Why you will love it
Eight outputs, up to four zones
Sonos says each output can be assigned to any zone, so system design is flexible. Every output can be configured as stereo or mono.
Amp Multi plays Apple AirPlay 2 and Spotify direct control, and has two RCA analogue inputs and a USB-C input for a Sonos Line-In Adapter.
Tuned for the room
ProTune gives manual control per output: a 10-band parametric EQ with plus or minus 15 dB gain, gain trim, a delay of 0 to 50 ms and a high-pass filter from 15 to 100 Hz.
Sonos says that when Optimise Sonos Speakers is selected in the Sonos app, Amp Multi recognises Sonos Architectural speakers and applies custom tuning.
Rack mount or shelf
The compact chassis is fanless and measures 64.5 mm high. Sonos lists a 2U Rack Mount designed for Amp Multi, with a flat back design that slides onto the mount.
Sonos says it also suits a shelf, credenza or wall mounting.
