Now you can play all your favourite music, all over
your house, on all your favourite audio equipment—your home theatre receiver,
stereo system, powered speakers, and more.
Just connect a Sonos® ZonePlayer™ 80 (ZP80) to any
amplified audio device in any room, and that device is instantly and
seamlessly part of a wireless, multi-room digital music system.
Which means you can use the full-colour Sonos
Controller to wirelessly control your music from the palm of your hand.
You can also use a ZP80 to retrofit a conventional
audio system with home-run speakers.
No matter where or how you use the amazingly compact
ZP80, the digital and analog outputs will deliver superior sound to every
room.
