Sonos introduces new ZonePlayer 120 (ZP120) and ZonePlayer 90 (ZP90). The ZonePlayers deliver multi-room music experience with innovative wireless technology and amplifier design. The new Sonos ZonePlayers allow you to add music to any room. Connect speakers to the amplified ZP120 and place it in the bedroom or backyard while the non-amplified ZP90 can do wonders when connected to a home theater or stereo.

“Sonos’ mission is to fill every house—and every room—with music,” said Phil Abram, President & Chief Operating Officer, Sonos, Inc. ”These new products continue Sonos’ heritage of blending the latest technology, software and user experience to create an unmatched music experience in the home.”

The Sonos ZonePlayers equip the latest wireless mesh network technology called SonosNet 2.0. This technology doubles the wireless range of the Sonos system.
