Sonos is a Santa Barbara, California consumer electronics company founded in 2002 by John MacFarlane and Trung Mai. The company’s main product is the Sonos Multi-Room Music System.
The Sonos Multi-Room Music System is a modular set of digital appliances that works with end-user supplied or built-in speakers to form a zoned audio system in which different zones may play the same or different audio.
The Sonos Multi-Room Music System creates multi-room audio hi-fi in which different zones may play the same or different songs simultaneously throughout the house. The company tagline is "All the music you want. All over your house. All from the palm of your hand."
There are two main appliances in the Sonos Multi-Room Music System: ZonePlayers and Controllers. ZonePlayers may connect directly to speakers, or to an amplifier, and take the place of a traditional hifi setup. There is also an all-in-one ZonePlayer with integrated speakers. The system is controlled by the Sonos Controller, a wireless handheld remote equipped with a color LCD screen that controls music streaming and zone selection. Software is also available for Android, iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, Mac, Windows computers to control the system.
