Sonos Returns to the System That Built the Brand with Two Essential Speakers That Deliver Effortless Sound Throughout the HomeMarch 10, 2026 9:30 AM
Business Wire
Sonos Play and Era 100 SL make it easier than ever to start and grow a Sonos system
Sonos (Nasdaq: SONO) today introduced Sonos Play™ and Sonos Era 100™ SL, two new speakers that reflect a renewed focus on strengthening the Sonos system. Designed to deliver powerful, room-filling sound, they make it easier than ever to start and expand it room by room — creating a connected listening experience that grows with you over time.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260310567772/en/Sonos Play is a simple, versatile home speaker with rich stereo sound that’s designed to live at home and move seamlessly beyond it.
“Much of consumer tech promises innovation, yet too often delivers isolation — new devices replacing old ones instead of building on what already works,” said Tom Conrad, Chief Executive Officer of Sonos. “We believe a great sound experience shouldn’t reset every time you add something new. It should get better. Sonos Play and Era 100 SL are a clear expression of what Sonos does best — creating products that feel simple on the surface, but are deeply powerful because of the system behind them.”
Two Essential Speakers. One Powerful Sonos System.
Sonos Play is the brand’s most versatile speaker with rich stereo sound that’s designed to live at home and move seamlessly beyond it.
Part of Your Sonos System: Connect over WiFi to group across rooms or pair for stereo, with a Charging Base to anchor it in your home.
Portable Listening: Designed for everyday carry with a removable utility loop, you can listen on the go with 24 hours of battery life in a durable, IP67-rated waterproof design and a built-in power bank to charge your phone.
Extend Your System Anywhere: For the first time, group multiple speakers directly from a Bluetooth connection when away from home. Connect Sonos Play to your phone, then press and hold Play/Pause on up to three additional Sonos Play or Move 2 speakers to sync them together. Automatic Trueplay™ tuning dynamically adapts the sound to any environment.
Sustainable by Design: Built with optimized power management and a replaceable battery for a lifetime of listening.
Control Seamlessly: Use voice services, Spotify Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, and the Sonos app to bring your music, rooms, and devices together in one experience.
Era 100 SL offers a simplified, more accessible way to enter the Sonos experience. With a mic-free design and streamlined feature set, it delivers confident, room-filling sound on its own and expands effortlessly into the Sonos system over time, whether that means another room, stereo pairing, or building out a home theater experience.
“We believe the first speaker you bring home should sound complete on its own, and become even better as your Sonos system grows,” said Chris Kallai, VP of Product Creation at Sonos. “Sonos Play and Era 100 SL offer two distinct ways to shape a listening experience that fits how people actually live, while making it simple to add new rooms, new moments, and new possibilities over time.”
Easy to Start, Effortless to Expand, and Built to Grow with You
Enjoy your music, podcasts, TV, and movies in every room, with the freedom to choose from 100+ streaming services, use your preferred voice assistant, and listen over WiFi or Bluetooth — indoors or out — all designed to work effortlessly together.
Continuous platform enhancements, expanding compatibility, and products designed to work across generations mean your system evolves with you instead of being replaced. Built in collaboration with industry partners and shaped by feedback from the Sonos community, it’s designed for long-term listening.
And like all Sonos speakers, Sonos Play and Era 100 SL were tuned with input from the Sonos Soundboard, a group of leaders across music, film, and more, to deliver sound that stays true to the artist’s intent.
Sonos Play and Sonos Era 100 SL will be available for pre-order starting March 10, 2026 at sonos.com and select retail partners, priced at $299 and $189 respectively, with general availability on March 31, 2026. For more information, visit sonos.com, and follow along on @sonos.

Sonos Introduces Amp Multi, a Professional-Grade Multi-Channel Streaming Amplifier Built for Evolving HomesJanuary 27, 2026 4:00 PM
Business Wire
Sonos (Nasdaq: SONO) today announced Sonos Amp Multi, a one-of-a-kind multi-channel streaming amplifier designed to make complex residential audio installations simpler, more flexible, and more scalable. Developed for, and in close collaboration with, integrators, Amp Multi extends the SonosTM experience into larger, more sophisticated homes while preserving the quality and simplicity the brand is known for.
Why Amp Multi Exists
As homeowners move toward open floor plans and mixed-use spaces, we heard from integrators they needed a system that could adapt as designs evolve, but without complicating installs or homeowner friction. Amp Multi was created to meet that need.
With eight amplified outputs delivering 125 watts each and up to four configurable zones, Amp Multi gives professionals the freedom to design systems that fit their customer’s home and lifestyle.
“Sonos Amp is the most widely used two-channel streaming amplifier in residential installation because it’s powerful, dependable, and intuitive,” said Tom Conrad, CEO of Sonos. “Amp Multi takes that same philosophy and applies it to larger systems. It makes ambitious designs more efficient to build and install, and easier to live with.”
How Amp Multi is Different
Amp Multi combines Sonos’ streaming platform and intuitive control with an architecture built for professional workflows. Any output can be assigned to any zone, systems can scale by adding units as needed, and high speaker counts can be driven without sacrificing stability or sound quality. Each output supports up to three Sonos Architectural speakers, enabling dense, efficient installations across multiple rooms or spaces.
At the hardware level, Amp Multi uses a highly efficient GaN power architecture paired with Class-D post-filter feedback. This design delivers clean, controlled sound while improving thermal efficiency across every zone, allowing the system to operate silently without fans and remain stable over long periods of use.
Key Capabilities at a Glance
Amp Multi is designed to give integrators flexibility, control and predictability across the entire lifecycle of a project, resulting in a scalable solution that integrates seamlessly with third-party control systems and is tailored to the evolving needs of the custom integration space.
Flexible Multi-Zone Capability: Amp Multi offers eight amplified outputs at 125 W each at 8 ohms, allowing it to drive up to 24 Sonos Architectural speakers (3 per channel). Integrators can configure the outputs in any combination across up to four independent zones, and install multiple Amp Multi units for larger-scale installations.
Premium Performance: An innovative combination of highly efficient GaN power architecture with Class-D post-filter feedback (PFFB) delivers added accuracy, dynamic control, and thermal performance efficiency across every zone. This gives clients a beautifully crisp sound system that operates silently without fans and remains stable over long periods of use.
Fast, Predictable Setup: Each unit emits a unique audible chirp that is triggered from the Sonos app, removing the need for manual PIN entry and reducing time spent identifying hardware in the rack. The Sonos app also enables integrators to manage zones, sources and outputs more efficiently, while homeowners are left with an experience that simply works.
Advanced Tuning and DSP Tools: Amp Multi also introduces ProTune, a new manual sound optimization tool that gives integrators granular control of each output, including a 10-band parametric EQ, gain, width control and delay offset. These tools make it possible to fine-tune sound for challenging speaker placement and room geometry, while Optimize Sonos Speakers delivers detailed DSP profiles for Sonos Architectural speakers.
Rack-Ready Design: Built for modern racks, the 1.5U chassis paired with the dedicated 2U Rack Mount, sold separately, creates built-in ventilation space above and below each unit. This layout removes the need for additional vent panels and helps maintain clean cable management.
Efficient Installation: Amp Multi’s flat-back design and recessed connectors allow the unit to stand upright while the Rack Mount slides into place. The entire install process requires only eight screws, making projects fast and predictable.
“We created Amp Multi with integrators at the heart of every decision, drawing on their deep understanding of real-world installation challenges to design a product around how they actually work,” said Chris Heintzelman, VP, Product at Sonos. “The goal was to reduce friction at every stage of a project, from installation and setup to system tuning. This is about giving professionals more control while keeping the system approachable for the people who live with it every day.”
Advantages of Amp Multi for Integrators
Amp Multi gives integrators a purpose-built solution to scale their business, built on the Sonos ecosystem with tightly integrated hardware and software, broad streaming service support, and flexible control that homeowners can rely on day after day.
Greater Freedom to Design Systems: Amp Multi empowers integrators to create more adaptive layouts by letting any output serve any zone. This flexibility allows fast adjustments as projects evolve, without rewiring or redesigning system plans.
Precision Control for Professional-Grade Results: With tuning tools like Optimize Sonos Speakers and the all-new ProTune feature, integrators gain deeper control over audio shaping, timing, and unique room acoustics. This tool helps them deliver consistent, high-quality sound in complex spaces and rooms that require custom treatment.
Scalable for Ambitious Projects: Amp Multi’s advanced architecture delivers stronger, cleaner output across larger systems. Integrators can confidently drive high speaker counts while maintaining clarity, stability, and balanced performance across every zone.
Designed for How Pros Work: Amp Multi’s rack-forward design and dedicated 2U mount help integrators streamline dense equipment stacks. The improved ventilation and space efficiency mean cleaner racks with more room for the client, easier serviceability, and silent performance.
Reliable Performance with Lower Maintenance: GaN technology and a convection-cooled design reduce common failure points such as fans, dust buildup, and thermal stress. Integrators benefit from systems that stay stable over time, minimizing callbacks and improving client satisfaction.
Amp Multi will be available globally through Sonos installation partners in the coming months. For more information, visit sonos.com, and follow along on @sonos.
Sonos at Integrated Systems Europe 2026
Sonos invites attendees to experience Amp Multi at Integrated Systems Europe, February 3-6, 2026. Located in Hall 1 at booth 1E500, Sonos will offer demonstrations every 15 minutes, alongside hands-on experiences across its full range of premium audio solutions.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/06/technology/google-sonos-patents.html
OAKLAND, Calif. — Google infringed on audio technology patents held by the speaker manufacturer Sonos and it is not allowed to import products that violate Sonos’s intellectual property into the United States, a trade court ruled on Thursday.
The United States International Trade Commission, a quasi-judicial body that decides trade cases and can block the import of goods that violate patents, issued its final ruling on Thursday, closing a two-year investigation into the intellectual property dispute.
The matter will now go to a presidential review. The commission determined that Google had violated the Tariff Act of 1930, which aims to prevent unfair competition through actions such as the import of products that infringe on U.S. patents, trademarks or copyrights. The commission also issued a cease-and-desist order against Google.
The final ruling follows a preliminary finding by a commission judge in August that Google had infringed on Sonos’s patented speaker technology and that it should not be allowed to import products that violate Sonos’s intellectual property. After that initial ruling, the full commission met to consider whether to accept or overturn that decision.
Sonos had asked the trade commission to block imports of Google products that the speaker company says infringes on its patents. They include Google Home smart speakers, Pixel phones and computers, and Google’s Chromecast streaming video device. Those items are made in China and shipped to the United States.
With technology conglomerates under scrutiny from regulators and politicians, smaller rivals are challenging the business practices of the industry’s biggest companies in court. Epic Games, creator of the popular Fortnite game, filed a lawsuit against Apple and Google over App Store commissions. Facebook, now renamed Meta, was sued in November by a now-defunct photo-sharing app called Phhhoto, which asserted that Facebook violated antitrust laws.
Sonos has claimed that it shared details of its technology with Google starting in 2013 when the two companies started working together. Initially, Google was not a competitor, but the company started moving into Sonos’s space — first with a small device to stream music in 2015 and then its Google Home speaker in 2016.
Sonos said Google was violating more than 100 of its patents and proposed a licensing deal to Google. The two companies were unable to reach an agreement.
Sonos also has two pending patent infringement lawsuits against Google in federal court. The first case, filed in January 2020 in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, is stayed pending the International Trade Commission decision since they involve overlapping patents. A second case before the U.S. District Court in San Francisco is proceeding, involving a different set of patents.
This is a developing story. "
