Wireless, multi-room control from the palm of your hand
Control all your music and all your ZonePlayers from the palm of your hand. Control of your music is not tied to the room where you’re listening so you can control what’s playing in every room in your house from anywhere in the house.
Quickly find and play the music you love with touch screen simplicity
When it comes to scrolling through music libraries, searching for songs, viewing album art, choosing zones, and more, the Sonos Controller’s touch screen display makes it all incredibly easy…and fun. Just pick a room, pick a song and touch play.
Instant access to endless music
Sonos liberates the music on your computer and the Internet so you can play it all over the house. With the touch of a finger you can find and play songs from your personal music library stored on your computer, plus thousands of free Internet radio stations. And Sonos works seamlessly with the most popular music services so you can stream millions of songs and stations from the Internet to the rooms of your choice.
100% dedicated to multi-room music control
The Sonos Controller is focused on one thing and one thing only — controlling your Sonos system. Everything is designed to make choosing your rooms and playing your music super fast and easy. Dedicated Mute, Volume and Zones buttons are shortcuts to the things you do most. The Controller responds instantly — simply pick it up or touch the screen and you’re ready to take control. And the high-capacity battery lasts an incredibly long time so you won’t have to recharge in the middle of a party.
New features and music services with automatic updates
Unlike most other consumer electronic products, the Controller and the entire Sonos system keep getting better even after you buy it. With free automatic software updates you’ll always have the newest features and music services to enjoy. Just register your system and Sonos will automatically notify you when software updates are available. Simply touch a button and your system updates itself.
Wireless, multi-room control from the palm of your hand
Integrated, multi-room control
Control what music is playing in every room in your house, from anywhere in your house. Controllers aren’t tied to a specific ZonePlayer, so you can use any Controller to control the music and the volume in all your rooms. Everything about the Controller – from the touch screen display to the dedicated buttons – is carefully designed to make finding and playing your music a snap.
Multi-room playback options
Wirelessly play the same song in every room of the house – perfectly synchronized. Or, mix it up and play different songs in different rooms.
See what’s playing anywhere in your house
The Now Playing screen gives you a detailed view of what’s playing, complete with full-color album art, elapsed time of a song and more. Press the Zones button to see an overview of what’s playing in each room of the house. Group your zones together or play different songs in different rooms – without interrupting music playback.
Volume control — for every room
Change the volume in one room or many rooms, all from the same screen. If music is playing in multiple rooms, just slide your finger across the screen to set the perfect level in every single room.
SonosNet wireless mesh network
Enjoy the best wireless performance of any networked music product on the market, thanks to SonosNet, our secure AES encrypted wireless mesh network. SonosNet extends the range of the Controller and avoids sources of wireless interference by communicating with the closest ZonePlayer, rather than through one distant access point like most other wireless solutions. The Controller also has multiple antennas to provide great wireless performance.
