This guide shows how to connect your Sonia system and prepare it for use with RoomHub.

Sonia is designed to install quickly, scale easily, and stay out of sight. Once connected, RoomHub handles discovery, control, and audio optimization.

Before starting, confirm the basics:

• Your network switch or PoE adapter supports PoE+ (or PoE++ for higher output)

• Sonia C5 speakers are mounted in the ceiling

• Sonia Amp, speakers, and microphones are powered off

This ensures a smooth first startup.

Mount the Sonia Amp directly onto one of the installed ceiling speakers.

The Amp:

• Powers and controls the connected speakers

• Acts as a small PoE-powered network switch

• Provides connection points for microphones and other devices

No separate rack or enclosure is required.

Connect the speakers using standard network cables.

Steps:

• Connect up to 4 Sonia C5 speakers directly to the Sonia Amp

• To expand coverage, daisy-chain one additional speaker from each connected speaker

• This allows up to 8 speakers total per Amp

The distributed CatX design provides even coverage while keeping cabling simple and tidy.

Connect your ceiling microphone to the Sonia Amp.

Steps:

• Plug the microphone into the Mic port on the Amp

• If the microphone requires more than one network cable, connect the additional cable directly to the network switch

Sonia is designed to be simple.

Key points:

• One Amp mounts directly to the ceiling speaker

• Standard network cables for speakers and microphones

• Clean, scalable distributed audio

Connect it once.
