We are constantly searching for products to add to our line of custom electronic solutions, making sure they meet our core requirements of QUALITY, CONVENIENCE, and USEABILITY.  The SONOS PLAY 5 wireless music system is our latest addition that meets that criteria and more. 

A *scalable music system for the person that is not into separate components and boxy speakers, this sleek, and elegant looking unit, is a great sounding device that blends well with any decor, and allows you to add  players to as many rooms (aka: zones) as you please. All linked wirelessly, all controlled from a Control4 Home Automation System, smartphone, or tablet to create a multi-zone music distribution system that rivals some of the more high end *Whole House Audio Systems. And with the Extra Vegetables app for Control4 completely integrate Sonos and Control4 zones seamlessly!

2 tweeters, 2 mid-range drivers, and 1 bass driver.

Now, on to some spec's & features...
Personally, I love listening to my music fairly loud, (a habit picked up from my days on concert tours) and an audio system has to deliver clean sound at high levels. Well, the Play 5 delivers! Rich sound, crisp, and distortion free. The system houses a 5 driver speaker system, with 5 separate class-D digital amps, one per speaker.  With an added bonus of a subwoofer if you just have to rock the house.

On the inside, the processing power is spot on. Using state-of-the-art DSP circuitry, the systems' filters, active equalization, and time-alignment are done in the digital domain guaranteeing no loss of audio quality or energy. As the listener you control bass, treble, balance, and loudness, by individual room or multiple rooms.

2-port ethernet switch, and 3.5 mm audio input

Play 5 boasts' 100,000 free radio stations, shows, and podcasts, and you tune in without turning on your computer. It allows you to browse for stations, or type in specific call letters of the station of your choice. Also play all the music stored on your computer, or NAS drive through your home network, and dock and charge your iPod, iPhone with an optional SONOS DOCK. In addition with the analog input on the back you can play music and audio from a CD or MP3 player, and TV.

 I am very impressed with the sound quality in such a small package, and it is great to have the option to move the Play 5 around the house or network it to several rooms, and to control it via a home automation system, or any computer or mobile device. 

There are certainly even more goodies hidden inside this small but mighty audio player which I am sure you would enjoy. For more info on the Play 5 click here.
