Looking at Sonance, we see that the Sonance Mariner series is IP66, which means that they are completely dustproof and also can withstand strong water flushing against enclosure from all sides. The speakers are weatherproof, but without any official IP certification. In terms of appearance, they are almost identical, with the same type of swivel stand solution and with cable clamps at the front, hidden behind a cover.

Sonos Outdoor is based on the Mariner series from Sonance, and fits in size between the two largest models, 66 and 86. Specifically, Sonance, which is widely known for recessed and outdoor speakers in all shapes, with high quality. Instead of trying to make their own speakers, something many others probably do better than them, they have chosen a manufacturer to work with. The choice then fell on speakers for wall and ceiling mounting, since multi-room customers like hidden installations.Īnd then Sonos has done something clever. And to keep things simple, it is simply called Amp.īut then someone must have thought: “Why not become an all-round supplier?” The item missinng on the list is passive speakers that can be operated by Amp. But because many customers who want multi-room at the same time want to keep the existing stereo speakers in the living room, Sonos has also always offered an amplifier with built-in streaming, in one form or another. What they do best is active, wireless multi-room speakers. Sonos is on a somewhat unfamiliar ground, having for the first time embarked in the art of making passive speakers.
