Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
If you're looking for a simple, powerful, and stylish way to play your favorite music all over the house, look no further than the Sonos ZP100 digital music system bundle, which includes everything you need to set up the audio system of your dreams. The system gets you started with two Sonos ZonePlayer 100s (ZP100s, for short) and a Sonos controller, enough equipment to cover two rooms with full digital music access. When you're ready to expand your wireless, multi-room digital music system, simply add more ZonePlayers and controllers as needed.

Watch a demo of the Sonos Digital Music System. it in action [Flash]



With speaker outputs, analog RCA inputs and outputs, and a subwoofer out, the ZP100 makes all the right connections. The ZP100 bundle ships with two ZP100 units. View larger.


The ZP100 is designed to be a part of a complete Sonos digital music system. Setup is easy, too. See how it works.


The bundle also includes the powerful Sonos controller (view larger). Use it to control all of your digital music, as well as your settings.

The bundle ships with Sonos Desktop Software, which makes system setup a snap, while also giving you complete control of your music system. View larger.
The ZonePlayer 100
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. Instead, all that music (millions of songs + ad-free radio) is instantly accessible from the palm of your hand—to play in any room you choose.

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. You can even view track information and album art. And whenever a new song is released, it's in your hands and ready to play—in the bedroom, bathroom or backyard.

Rhapsody features
Instant, plug-and-play access to millions of songs and ad-free radio on your Sonos system

  • Discover new music right from your Controller—browse by genre or check out the charts, then build your own library of favorites and create custom playlists
  • Get album and playlist recommendations based upon the songs and artists you've chosen.
  • Over 100 professionally-programmed commercial-free radio stations spanning dozens of formats
  • Customized radio stations based on your favorite artists

Free Rhapsody 30-day trial The minute you took your new Sonos® system out of the box or updated your software to Sonos v2.0, your free 30-day Rhapsody® Trial was ready to go. Now, it’s your turn to start listening to all those songs, all over your house.

Simply pick up your Sonos Controller, hit the music button and you’ll see the Rhapsody Trial. Now select the Rhapsody Music Guide and browse for your favorite artists, albums, genres, and more.

What's in the Box
Two Sonos ZP100s with power cords, Sonos controller with AC adapter, Ethernet cables, Sonos system setup software CD-ROM (Windows 2000, Windows XP SP2, or Mac OS X v10.3 and v10.4), Sonos digital music system documentation; controller power cord, controller documentation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rediscover your entire music collection, February 16, 2006
I had been wanting to install a whole house audio system long before I even had a house. When I was a kid, I dreamed of being able to go from room to room and have my music follow me. Back then I envisioned a CD changer hooked up to all my speakers and listening to a selection of my favorite CDs. If I only could have dreamed bigger, I would have thought of the Sonos system.

I got an iPod three years ago and it was great to rediscover songs/CDs/artists that I hadn't listened to in awhile due to (1) the volume of my collection and (2) not having the ability to manipulate songs across the collection easily until the advent of mp3 playlists. But the iPod changed that. I loaded all of my CDs on an external hard drive, synched my iPod, and had all of my songs in a handheld device no bigger than my wallet. Or so I thought.

Turns out, I had too much music to fit on one iPod. So it was great to have *most* of my favorite music on the iPod so I could easily take it in the car or listen to on a single system within my house, but I still wanted access to all my songs and the single iPod couldn't pump music throughout the whole house without some costly wiring expenses. And along comes the Sonos system...

I had first read about the product nearly a year ago and it had gotten rave reviews wherever I looked. Thinking it was out of my price range though, I never really considered purchasing it. However, I then began to research different alternatives. The more I price compared a total solution (ie: running speaker wire throughout an existing house, a central media manager so I could run different and/or the same feed(s) to different rooms, and a remote to control it all), the more attractive the Sonos system became. Given all of the extra costs with a different system (not to mention the inevitable set up frustration), I was convinced that the Sonos system was my answer. But could this finally be IT or was I going to be let down by something that seemed to be soooo good, it almost seemed overhyped?

Without question, the answer is yes, this...is...IT. It is honestly the easiest computer interface/setup I have ever used. Connect a ZonePlayer to your router, press a couple of buttons, and follow the on screen prompts. Then follow a similar procedure to connect the remote (Sonos Controller). Another ZonePlayer in another room set up via the Controller (quicker than the 1st), and you're good to go. The remote controls up to 32 ZonePlayers (ie-rooms) so it should satisfy anyone's needs if you want to expand (and you'll want to!).

After 15 minutes, you'll be listening to Bach in the Basement, Frampton in the Family Room, and Sinatra in the bedroom. Or listen to the same thing all over the house. And the best part? There are NO buffering issues in this wireless music system. How'd they do it? I don't know, but it really does work.

Another important feature that is often downplayed but nearly equally cool, is the RCA input on each ZonePlayer. This allows you to connect an external source and send it throughout the rest of the system. So you can connect a tuner to one of the ZonePlayers, and then send your favorite radio station to the rest of your house. Connect another to a TV and send the TV's audio throughout the house. What for, you ask? I agree, I won't be using it for regular shows, but it should be great for sports and being able to keep up with the game when I run outside. To make that happen...

I'm hoping to add another ZonePlayer outside in the Spring so I can go from the upstairs to the main floor to the basement and even outside, all the while listening to the same song throughout the journey. I'm really looking forward to the good weather!

So as you can see, I just can't praise this product enough. For those of you who think it's expensive, compare it to a full solution like I did. If you have a large CD/mp3 collection and an imperfect listening solution, this is the one product that can tie it all together easily and achieve that sonic nirvana you've been searching for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music Everywhere!, May 13, 2006
By T. Arevalo "The Doc" (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The demo on the Sonos website tells you everything you need to know. This system is incredible! I initially bought one ZP100 Music bundle to be sure it worked with my iMac G4 (800MHz) as advertised. It worked flawlessly, and so I bought another ZP100 bundle and a single ZP80 to put my home theater in the Sonos network. Now I have music all over my house which I can control from my iMac or each of the two iPod like remote controllers. I organize all my music with iTunes, including album artwork which is wonderfully displayed on the Sonos controller.

Things to keep in mind. Yes, it is pricey, but it is significantly less expensive than high end room wiring solutions. The system cannot play protected (DRM) files from iTunes Music Store or other vendors (there is a work-around for this). Once I learned about this product, I stopped buying iTunes music (which I seldom did anyway) and started buying CDs. Overall the ZP100 is the way to go because you don't need to turn anything on or off. You leave it on and you have music whenever you want. The ZP80 is for your ampilified system which you may not be leaving on all the time.

May I also suggest the Sony SS-MB350H. These are highly rated bookshelf speakers (Consumer reports) and I agree with their rating. I bough 4 pairs for my ZP100s!

I bought directly form Sonos. Great Teach support. I had a dead controller (replaced within a week), and I had a network problem that was easily fixed (power cycled the ethernet hub).

5.0 out of 5 stars drives two pairs of speakers easily; some delay from analog sources, October 12, 2005
By Philip Greenspun (Cambridge, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I set up a 3-zone system in about 15 minutes and the Sonos system is just about perfect for playing tracks from a computer hard drive. The power amp in a single Zone Player had no trouble driving two pairs of loudspeakers (i.e., you can do two rooms with one Zone Player if you accept that they cannot be independently controlled for volume). My only caveat is that if you use the analog input to digitize a signal from a traditional stereo it will come out of the other zones with a slight delay. You can correct this by using the tape monitor loop on the traditional stereo so that it too is playing from a Sonos.
