The Sonos Digital Music System
It's the first and only multi-room digital music system with a wireless, full-color LCD
screen Controller. This means you can now enjoy all your digital music, all over your
home, and control it all from the palm of your hand.
With a Sonos Digital Music System you don't need a computer in every room, a music
server, or a wireless computer network. Just a Sonos ZonePlayer and speakers in the
rooms of your choice, and a Sonos Controller in hand to access all your digital music -
no matter where it’s stored.
Now you really can store your music wherever you please - on your computer, music
server, network-attached storage (NAS) box, or even an external source like a CD player.
Best of all, you can listen to music wherever you have Sonos ZonePlayers - in the
bedroom, on the deck, or both.
Key Benefits
With a Sonos Digital Music System you can:
• Enjoy digital music in every room in your house - including outside
• Access your entire digital music collection easily using the Controller’s full-color
LCD screen and scroll wheel
• Control all your music and all your rooms from anywhere - wirelessly
• Play the same song in different rooms or different songs in different rooms
• Get great sound in every room
