Sonos Launches Amp Multi, an 8-Channel Pro Streaming Amplifier for Multi‑Zone Homes

The pro-focused release signals Sonos’s push to regain hardware momentum later in fiscal 2026.

Overview

  • The rack-friendly unit delivers eight amplified outputs at 125 watts each and can be configured into up to four zones, supporting as many as 24 Sonos Architectural speakers.
  • A GaN power design paired with Class‑D post‑filter feedback enables silent, fanless operation and sustained stability across extended use.
  • New ProTune tools give integrators granular per‑output control, including a 10‑band parametric EQ plus gain, width, and delay settings.
  • Sonos will sell the device through professional installation partners only, with global availability in the coming months and pricing yet to be disclosed.
  • Public demonstrations are scheduled for Integrated Systems Europe in Barcelona from February 3–6, and coverage notes the absence of Google Chromecast support.
