DISC Sonos PLAY:5 Wireless Music System, Black

Full Description

Crystal Clear, Room Filling Sound

The Play:5 is custom designed by Sonos to produce rich, room-filling HiFi sound that fills any room. It contains five state of the art, digital amplifiers perfectly tuned to match the speakers and acoustic architecture. Five speakers create a crisp and accurate high frequency response and ensures the faithful reproduction of mid-range frequencies crucial for accurate playback of vocals and instruments, as well as delivery of deep, rich bass from the subwoofer.

All filter settings, active equalisation and time alignment are done in the digital domain through state of the art DSP circuitry so there's no loss of audio quality or energy. You can optimise sound performance using room specific bass, treble, balance and loudness controls. Adjust volume by individual room or by groups of rooms. An acoustic port on the rear of the unit is vital to the sound output of the Play:5 when in use and it's also a convenient handle when moving it from one room to another.

Access to All Music

The Sonos Play:5 comes pre-loaded with Internet radio stations. Get over 100,000 free radio stations, shows and podcasts free of charge and browse easily. Sonos works seamlessly with a host of popular music streaming services and streams content to the room of your choice. You can also play music stored on up to 16 PCs, Macs or NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices on your home network. An analog input lets you connect to an external audio source (such as a CD or MP3 player, TV, DVD, VCR or radio) and play that music or audio on all players in the system.

Wireless App Control

You can control all your music and rooms with an Android™ device, iPhone®, iPod Touch® and iPad™. A free app lets you control the Play:5 from the palm of your hand. If you have multiple music players you can control what music is playing in every room, from anywhere in your house. Sonos Controllers aren't tied to a specific player so you can use any controller to control the music and volume in all your rooms. The software is included to use any Mac or PC as a controller too.

Sonosnet Technology

The Play:5 can go anywhere and deliver music into your home wirelessly. Music players and controllers work on your home WiFi network or they can establish their own secure network using Sonosnet Wireless Mesh Technology. This uses sophisticated MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) technology, multiple antennas and radios together to boost signal strength and reach remote locations. This allows you to play different music in each room simultaneously or sync each room together and play the same all over your house in perfect unison.

Simple Set-Up

The Sonos Play:5 is simple and easy to use. Simply put it in any room and connect it to your home WiFi network using the free Sonos Controller App. The easy System Set up software provides on-screen prompts on any control. You can then expand your system room by room by adding more speakers.

The Play:5 has a built-in carry handle which allows you to move it from room to room. Simply pick it up and plug it in! The expandable design means you can add more and more speakers over time and build up your system for true multi-room music. The system will also automatically notify you of updates and new features once registered and can be easily updated with the press of one button.
