Want to listen to your music anywhere at home? And control it from your smartphone at the touch of a button? Leading-edge wireless Sonos system may be just what you need. It’s products are designed to fill every room of your home with music, and it’s flexibility has made the company a household name. Here’s a few things you may not know about this incredible sound solution:
#1 Sonos was founded in California in 2002 with one aim: to transform your home sound system for the digital age. They’ve waved goodbye to the days when your music or hi-fi system was restricted to one room in the house and tethered there by a mass of complicated cables.
#2 The Sonos wireless sound system works by first connecting one single speaker to your home wifi network, then you can add more Sonos units (up to a maximum of 32, placed around the house) using a dedicated secure wireless mesh network known as Sonosnet.

#3 Key to the whole system is the the Sonos Controller app (both Android and iOS) which walks you through the set-up. It’s really simple and actually involves not much more than just pressing the speaker’s sync button (to link it to your network and any other Sonos speakers), finding the connected speaker on the app and then entering your wi-fi password. The Controller app then makes actually managing and playing your music really easy.

#4 In the Controller app, you can assign each speaker to a particular room of your house, and add your favourite streaming services such as Spotify, as well as play any tracks, playlists and albums stored on your smartphone. The Controller intelligently recognises which speaker you’re using, and which room you’re using it in. Adding other speakers is via a tap in the app to add, press the sync button on the back of the speaker and – it’s done. You can also pair single speakers in one room to work as a group in stereo together.
#5 The current Sonos products include the Play:1, Play:3 and Play:5 speakers, the Playbar, Playbase and Sub, the Sonos One smart speaker with Alexa voice control and the new Sonos Beam soundbar, all perfect additions to any smart home.
