Stand B7, CEDIA UK Expo 2006

The Sonos(TM) ZonePlayer 80 Bundle Transforms Stereo and More into a Wireless, Multi-Room Digital Music System with Full-color Wireless Controller

Sonos, Inc., the developer of wireless multi-room music systems for the digital home, today announced the immediate availability of the Sonos(TM) ZonePlayer 80 Bundle (ZP80 Bundle), an innovative way to turn your favorite audio equipment into a wireless, multi-room digital music system. The new bundle offering extends the Sonos(TM) Digital Music System family of products and includes two incredibly compact Sonos(TM) ZonePlayer 80s (ZP80s) and a Sonos(TM) Controller.

The suggested retail price of the Sonos ZP80 Bundle is $999, and is now available for purchase at authorized Sonos dealers , or directly from Sonos.

The brand new ZP80 Bundle lets you play all your digital music, all over your house, on all your current audio equipment -- your home theater, stereo, powered speakers, premium table top radio such as a Bose Wave(R) radio, and more. By simply connecting a ZP80 to any amplified audio device in any room, that device is instantly and seamlessly part of a wireless, multi-room digital music system. Plus, you can wirelessly control all your music from the palm of your hand with the industryÕs only full-color wireless Controller.

Because all products in the Sonos Digital Music System are designed to work together, you can combine the ZP80 Bundle or individual ZP80s with the Sonos(TM) ZonePlayer 100 (ZP100) with built-in amplifier for true multi-room music in up to 32 rooms.

ÓMusic lovers have often asked Sonos to help them connect the stereo they love to our award-winning digital music system,Ó said John MacFarlane, founder and chief executive officer, Sonos. ÒWith the ZP80 Bundle thatÕs now possibleÑand all for just $999."

The amazingly compact ZP80 has digital (optical and coaxial) and analog outputs to deliver superior sound to every room. It also includes auto-sensing line-in connectors that can digitally encode any line-in source. This allows Sonos users to connect an external audio source, such as an Apple iPod(R), a CD player or satellite radio, to any ZonePlayer and to listen to that music on all the other ZonePlayers in the house.

The Sonos ZP80 Bundle retails for $999 / €1,149.00 (including VAT) / £779.00 (including VAT). The ZP80 retails for $349.00 / €399.00 (including VAT) / £269.00 (including VAT) each. The ZP80 and ZP80 Bundle will be available in Europe by the end of April.
