Sonos streamer in a tough outdoor amplifier/enclosure

Sonos Port
Sonos Port: The Sonos Port is a network audio player that can be used to add Sonos capability, with support for wireless multiroom audio streaming from a variety of online music services and AirPlay 2, to your existing home entertainment system that features a free analog or digital audio input. The Sonos Port is outfitted with a stereo analog RCA output and a digital coaxial (RCA) output to connect the network audio player to your existing stereo integrated amplifier, AV receiver, or powered speakers. You can set the stereo analog RCA output to fixed or variable, so you can adjust the volume level from your connected amplifier or the Sonos Port.
Sonos Wireless Multiroom Audio Eco-System: The Port is part of the Sonos wireless multiroom audio eco-system consisting of a family of wireless network speakers, players, and amplifiers. Start with a single Sonos product and add more Sonos products over time. With multiple zones, you can play the same or different songs in different rooms of your home. Compatible distributed audio sources include internet radio, online music services, local network music libraries, as well as hardwired inputs. Up to 32 Sonos devices and 16 groups can be connected in one system. The Sonos Port is compatible with the new Sonos S2 operating system (OS) and the older Sonos S1 operating system (OS).
- Sonos S2 OS Compatible Products: The Sonos Five, One SL, Roam, ARC, Beam (Gen 2), Sub (Gen 3), and any Sonos products released after May 2020 will only be compatible with Sonos S2.
- Sonos S2 and S1 OS Compatible Products: The Sonos Play:1, Play:3, Play:5 (Gen 2), Playbase, Playbar, Connect (Gen 2), Connect:Amp (Gen 2), One (Gen 1/2), Beam, Amp, Port, Boost, Move, and Sub (Gen 1/2) support both Sonos S2 and S1 operating systems.
- Sonos S1 OS Compatible Products: The Sonos CR200 Controller, Zone Player, Bridge, Connect (Gen 1), Connect: Amp (Gen 1), and Play: 5 (Gen 1) will only support the older S1 operating system.
Notes:
- If you have have both, older "legacy" Sonos products and newer Sonos products in your system, you have the option to create two separate eco-systems - one that will be controlled with the older Sonos S1 controller app and the other that will be controlled by the newer Sonos S2 controller app.
- Click here for more information regarding Sonos "Legacy" S1 versus the new Sonos S2 Operating System and App.
Mounting Options: The Sonos Port can simply be placed on top of stable flat mounting surface; such as a shelf, table-top, or piece of AV furniture. It is designed to be mounted horizontally (not vertically). You can fit three Port devices across a standard rack and take up only 1 rack unit of vertical space. There should be at least 2" of space around the Port for adequate ventilation. The Sonos Port does not wall-mount.
AC Power Adapter: The Sonos Port comes with an external AC power adapter that will plug into the back of the network audio player and into an AC power wall outlet or surge protector (sold separately). The external AC power adapter features an attached 6.5' cord.
Two Ways to Connect Wirelessly: In order to enjoy internet radio, online music services, your local network music libraries and Apple AirPlay 2, you'll need to connect the Sonos Port to your home's wireless network router and ISP (internet service provider). Sonos brings your great sounding music wirelessly to any room in your house, without a big wiring project through WiFi or its SonosNet mesh network.
- WiFi Wireless Network: Sonos can also operate over your home's existing WiFi network (802.11 b/g/n/ac; 2.4/5GHz). Because you are connecting wirelessly to your home's existing WiFi network, you do not need to hardwire a Sonos Boost to your router/modem. The Sonos system's wireless range will be dependent on your home's existing WiFi network. Sonos products manufactured after March 2014 are loaded with the proper firmware and ready to go out of the box for WiFi connectivity. All Sonos products manufactured prior to that date will require a wired connection to facilitate a firmware upgrade and hereafter they will be able to work over WiFi.
- SonosNet Wireless Mesh Network: Sonos can utilize its own SonosNet proprietary wireless mesh network technology to provides superior wireless range for whole-house coverage, ensure synchronous music playback, and avoid sources of wireless interference. The transmitting range of the Sonos wireless system is approximately 100', depending upon your home's layout. In addition to the Sonos Port, you will need a Sonos Boost (sold separately) connected to your network router/modem via a Ethernet cable.
Notes:
- You cannot connect the Sonos system via both the SonosNet proprietary mesh network and WiFi; you will need to choose one. Sonos recommends using its proprietary SonosNet wireless mesh network over WiFi when applicable.
- The Sonos proprietary mesh network will provide a more secure wireless connection with fewer interruptions for optimum performance.
- WiFi is subject to greater interference from other WiFi and 2.4GHz or 5GHz devices on your network.
Ethernet Port (10/100 Mbps): In addition to its built-in SonosNet Wireless Mesh Network and WiFi, the Sonos Port is also equipped with one Ethernet port (10/100 Mbps). Use it to wire directly to your router to operate Sonos if WiFi is unstable, or use the Ethernet port to provide Internet accessibility to non-wireless devices if you're using a SonosNET Boost setup.

Notes:
- The Sonos Port is also compatible with the older Sonos S1 Controller app, if you have older Sonos "legacy" gear already in your home.
- Some older Sonos products ("legacy" products) will not support the advances of the S2 app due to their memory and processing power. If you own any of these products, you can continue to use your system as you do today. See System Requirements for more details.
Optional Voice Control: You can control your Sonos system through any Alexa or Google Assistant enabled device (including the Sonos One, Sonos Beam, Amazon Echo, and Google Home - all sold separately). Specific control functions will vary by digital voice assistant.
- Amazon Alexa: You can ask Alexa to play music on a specific Sonos device in a specific room of your home from these featured music services (Apple Music, Amazon Music, TuneIn, Pandora, iHeartRadio, SiriusXM, & Spotify). Using the Alexa app, you can group your Sonos products and your Alexa-enabled devices together. This makes it easier for Alexa to control your Sonos products based on which room or area they are in. You can pause, resume, and skip songs, as well as change the volume with all Sonos compatible online music services. Click here for more information regarding Amazon Alexa on Sonos.
- Google Assistant: You can ask Google to play music on a specific Sonos device in an specific room of your home from these featured music services (Google Play, Spotify, YouTube Music, Pandora, Deezer, Tidal, TuneIn, and iHeartRadio). You can pause, resume, and skip songs, as well as change the volume with all Sonos compatible online music services. Click here for more information regarding Google Assistant on Sonos.
Notes:
- The Sonos Five does not have a built-in microphone for voice control. A separate Alexa or Google Assistant enabled device is required and sold separately for voice control.
- You can only configure your Sonos system to work with one digital voice assistant; choose either Alexa or Google Assistant (you cannot use both). You will need to search and enable the Sonos skill from the Alexa or Google Home app on your mobile device or computer. Your Sonos equipment and Amazon Alexa-enabled devices must be on the same wireless network.
- Sonos and Alexa or Google Assistant work together using a single Amazon or Google account. If you have a second Sonos system in another location, you'll need to use a second Amazon or Google account if you'd like to use Alexa. An Amazon or Google account can only be in use on one Sonos system at a time.
12V Trigger Out: The Sonos Port is outfitted with a 12V trigger output that consists of a 3.5mm jack. This 12V trigger output automatically turns on your connected amplifier to more reliably initiate playback.
Automatic Updates: The Sonos Port supports free automatic software updates so you will always have the newest features and music services to enjoy. Simply register the One and Sonos will automatically notify you when software updates are available through the Sonos Controller app. By simply pressing one button your system updates itself. The Sonos Port must be connected to your home network and the internet for automatic software updates.
Internet Service Provider: You'll need a high-speed, wired internet service provider connection such as cable, fiber, or DSL. Wireless internet connections such as satellite, mobile hotspots, or 4G LTE routers can experience delays between the internet connection and Sonos and are not supported. Using these types of connections can cause music to not play, skip, or cut out completely.
Wireless Setup: All Sonos products support 2.4GHz WiFi (802.11 b/g) and Open, WEP, and WPA/WPA2 Personal WiFi security standards. Some newer Sonos products support dual-band 2.4/5GHz WiFi (802.11 b/g/n/ac) and WPA3.
- The network must not contain enterprise access points that have been configured to require certificates or other forms of enterprise authentication. If you are using multiple access points, make sure they are all set to the same 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless channel.
- Networks using wireless range extenders are known to cause issues with Sonos systems that are configured in a wireless setup. If you need to extend your home WiFi to use Sonos in a wireless setup, we recommend using a WiFi mesh router to do so.
- Sonos cannot connect to guest networks or networks that use a Port page to login.
Wired Setup Requirements: A Sonos system operating in a wired setup will require one of your Sonos products to remain connected to the router via Ethernet cable at all times. If your Sonos system is in a wired setup and you use a WiFi mesh router with multiple wireless nodes, we recommend wiring your Sonos product directly to the primary wired mesh node. Avoid wiring any Sonos products to the wireless mesh nodes. If you are on a corporate or advanced network, it must not block Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
Note: Ethernet over Power devices (also known as HomePlugs or Powerline adaptors) are not supported by Sonos. While they may work for some systems, they tend to cause intermittent problems with Sonos. EoP adapters create an added delay between your network and Sonos. If the internet connection is too slow or the delay is too great, it can cause your music to skip or cut out completely or your players to drop off from the network.
Sonos S1 or S2 Controller App: Sonos offers a Sonos Controller app for Apple iOS 11.0+, Android OS 7.0+, Mac OSX 10.11+, and Windows 7+. The Sonos S2 is a new app and operating system (OS) that powers the next generation of products and experiences. In addition to new features, usability updates, and more personalization moving forward, Sonos S2 enables higher resolution audio technologies for music and home theater. Most Sonos products are compatible with S2. Some older Sonos "legacy" products will not support the advances of S2 due to their memory and processing power. The older Sonos "legacy" app is referred to as the Sonos S1 app.
- Sonos Products That Support the Sonos S1 and S2 Controller App: Play:1, Play:3, Play:5 (Gen 2), Playbase, Playbar, Connect (Gen 2), Connect:Amp (Gen 2), One (Gen 1/2), Beam, Amp, Port, Boost, Move, Sub (Gen 1/2).
- Sonos Products That Only Support The New S2 Controller App: Five, One SL, Roam, ARC, Sub (Gen 3), and any Sonos products released after May 2020.
- Sonos Products That Only Support The Old S1 Controller App: CR200 Controller, Zone Player, Bridge, Connect (Gen 1), Connect: Amp (Gen 1), Play: 5 (Gen 1).
Notes:
- If you have have both, older "legacy" Sonos products and newer Sonos products, you have the option to create two separate eco-systems - one that will be controlled with the older Sonos S1 controller app and the other that will be controlled by the newer Sonos S2 controller app.
- Click here for more information regarding Sonos "Legacy" S1 versus the new Sonos S2 Operating System and App.
Supported Audio Files: Supported audio files from online music services and local music libraries include MP3, WMA, AAC, OGG, FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, and WAV.

Overview: The Coastal Source SAS300/4 (C1) is a fully DSP-enabled outdoor amplifier that can provide up to 75W x 4 (300W total). Designed for outdoor use, the SAS300/4 (C1) comes pre-installed inside a water-tight, polycarbonate and stainless steel enclosure. Mounting brackets are provided for wall-mounting the amplifier enclosure. The SAS300/4 (C1) carries an IP68 weatherproof rating for outdoor use, but must be mounted in a shady area away from direct sunlight.
Note: The SAS300/4 (C1) amplifier's DSP comes pre-configured for use with the included Coastal Source B10SW8BN 8" 10.0 Bollard landscape subwoofer and the EB82W6.5BN 8.0 2-way Mini Ellipse Bollard landscape speakers.
Sonos Port: The Coastal Source SAS300/4 (C1) is pre-configured for use with the included Sonos Port network audio player. The SAS300/4 (C1) amplifier and enclosure include pre-attached connections for plugging your Sonos Port into the amplifier and into the enclosure.

Enclosure Inputs & Outputs: All connections to the SAS300/4 (C1) enclosure feature watertight connectors designed for outdoor use.
- Ethernet: An RJ-45 input connection on the amplifier enclosure gets internally connected to the Ethernet Input on a Sonos Port module. A corresponding RJ-45 cable on the amplifier attaches to the Ethernet Output on the Sonos Port.
- Line In: A 5P connector on the enclosure terminates in a pair of RCA plugs for connecting to the Line In on a Sonos Port, while a second set of RCA cables from the amp get connected to the Sonos Port Line Out jacks.
- Speaker Outputs (1-4): Four 2-pin Coastal Connect (CC) ports provide the speaker output connections. The enclosure speaker outputs are per-connected to the amplifier's output.
- AC Power: An attached 80" (6.7') AC power cord is internally connected to the amplifier and includes an additional DC connector for powering a Sonos Port module. The SAS300/4 (C1) amplifier operates on 100-240VAC @ 50/60Hz.

8.0 2-Way Mini Ellipse Bollard
Speaker Overview: The Coastal Source 8.0 2-Way Mini Ellipse Bollard (EB82W6.5BN) is a full-range speaker designed for in-ground and above-ground installations where directional sound is desired with a simplistic contemporary style.
Construction: The 8.0 Mini Ellipse Bollard 2-way speaker features a 6.5" woofer and a 1" Titanium dome tweeter with an articulating mount that lets you aim the tweeter for optimum performance. Both drivers are housed in a durable fiberglass enclosure designed for outdoor use. The Mini Ellipse Bollard can provide a wide 120˚ of sound dispersion that can cover between 50 and 150 sq. ft. of listening area.
Power & Connections: The 8.0 Mini Ellipse Bollard features a pair of male CC (Coastal Connector) input connectors for connection to an amplifier. The included Coastal Connection cables feature threaded connector-ends designed to provide a watertight connection that's rated for direct-burial. The Mini Ellipse Bollard can handle 25W-100W (maximum).
Installation: The 8.0 Mini Ellipse Bollard speaker can be either landscape or hardscape installed. For landscape installations, the speaker can be installed in-ground with the woofer and mid/tweeter grilles exposed. Optional Landscape Stakes and a Theft Guard (both sold separately) can be used to mount the speaker above-ground while maintaining a stable installation. The 8.0 Mini Ellipse Bollard can also be hardscape mounted to flat surfaces. Optional Isolation Spikes (sold separately) allow the speaker to safely sit on a hard surface, while a Hardscape Mount bracket (sold separately) allows the speaker to sit inside a recessed mounting area of a flat surface.

The two sets of input signals should be crossed over at 120Hz before connecting to the speakers - 120Hz and up going to the Satellite and 120Hz and down going to the Subwoofer. The included Coastal Connection cables feature threaded connector-ends designed to provide a watertight connection that's rated for direct-burial.
