According to Sonos, the big difference here is that the “Sonos Amp will automatically recognize the architectural speakers and optimize its output to bring brilliant sound right out of the box.” The In-Wall and In-Ceiling speakers will be the first third-party speakers to be compatible with Sonos’s TruePlay tuning technology.
Up to this point, you could’ve paired any passive speakers with a Sonos Connect:Amp (or Connect) to integrate them into your home’s Sonos system. The outdoor speakers have a weatherproof design, meaning they’ll have no problem handling “humidity, water, salt spray, heat, UV rays, and freezing temperatures.” The Sonos Architectural by Sonance collection features three different kinds of speakers: Sonos In-Wall by Sonance ($599 per pair), Sonos In-Ceiling by Sonance ($599 per pair), and the Sonos Outdoor by Sonance ($799 per pair). Also, they’ll need to be professionally installed. Instead of just plugging them in, connecting them to Wi-Fi, and then setting them up through the Sonos app, the speakers in the Sonos Architectural by Sonance collection will need to be wired to a Sonos Amp to work. The new collection is comprised of passive speakers, meaning they won’t work like traditional Sonos speakers on their own. They’re not exactly Sonos speakers, but they’ll work like one. Essentially, Sonos is going to be selling Sonance’s own speakers, or “a collection of installed passive speakers for indoor and outdoor use,” which have been specially engineered to work with the Sonos Amp ($599). The company, in partnership with Sonance, a reputable audio company that’s known for its in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, announced the Sonos Architectural by Sonance.
And today, we got to see exactly what that was. We’ve known that Sonos would be making an outdoor speaker for some time.
