Sonos Introduces the Sonos ZonePlayer 120 and Sonos ZonePlayer 90


HILVERSUM, The Netherlands, August 5 /PRNewswire/ --

- Wireless Range and Amplifier Design Innovations Deliver State of the 
Art Multi-Room Music Experience

Sonos(R), Inc., the leading developer of wireless multi-room music 
systems for the home, today introduced two new ZonePlayers to deliver a 
state-of-the-art multi-room music experience.  With innovations in both 
wireless technology and amplifier design, the Sonos ZonePlayer 120 (ZP120) 
and the Sonos ZonePlayer 90 (ZP90) make Sonos the ideal system for music 
lovers who want to enjoy all the music they love, all over the house.  The 
new ZonePlayers are available starting today at all Sonos authorised 
retailers and at www.sonos.com.

The two new Sonos ZonePlayers give music lovers the ability to add music 
to absolutely any room. Connect speakers to the amplified ZP120 and place 
in the bedroom or the backyard. The non-amplified ZP90 can be connected 
to a home theatre or stereo, allowing customers to make use of the audio 
equipment they already own.

"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(TM) 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 synchronisation 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.

Sonos ZonePlayer 120

Advances in power supply design, digital amplifier engineering,
industrial design, and mechanical engineering make this the smallest,
lightest, most powerful amplified Sonos ZonePlayer ever. The incredibly
efficient amplifier and power supply, combined with the fan-less design of
the aluminum case, allows the ZP120 to operate silently. The ZP120 delivers
55 watts per channel RMS at 8 Ohms. With measurements of THD+N < 0.02%,
20Hz-20kHz, the ZP120 delivers powerful low distortion audiophile quality
sound to every room of the house. The ZP120 can be connected to speakers and
discreetly placed on a bookshelf, under furniture or beds, or hidden in
cabinets with connections to in-wall speakers.

The ZP120 will retail for GBP349 individually. It is also
included as part of the Sonos Bundle 150 for GBP699 .

The Sonos ZonePlayer 90 allows music lovers to play all the music they
want, all over their house, on all of their favourite audio equipment-a home
theatre system, powered speakers, a premium table top radio such as a Bose
Wave(R) Radio, and more. It is the easiest way to integrate existing audio
equipment into a multi-room music system.

The ZP90 will retail for GBP249 individually. It is also included as
part of the Sonos Bundle 150 for GBP699.

In conjunction with today's ZP120 and ZP90 announcement, Sonos also
introduced Sonos Software 2.6 to all Sonos customers. The new feature update
includes more than GBP100 in DRM-free music offers, support for music
collections with up to 65,000 tracks, and more.

Sonos is the first wireless, multi-room music system that lets you play
all the music you want all over your house - and control it all from the palm
of your hand. To learn more about Sonos, to place an order or to locate an
