Know before you buy
No, these are passive speakers. They require speaker wire to connect to an external amplifier, such as the Sonos Amp, which provides both the power and the audio signal.
Yes. These speakers are IP66 rated and built to withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -13°F to 149°F, making them durable enough to remain outdoors year-round.
While these speakers work with most amplifiers, using a Sonos Amp allows you to unlock custom tuning features within the Sonos app, ensuring the sound profile is perfectly optimized for your specific outdoor space.
The speakers feature a pivoting woofer that allows you to direct the audio toward your primary listening area. For larger spaces, you can pair multiple sets or integrate them into a surround sound configuration to ensure even coverage.
They carry an IP66 rating, which means they are protected against powerful water jets and dust. While they are designed to handle rain, salt spray, and humidity, they should not be submerged in water.
