How Many Speakers Can You Connect to a Sonos Amp Multi?
Sonos Amp Multi can power up to 24 compatible Sonos Architectural speakers from a single amplifier—but the maximum speaker count is only part of the story.

Sonos Amp Multi brings a new level of flexibility to professionally designed whole-home audio. With eight amplified outputs, up to four independent zones, and powerful tuning capabilities, it gives us more freedom to design audio around the unique needs of each space.
