You can send audio to HOLO-WHAS wirelessly either from an Apple TV via AirPlay without any range limitations. If you want to run a hardwired connection from the output of the TV, you can do so by running an optical or HDMI connection from the output of the TV back to the HOLO-WHAS and then converting it with these adapters (USB to RCA,RCA to HDMI,RCA to Optical) to connect into HOLO-WHAS 's USB port.

Is HOLO-WHAS powerful enough for all of my speakers?

Each of HOLO-WHAS's zones have separate amplification components built inside that allow it to efficiently power speaker sets across multiple rooms from a single amplifier. HOLO-WHAS will provide strong output into in-wall or in-ceiling speaker with a wattage rating up to about 60 watts per channel at an 8 ohms load. If you have a preference for louder music and/or have larger speakers or outdoor speakers in a larger space, we do recommend utilizing the HOLO-WHAS+ model for it's additional wattage output. HOLO-WHAS+ can deliver a continuous power of 150W per channel at an 8-ohm load.

How do I connect a surround sound receiver with HOLO-WHAS?

While HOLO-WHAS is used to power stereo output across the entirety of a home, some users may elect to use a separate surround sound receiver in their main TV/media area. In this scenario, you can connect the zone 2 output of that surround sound receiver to the HOLO-WHAS as an input via this USB to RCA adapter. If you'd like to have the surround sound room be an output of the HOLO-WHAS.

Is HOLO-WHAS compatible with Sonos?

While there is no direct integration between HOLO-WHAS and Sonos, you can connect a Sonos port (or other streamer) to the HOLO-WHAS 's USB port via this USB to RCA adapter. Doing so will allow you to use the Sonos app to stream to HOLO-WHAS and other Sonos speakers in the house together. Important to note that wireless streaming to the HOLO-WHAS and its connected speakers is already supported natively without Sonos though, and you can use Apple HomePods as "wireless" speakers if you want to add speakers in a room where there aren't wired speakers in place.
