Know before you buy
While these speakers will work with most amplifiers, they are specifically optimized for the Sonos Amp. Using the Sonos Amp unlocks Trueplay tuning, which automatically calibrates the sound based on your room's unique acoustics.
Yes, the speakers feature flush, bezel-less grilles that are designed to be painted. This allows them to blend seamlessly into your ceiling for a discreet, custom look.
A single Sonos Amp can power up to three pairs of these architectural speakers simultaneously. This makes them a great choice for filling larger spaces or multiple zones with sound.
Trueplay uses the microphone on your iOS device to measure how sound reflects off your walls, furniture, and other surfaces. It then fine-tunes the Sonos Amp’s output to ensure the speakers sound their best in your specific room environment.
With a 100° nominal coverage angle and a maximum SPL of 113dB, these speakers are capable of delivering robust, room-filling sound even in larger or taller spaces. However, for very high ceilings, you may want to consult with a professional installer to ensure optimal placement.
Each purchase includes a pair of speakers, the necessary mounting hardware, and the paintable grilles. You will need to provide your own speaker wire and have the appropriate tools for cutting into your ceiling.
