Sonos Play 5 (Mark 1) Wireless Music System

Sonos Play 5 wireless music system

The Sonos Play:5 is a self contained wireless hifi system that only requires broadband for you to instantly start streaming music in any room you choose, without wires.

Combines 5 speakers (2 left, 2 right and a subwoofer for stunning bass), 5 high quality digital amplifiers to drive them, and the wireless functionality so that you can stream music from your PC, Mac or NAS drive, internet radio, Spotify, Napster, Deezer or Last.fm at will.

You can control the unit in three ways - either from the bundled Sonos desktop controller software from your computer, via the Sonos CR200 handheld controller, or with a free app downloaded from iTunes to your iTouch or iPhone, which lowers the cost of entry to a complete Sonos music system.

iPod's and other portable audio devices can be connected directly to the Sonos Play5 via a 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack to jack cable, but with all the free music you can stream to the Sonos Play5 from the internet, we doubt you will need to connect your iPod at all.

Sound quality is superb, it easily fills a room with clear, punchy stereo sound.

If you want to add sound to other rooms in your home, or even the garden, simply add more units, plug into the mains supply, press mute and vol+ on the front panel and wirelessly connects to your other units. The first unit in any Sonos system must normally be wired directly to your broadband router - if this is inconvenient, simply add the Sonos Bridge (this plugs into your router instead of the Play5), then your Sonos Play5 becomes truely wireless, even if it is the only unit in the system. Perfect for gardens, patio, study, conservatory, bedrooms and dens - in fact anywhere you need a portable source of music.

A great product, flawless design and child's play to operate.
