The ZP100 brings great-sounding music to any and every room in your house, regardless of where your music collection is stored. That's because the ZP100, with its built-in amplifier, communicates wirelessly with your PC or Mac and sends the music directly to any connected pair of speakers. You can even play the same song in different rooms or different songs in different rooms. With 50 watts per channel of power and a guaranteed total harmonic distortion of less than 0.02 percent, you can count on superior audio quality playback--without hisses, crackles, or hums. The first ZP100 connects to your broadband router, but you have total freedom with each additional ZonePlayer. You can put one in the basement, garage, kitchen, and anywhere else, as long as you also connect a pair of speakers. You can even connect the ZP100 to your favorite CD or MP3 player and listen to that music on all the other ZonePlayers in your house. Connectivity is easy, as the ZP100 features spring binding post speaker terminals, RCA-type line-in and line-out jacks, and a subwoofer out jack. Simply put, the ZP100 is ready for any setup you have, large or small. You can even match the ZP100 with a pair of Sonos' very own SP100 loudspeakers, which are aesthetically and acoustically designed to complement your Sonos digital music system. Sonos in Depth The ZP100 is just one part of a complete Sonos digital music system. To make your system complete, you'll need access the Sonos controller (included in the bundle). The wireless Sonos controller gives you instant control over your entire digital music collection, along with Internet radio, subscriptions to online audio services, and even music from your favorite CD or MP3 player. You can turn off the upstairs music while you're downstairs. You can change the song in the kitchen from the den. Plus, the controller's full-color 3.5-inch screen lets you see album art, browse playlists, get detailed track info, and more. To start listening, just pick a room, pick a song, and hit play. The controller even lets you queue the right tunes for the right moment; you can build, edit, and save playlists right from the palm of your hand. The system supports up to 32 Sonos ZonePlayers throughout your home--from the bedroom to the backyard. Expansion options include additional ZP100s, or you can choose the ZP80, which doesn't have a built-in amplifier but instead connects directly to your home theater or stereo systems. Or better yet, choose both for the ultimate in multi-room music. You can also add more Sonos controllers to give more people access to your music library. Sonos Setup You don't need to be a professional installer to set up a Sonos system, or a technical wizard to use it. Sonos was designed to work right out of the box. All you need is a high-speed Internet connection and a router to get started. Then, unpack your components, lay them out in your home, and the result will be music to your ears. Software Sonos offers desktop software for PCs and Macs that's as simple to use as the Sonos controller. Designed with a user interface that accommodates a larger screen, the Sonos Desktop Controller software guides you through both setup and music sharing. It offers the exact same functionality as the Sonos controller, but instead of being in the palm of your hand, it's all on your desktop. You can also use it to set up music folders on your hard drive or to add and edit Internet radio stations. The ZP100 measures 10.2 by 4.4 by 8.2 inches (W x H x D) while the Sonos controller checks in at 6.5 by 0.95 by 3.8 inches. The entire bundle is backed by a one-year warranty. Rhapsody and Sonos Now you can hear more music, in more rooms with Sonos and Rhapsody, the #1-Rated Digital Music Service. Sonos connects directly to Rhapsody via the Web, so you don't have to download an application or even turn your PC on.

With the Sonos Controller you can browse the entire Rhapsody Music Guide, everything from Top Artists, Albums and Tracks to New Releases and editorial recommendations.

 Rating: - Best Electronics Purchase of my life.I have been waiting for a product such as the Sonos music system all my life. I have wanted to have all the music I own accessible from any room of my house wirelessly at the touch of a button. I now have that. This is easily the best piece of electronics I have ever purchased. Easily worth the price. Rating: - Brilliance in a boxWe purchased the Sonos BU101 bundle and quickly followed up with a couple more ZonePlayers and another controller. This is easily once of the most innovative products I have ever owned. Even my wife, who was worried about the idea of switching from CDs was quickly hooked on Napster and Rhapsody. We've now got our entire house wired up (or more accurately wireless) with Sonos and we've never looked back. Unless you are an audiophile freak, the Amp built in to the ZP100 Zoneplayer is fine for ...

Over 800 cd's so far are digitized and now on an hp media server. 3 zp 80's are connected via ethernet, the remainder is wireless. I've had the system for about 3 years. The first 4 were purchased direct from Sonos, the other 2 purchased from a dealer within weeks of the first 4. A couple of initial problems (computer related) were quickly resolved with ... Read More Rating: - Elegant Integration of Hardward & SoftwareHave used Sonos now for six months and retired all physical media as well as understanding and enjoying the range of available streaming services. The product has been superb correcting glitches in the network or music with communication between peers on the system. No doubt that this is how all digital media will be served within the home. I had one issue with a remote that died - customer service was great. Excellent! Game changing! Can anybody get me the right to purchase Company stock? Rating: - Puts music back into my life againWe have had SONOS for more than a year, and I think it may be my favorite technology innovation of the last 10 years. I love having instant access to our CD collection, and, as we got hooked on Rhapsody via the 30-day trial, I think it's great having a pretty robust musical library at our disposal as well. Plus, SONOS may just have saved our marriage. One of my biggest pet peeves is when my husband leaves a stack of CDs sitting by the stereo to collect dust and scratches. Now, our CD ... Read More |
