With the Sonos® Controller in hand, you'll have
instant access to your entire digital music collection, plus select online
music and radio services, from almost anywhere.
That's because the Sonos Controller uses SonosNet™,
our secure, wireless mesh network that extends the range of your Controller
throughout your entire home.
Which means you don't have to run to your PC every
time you want to find a new tune or raise the volume.
You can use up to 32 Controllers for all your
ZonePlayers™—like one for every room, floor or music lover in your house.
When it comes to scrolling through music libraries,
searching for songs, viewing album art, choosing zones, and more, the large,
full-color LCD screen and scroll wheel make it a real cinch.
To get started, just pick a room, pick a song and hit
play
Wireless, handheld control
Integrated, multi-room control lets you control what
music is playing in every room in your house, from anywhere in your house.
Control of your music is not tied to the room where you're listening.
SonosNet™ is a secure AES encrypted, peer-to-peer
wireless mesh network that extends the range of the Controller to any room in
your house, even outside. Avoids sources of wireless interference by
communicating with the closest ZonePlayer, rather than through one distant
control point.
