You can now expand your Sonos system with a Yamaha AV receiver

You can now expand your Sonos system with a Yamaha AV receiver

For some Sonos followers, soundbars — even very succesful Dolby Atmos soundbars just like the Sonos Arc Extremely — simply don’t minimize it in relation to residence theater encompass sound. They need a totally customizable expertise that solely an AV receiver (AVR)-based system can ship. If that’s your standpoint, and for those who personal one in all Yamaha’s Aventage AVRs, now you can have your cake and eat it because of a software program replace that brings Works with Sonos compatibility to Yamaha’s RX-A8A, RX-A6A, RX-A4A, and RX-A2A.

Works with Sonos is a certification program that lets quite a lot of third-party gadgets work together with the Sonos ecosystem. Within the case of Works with Sonos AVRs, you must first join them to a Sonos Port. As soon as configured within the AVR, triggering music playback on the Sonos Port from the Sonos app routinely powers on the AVR, flips the enter setting to the one the Port makes use of, and allows you to management quantity stage from the Sonos app as effectively.

To be clear, Works with Sonos isn’t new — I purchased a Pioneer AVR that’s Works with Sonos suitable in 2018. Nonetheless, that is the primary time a Yamaha-built AVR has been given the function.

“Aventage is our premium AV receiver line,” mentioned Ikuo Tanaka, Group Supervisor, House Audio Group at Yamaha Company, “the best choice for customized integration professionals and passionate residence theater fanatics, making it superb for Works with Sonos integration. This integration exemplifies how our clients constantly acquire highly effective new options and capabilities by our firmware updates.”

To allow Works with Sonos, you must use the Yamaha MusicCast app. And simply in case you have been questioning, nothing is altering on that entrance: the Aventage AVRs will proceed to assist all MusicCast streaming and management capabilities. To get going, simply be certain that each your MusicCast app and your AVR firmware is updated.

As useful as Works with Sonos is for seamlessly combining a Sonos Port and an AVR like Yamaha’s Aventage lineup, it misses out on a key energy of each Sonos and Yamaha: Dolby Atmos.

With some Sonos audio system, just like the Sonos Period 300, Sonos Arc, Sonos Beam Gen 2, and Sonos Arc Extremely, you possibly can stream Dolby Atmos Music natively from providers like Apple Music. In principle, you need to be capable of get the identical audio to your Yamaha receiver, besides for 2 issues. First, the Sonos Port can’t obtain Dolby Atmos Music streams. Second, even when it might, it has no technique to pipe that audio into the Yamaha.

The Sonos port solely has analog stereo, or digital coaxial outputs. Neither of these can ship multichannel Dolby Atmos to an exterior gadget. To try this, the Port would wish an HDMI output.

In the intervening time, that leaves Yamaha-owning Dolby Atmos Music followers with solely non-Sonos choices. An Apple TV 4K working both Apple Music or Tidal would do the trick, as would an Nvidia Defend TV or Defend TV Professional. If you’d like Atmos Music from Amazon Music, you’ll want one Amazon’s Atmos-capable Fireplace TV streamers.
