Business Wire
Sonos Amp, available on Sonos.com and through
installers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico will expand to
additional retail channels and Australia on Feb. 5; Europe
beginning Feb. 12.
Today, Sonos (Nasdaq: SONO) announced the all-new Sonos
Architectural by Sonance, a collection of installed passive
speakers for indoor and outdoor use designed and optimized for
Sonos Amp in partnership with Sonance. Sonos In-Wall by Sonance and
Sonos In-Ceiling by Sonance are available for pre-order on
sonos.com today, with general availability to begin on February 26;
general availability for Sonos Outdoor by Sonance will follow in
April.
With a shared commitment to superior sound and great design,
Sonos and Sonance partnered with the objective of producing
speakers that disappear into any space while providing clear sound,
even coverage, high-quality performance, and ease of use. The
creation and engineering of speakers for a specific amplifier marks
a first for architectural sound, demonstrating both brands’
dedication to creating transformative sound experiences.
“Our goal was to create a solution optimized for installers,
bringing the Sonos experience to architectural speakers for the
first time,” said Sonos CEO Patrick Spence. “Sonance was the
natural partner, sharing our passion for high quality, reliable
sound solutions inside and outside the home.”
When paired with Sonos Amp, the In-Ceiling and In-Wall speakers’
unique hardware signature unlocks Trueplay™ which accounts for the
size, construction, and furnishings of the room where the speakers
are placed, and automatically adjusts the EQ for optimal sound.
The Outdoor speaker is the first Sonos speaker designed for
outdoor use. Featuring a weatherproof design and engineered to
withstand a wide variety of environmental conditions, you can now
enjoy audio content year-round from anywhere in your home, whether
inside or out.
"We’re excited to be partnering with Sonos to bring the first
architectural speakers with Trueplay to market,” said Sonance CEO
Ari Supran. “Sonos represents the pinnacle in distributed audio
user experiences and we are thrilled to help extend that experience
to installations where hiding technology into architecture is
desired.”
A connection to Amp also brings the benefits of the Sonos system
to every Sonos Architectural by Sonance speaker, including an
easy-to-use app that works with all of your favorite streaming
services, AirPlay 2 control, regular software updates, and the
ability to add additional Sonos speakers and components to expand
your setup over time.
Up to three pairs of Sonos Architectural by Sonance speakers can
be powered by a single Sonos Amp. Also, all Sonos Architectural by
Sonance speakers feature dynamic bass processing to enhance low
frequencies for a richer listening experience.
Like all Sonos products, the Sonos Architectural by Sonance
speakers have been thoughtfully designed to put sound experience
first, regardless of where you’re listening:
- The $599/pair In-Ceiling speakers bring
music into any room and are ideal for spacious, ambient listening.
They also feature specially designed round, or optional square,
grilles which can be painted to match the ceiling.
- The $599/pair In-Wall speakers bring
targeted, immersive sound for home theater. Like the In-Ceiling
speakers, these speakers feature specially designed grilles which
can be painted to match the wall.
- The $799/pair Outdoor speakers
withstand the elements to deliver rich sound outside the home.
These outdoor speakers are engineered to withstand humidity, water,
salt spray, heat, UV rays, and freezing temperatures.
Sonos Amp
Sonos also announced that the all-new Amp, its powerful and
versatile home amplifier, will be available for purchase in
Australia, Canada and Mexico on February 5, for preorder in Europe
on February 5, and shipping in Europe from February 12. Amp is
currently available in the United States on Sonos.com and through
installers, with the addition of retail availability beginning
February 5.
First unveiled in August 2018, the $599 Amp is more than twice
as powerful as its predecessor, supports Apple’s AirPlay 2 and more
than 100 streaming services, and offers HDMI-ARC to bring great
sound to your TV.
