The Sonos PLAY:5 is a high-performance wireless music system with five speakers powered by five dedicated digital amplifiers. With two tweeters, two mid-range drivers and one subwoofer, the PLAY:5 delivers crystal-clear, room-filling sound that rivals much larger, more complicated audio equipment. Plus, the all-digital sound architecture provides precise sound reproduction, just as the artist intended. With the PLAY:5 you can quickly add a room of music anywhere you want - simply plug it in and enjoy. And thanks to the PLAY:5's superior wireless range, no room is out of reach.
When it comes to controlling your PLAY:5 and the vast array of music on your computer and the Internet, you can simply reach for your iPhone or iPod touch. The free Sonos Controller for iPhone app makes it easy to find and play any song, in any room. The PLAY:5 also includes free software for control from your Mac or PC. Or you can get even more control with the dedicated Sonos Controller 200.
Crystal-clear, room-filling sound The PLAY:5 is a high-performance wireless music system with two tweeters, two mid-range drivers and one subwoofer driver for bass you can feel. Each speaker is powered by a dedicated digital amplifier (five in all) and optimised to deliver accurate tonal balance and deep bass. The PLAY:5's all digital sound architecture provides precise sound reproduction, just as the artist intended. And all filter settings, active equalisation and time-alignment are done in the digital domain through state-of-the-art DSP circuitry, so there's absolutely no loss of audio quality or energy.
Convenient, all-in-one solution The PLAY:5 is a complete wireless music system that works wherever you want music. No need to connect to speakers or audio equipment. Just plug it in and enjoy. Want music in another room? Simply add more PLAY:5s to your house without adding wires. And when the party moves outside or to another room, just pick up the PLAY:5 with the convenient, built-in handle and take the music with you.
Instant access to endless music Sonos liberates the music on your computer and the Internet so you can play it all over the house. Wherever there's a PLAY:5 (or any other Sonos Player), you can listen to your entire collection of iTunes music, plus thousands of free Internet radio stations. And Sonos works seamlessly with the most popular music services so you can stream millions of songs and stations from the Internet to the rooms of your choice. You can even connect the PLAY:5 to your favourite audio source such as an iPod or CD player and listen on all the Sonos Players throughout your house.
Control it all from your iPhone and more Wirelessly control all your music and all your Sonos Players with your choice of Sonos Controllers. Got an iPhone or iPod touch? Then, simply download the free Sonos Controller for iPhone app and take control. Want a dedicated Controller that everyone in the house can use? Grab the touch screen Sonos Controller 200 and pick a room, find a song and touch play. Got a desktop or laptop? Then use the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC for added control. They all work together seamlessly so mix and match to your heart's content.
Best-in-class wireless technology for multi-room music The PLAY:5 brings great sounding music wirelessly to any room in your house, without a big wiring project. SonosNet 2.0, our wireless mesh network technology, provides superior wireless range for whole-house coverage, ensures synchronous music playback, and avoids sources of wireless interference. Which means the music gets to all the right rooms - near or far - at exactly the right time.
Simple setup & expansion Setting up your PLAY:5 is incredibly easy - simply plug it in. No technical or wiring expertise required. No speakers or audio equipment to connect. All you need is a high-speed Internet connection and a router to get started. One ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge in your system must be connected to the router and all the rest will work wirelessly. Add more PLAY:5s in more rooms without wires.
New features and music services with automatic updates Unlike most other consumer electronic products, the PLAY:5 and the entire Sonos system keep getting better even after you buy it. With free automatic software updates you'll always have the newest features and music services to enjoy. Just register your system and Sonos will automatically notify you when software updates are available. Simply press one button and your system updates itself.
