Sonos Launches Amp Multi for Complex Home Installations
Sonos has introduced its latest product, the Amp Multi, marking the company’s first launch of 2026. This new amplifier is tailored for users with large or complex spaces, positioning itself as a professional-grade solution for residential audio installations.
Key Features of the Amp Multi
The Amp Multi comes packed with impressive specifications, designed to cater to high-demand audio needs.
- Outputs: Eight channels, each providing 125W.
- Configurable Zones: Four distinct zones for customized audio control.
- Speaker Support: Each channel can accommodate up to three Sonos Architectural speakers.
This level of power and versatility goes beyond what most typical home environments require. Indeed, even the standard Sonos Amp may be excessive for apartment dwellers.
Availability and Pricing
Sonos has announced that the Amp Multi will be available “in the coming months.” However, specific pricing details have not yet been disclosed on their website. Given the product’s high-end focus, it is anticipated that the Amp Multi will surpass the $800 price tag of the original Sonos Amp.
Sonos’ Recent Challenges
In recent years, Sonos has faced significant challenges, particularly following a problematic app redesign in 2024. This situation led to customer dissatisfaction and substantial corporate upheaval, including layoffs and the departure of the CEO.
Tom Conrad, who stepped in as the temporary chief executive, was officially appointed to the role in the summer of last year. As the company aims for stability, stakeholders hope for more positive developments ahead for Sonos.
Looking Ahead
As Sonos navigates its recent challenges, the release of the Amp Multi signals a commitment to innovation and catering to customers with specialized audio needs. Future updates from Sonos will be closely watched as they work to regain consumer trust and solidify their market position.
