You can connect a ZonePlayer 90 to the inputs of any amplified audio device, such as a home theater receiver, stereo, or computer with powered speakers, using the ZP 90's digital or analog outputs (RCA cable supplied).

To connect a Sonos ZP90 to speakers, you'll need speaker wire and possibly some additional components depending on your specific setup. Here's a basic outline of the wiring you'll need: Speaker Wire:

You'll need enough speaker wire to connect the Sonos ZP90 to your speakers. The gauge and length of the wire will depend on the distance between the ZP90 and the speakers, as well as the power requirements of your speakers. Amplifier (if needed):

If your speakers are passive (i.e., they require an external amplifier to power them), you'll need to connect the Sonos ZP90 to an amplifier using RCA cables, and then connect the amplifier to the speakers using speaker wire.

RCA Cable: If you're connecting the Sonos ZP90 to an amplifier, you'll need an RCA cable to carry the audio signal from the ZP90 to the amplifier.

Banana Plugs (optional): Banana plugs can be used to make the connection between the speaker wire and the Sonos ZP90 or amplifier more secure and convenient. Here's a basic overview of the connection process: Connect the Sonos ZP90 to an amplifier (if needed) using RCA cables. Connect the amplifier to the speakers using speaker wire.

If your speakers are powered (i.e., they have a built-in amplifier), you can connect them directly to the Sonos ZP90 using speaker wire.

It's important to carefully review the user manual for your specific speakers and the Sonos ZP90 to ensure you're making the correct connections and using the appropriate wiring for your setup. If you're unsure about any aspect of the wiring or connections, it's best to consult with a professional or the manufacturer for guidance.
