Sonos Music Systems

Music in the kitchen, a favorite album in the listening room and a soundtrack for the terrace. IMS plans Sonos systems around the spaces you use, the sound you want and the way you prefer to choose music.

For homes across Northern Virginia and the DC area, we bring speakers, amplification, wiring and network planning into a coordinated installation.

Choose the Listening Areas

Some rooms need their own music and volume; others should play together. We establish those listening areas before selecting the equipment. Compatible Sonos rooms can be grouped for shared playback, with the available sources and functions confirmed for the selected system.

A room plan also accounts for who uses each space and where the controls should be convenient. Explore whole-home audio and video.

Sound that Belongs in the Room

A self-contained speaker and installed architectural speakers serve different purposes. IMS considers the intended sound, placement, furnishings and available wiring before recommending an arrangement.

Sonos amplification can bring streaming music to suitable wired speakers. Speaker requirements, channel arrangements and connections are specified with the amplifier, whether the project uses ceiling speakers, wall speakers or another supported installation.

Start with the Music You Use

Streaming services, radio and a personal music collection can each shape the design. We discuss how you find music today and what you want available in each listening area.

A television or other local source may need different connections from music streamed through an app. Source access, grouping and volume behavior are established for the proposed equipment.

Give the Music a Reliable Foundation

Network coverage, wired connection options and power are reviewed with the equipment locations. IMS coordinates those requirements with the wider home installation, including accessible connections and suitable equipment space.

Planning a Sonos System

Can we add rooms to an existing installation?

We first review the installed product generations, software environment and connected equipment. Those details establish the room additions and setup work that belong in the scope. See existing-system upgrades.

Can installed speakers be part of the design?

Yes, with appropriate amplification and compatible speaker wiring. We confirm the speaker and amplifier requirements for the installation.
