Sonos ZP100 - Zone Player - Wireless Music System

Product Information

For Sonos to function, at least one of the ZonePlayers needs to be plugged directly into your WiFi router. If you don't happen to have your router conveniently located to one of your sound systems, Sonos provides the ZoneBridge. Just hook that up instead and then put your ZonePlayers wherever else you want them. An elegant enough solution until the ZonePlayers can lose that one-hardwire requirement and go pure WiFi, which given the speeds and range of 802.11N shouldn't be far off. (Right now Sonos prefers to create their own, exclusive Mesh sub-network off the hard-line). ZonePlayer 90 In terms of ergonomics, much as I like the Duet’s remote control and menu design, if you plan to do a multi-room system the Sonos controller and the Sonos system’s ability to share sources between ZonePlayers makes it a far more elegant solution. The Sonos system is also easier to set up and much simpler to expand. Finally, each Sonos ZonePlayer can support an independent NAS hard drive, so you can access multiple libraries of digital music. You can’t do with the Logitech Duet.

Sonos launches ZonePlayer S5 all-in-one wireless system

Sonos’ mission is to fill every house — and every room — with music,” said Phil Abram, President & Chief Operating Officer, Sonos, Inc. “These new products continue Sonos’ heritage of blending the latest technology, software and user experience to create an unmatched music experience in the home.” The new ZonePlayers incorporate SonosNet™ 2.0, our latest wireless mesh network technology, which doubles the wireless range of the Sonos Multi-Room Music System. SonosNet 2.0 uses Sonos’ mesh network combined with state of the art MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) wireless technology which uses 3 antennas to send and receive music. SonosNet 2.0 helps assure the music gets to all the right rooms, near or far, at the right time — creating perfect synchronization of music without all the wires. The extended range works between any mix of ZP120s and ZP90s and is compatible with all previous generations of Sonos ZonePlayers, Controllers and ZoneBridges. If you don't see your product or are unsure which generation you own, please sign in to your account to see if it requires Sonos S1. Despite its all-in-one nature, the ZP-S5 isn’t what you’d call small, or even unobtrusive – with dimensions of 365 x 217 x 123mm (WxHxD) you’ll know it’s there, whatever room you decide to put it in. But this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, since Sonos has been smart enough to realise that making the ZP-S5 sound good, is far more important than making it look good.

Sonos ZP100 Help and Support | Sonos

Sonos Controller sets up and controls the speaker only, with all third and first-party apps incompatible with the speakers. Furthermore, other music services such as Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Pandora and others can be connected to the app and streamed through. The headphones are thought to have an over-ear design with oval ear cups. Though another patent showed a wireless earbud design, so Sonos could be readying more than one pair. Playlists supported: Rhapsody, iTunes, WinAmp, Windows Media Player, and MusicMatch™ (.m3u, .pls, .wpl)If you're set on investing in a Sonos speaker or soundbar, congratulations, we'd say you've made a great choice.

Sonos ZonePlayer S5 Debuts in Singapore". VR-Zone. 1 June 2010. Archived from the original on 18 May 2013 . Retrieved 4 November 2016. The first genuine threat to Sonos was Bluesound, whose key hook of support for high-resolution audio made it our preferred multi-room system for years (as multiple Awards trophies will attest). Its wide range of products (which includes wireless speakers, a streamer, amplifier and soundbar) and subtly detailed and punchy sound made this pricey system worth investing in. But that was before Audio Pro came into the picture with its better value wireless speakers. So if I want a wireless multi-room speaker system in my home, I must turn to Sonos?" Not so fast. There are other options to consider, some of which offer a different flavour of sound or a different set of features to challenge Sonos's dominance. Sonos's mission statement is to offer 'all the music on Earth', so as well as allowing you to play music from digital libraries (such as from a NAS device or a laptop), the app also offers the widest choice of streaming service compatibility. Sonos's aim is to be platform agnostic, and it's the most comprehensive list we've seen in any multi-room product. Sonos also includes a computer-based software program with every system that has the exact same functionality as the Controller. You can command any ZonePlayer in your system and add or remove music sources from your computer desktop.During my forays onto the Internet in search of technical and anecdotal information on the Sonos system I’ve come across plenty of heated exchanges between Logitech Squeezebox and Sonos users about which system is better. Having used both, I have my own take on this. Otherwise, though, the Amp is designed to be more flexible than the Connect:Amp when it comes to powering third-party speakers, most notably in the increase in power from 55W to 125W. This makes it far more capable of powering bigger, more demanding speakers. a b Gowan, Michael (25 January 2016). "Sonos Play:5 Review". Tom's Hardware . Retrieved 4 November 2016.
