Sonos Architectural In-Wall Speakers (Pair)

Product Overview

The Sonos Architectural In-Wall Speakers are passive speakers designed by Sonos and Sonance for flush-mount deployment in commercial and residential AV installations powered by the Sonos Amp. Sold as a pair with a cutout template, they deliver Trueplay-calibrated audio tuned specifically for in-wall placement in conference rooms, boardrooms, and commercial meeting spaces. These Sonos Amp in-wall speakers integrate directly into the Sonos multi-room ecosystem, supporting centralized scheduling and zone management through the Sonos app. Paintable grilles allow the speakers to blend into any wall finish, making them practical for commercial deployment where aesthetic consistency is required.

Product Description

The Sonos Architectural In-Wall Speakers (model Sonos-Spk-InWall) are the result of a purpose-built collaboration between Sonos and Sonance, combining acoustic engineering optimized for in-wall cavities with full Sonos Amp integration. As passive in-wall speakers for commercial deployment, they require a Sonos Amp to function—the Amp provides both power and Trueplay tuning, which calibrates the speaker output to account for the acoustic characteristics of the wall cavity and room.

Each speaker measures 7.87 inches wide by 11.76 inches tall with a depth of 3.54 inches, fitting standard interior wall stud bays. The included cutout template (6.93 inches x 10.75 inches) simplifies rough-in during new construction or renovation, and each speaker weighs 4.61 pounds—light enough for single-person installation. The paintable grilles accept standard interior latex paint, allowing the speakers to match any wall color and integrate cleanly into finished commercial interiors without visible hardware breaks. For AV integrators, the Sonos Amp and in-wall speaker combination eliminates the need for a separate DSP or zone amplifier, since the Amp’s onboard Trueplay processing handles acoustic correction. This makes the Sonos Sonance in-wall speaker pair a time-efficient solution for multi-zone deployments where room count is high and commissioning time is constrained. Each package includes two in-wall speakers and one cutout template, providing everything needed to complete a stereo installation in a single room.

Key Features

• Designed by Sonos and Sonance — Purpose-built collaboration ensures acoustic tuning and mechanical design are optimized specifically for Sonos Amp-powered in-wall installation.
• Trueplay Tuning via Sonos Amp — Acoustic calibration runs through the paired Sonos Amp, compensating for wall cavity and room acoustics without requiring a separate DSP.
• Passive Speaker Design — No local power wiring required at the speaker location; signal and power are delivered via standard speaker cable from the Sonos Amp.
• Paintable Grilles — Grilles accept standard interior latex paint to match any wall color, maintaining a clean aesthetic in commercial spaces.
• Included Cutout Template — Simplifies rough-in installation for both new construction and retrofit projects, reducing layout time on-site.
• Compact In-Wall Profile — 3.54-inch depth fits standard interior wall cavities without requiring oversized or custom framing.
• Sonos Ecosystem Integration — Functions as a full Sonos zone when paired with the Sonos Amp, supporting multi-room grouping, scheduling, and app-based control.
• Pair Included — Package includes two speakers for a complete stereo installation in a single room.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the Sonos Architectural In-Wall Speakers require the Sonos Amp?

Yes. These are passive speakers and require the Sonos Amp for power and signal. They are not compatible with third-party amplifiers in the context of Trueplay tuning, though they can be driven by any amplifier with appropriate impedance matching. Trueplay calibration is only available when paired with the Sonos Amp.

What amplifier power is required for commercial room sizes?

The Sonos Amp delivers 125 watts per channel at 8 ohms, which is appropriate for most small to medium commercial rooms such as conference rooms, huddle rooms, and training rooms. For larger spaces, the acoustic requirements should be evaluated before specifying a single Amp zone.

Can the in-wall speakers be painted to match the wall?

Yes. The grilles are paintable using standard interior latex paint. The grilles should be painted before installation to avoid overspray on adjacent wall surfaces, and light coats are recommended to avoid damaging the grille material or affecting acoustic performance.

What is the rough-in cutout size for these speakers?

The cutout dimensions are 6.93 inches wide by 10.75 inches tall (176 x 273 mm). A cutout template is included in the package to assist with precise layout during installation.

How many speaker pairs can one Sonos Amp drive?

The Sonos Amp has a single stereo output and is designed to drive one pair of passive speakers per unit. For multi-room deployments, one Sonos Amp is required per speaker pair. Multiple Amps can be deployed as separate zones and managed together within the Sonos app.

Are these speakers suitable for use in commercial new construction?

Yes. The included cutout template and standard cavity depth of 3.54 inches make these speakers appropriate for new construction rough-in. For retrofit installations in existing walls, verify that wall cavity depth and stud spacing are sufficient before specifying.

What warranty applies to the Sonos Architectural In-Wall Speakers?

These speakers carry a Sonos limited warranty. For commercial AV projects, Creation Networks recommends confirming warranty terms for the specific installation type with Sonos, as commercial deployments may have distinct registration and claims processes.
