Sonos Connect Overview

The Sonos Connect (Formerly the ZonePlayer 90) is designed to be used with an external amplifier. It contains both analog and digital outputs so you can easily connect it to your existing audio equipment.

Use the Connect to listen to music in a room where you already have an amplifier, such as your home theater system or the stereo system in your family room. Use a Connect to listen to music in your home office where you already have a computer or a pair of powered speakers or use a Connect if you have a distributed audio system that is driven from an amplifier in one central location with speaker wires home-run to this central location.
