The Sonos ZonePlayer S5, an all-in-one wireless music system that can be controlled with an iPhone or iPod touch or any Sonos Controller. The S5 will be available in Europe for €399 on November 10th.
The S5 features a 5-driver speaker system and an all-digital sound architecture. The S5 includes two tweeters, two mid-range drivers and a built-in single subwoofer-- each individually powered by a dedicated digital amplifier. All filter settings, bass and treble controls, active equalisation, and time-alignment are done in the digital domain through DSP circuitry.
With the internet-connection, the S5 gives your customer instant access to 25,000 Internet radio stations, shows and podcasts – all free of charge and pre-loaded. Sonos also gives instant access to any iTunes library stored on any computer or Network Attached storage such as an Apple Time Capsule. The S5 also services to provide computer-free access to smartradios and web radios from the music services like Deezer. The S5’s analog audio input lets you connect to an external audio source (such as an iPod, CD player, TV, DVD, VCR, or radio) and play music or audio on all ZonePlayers in the system.
The S5 also includes free Sonos Controller software for your Mac or PC. Or you can let everyone in the house share the control with the dedicated Sonos Controller 200 (sold separately).
One ZonePlayer or Sonos ZoneBridge (sold separately) must be connected to your router and all the rest will work wirelessly. When you’re ready to play more music in more rooms, add S5s or other ZonePlayers without adding wires.
