solution. Even passive speakers are going to need a wire pulled to them.

How do you expect the speakers to function? Because unless you use battery operated devices you're not going to make it work. They LOVE there SONOS, and they don't care what it would cost to have music in there courtyard area. All of them need a solution to this problem. I have at least 20 people with coral or concrete obstructions that prevent clean wiring pulls to use a connect amp remotely. I have many clients with televisions and other equipment outdoors. All of them have roaming networks or extenders that provide excellent reception in there out door living areas. Many of the properties I've connected with SONOS (as well as my own), have large outdoor spaces that are used 6-8 months of the year as dining areas or living rooms. I'm an owner and an installer of SONOS in Florida.
