Sonos One – Voice Controlled Smart Speaker

Posted on by NinjaAric
Sonos One

Sonos One blends great sound with Amazon Alexa, the easy-to-use voice service, for hands-free control of your music and more.

Use your voice to play songs while you cook. Tell Alexa to turn the volume up while you’re in the shower. You can even request your favorite lullaby when you’re tucking the kids in.

Sonos One connects with Amazon Alexa easily over Wi-Fi. Just set up the speaker, select the Sonos skill in the Amazon Alexa app, and you’re all set to play music, get news and answers, manage your smart devices, and enjoy everything else Alexa does use nothing but your Sonos One.

Since Alexa responds to any voice, anyone in your home can take charge of the music. Kids can call out their favorite sing-alongs. Friends can skip or replay tracks and adjust audio settings, no app required. Party guests can request their favorite songs in real-time. No matter who says it, Sonos plays it.

Sonos-Play-One

The convenient combination of your voice and the Sonos app allow you to manage everything you listen to in one place. You can start and control music using just your voice when you’re listening to Spotify*, Amazon Music (Prime or Unlimited), TuneIn radio, Pandora, and iHeartRadio. Or start songs on Apple Music, Deezer or any other streaming service with your app, then use voice requests to skip or replay tracks, pause the music, adjust the volume and more. Since Sonos and Amazon Alexa are continually updating with new features, services, and skills, your music and voice options will both keep getting better over time.

 

SONOS ONE FEATURES

Starpower Sonos One – Voice Controlled Smart Speaker

Control Sonos with your voice

Sonos One allows you to start and control your music with your voice. Amazon Alexa built right in. Use your voice and the Sonos app to control and manage all your music in one place: Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, radio, podcasts and much more.

 

Everything that Alexa does

Play songs, check news and traffic, manage smart devices and enjoy all those other helpful Amazon Alexa skills using a single Sonos speaker.

 

Control any way you want

Sonos One seamlessly syncs voice, app, and touch commands, enabling you to manage music with a single word, tap of the app, or swipe of the speaker. Combine voice with the Sonos app to manage all your music in one place.

 

Multi-room listening

Sonos One wirelessly connects to Sonos speakers in additional rooms, allowing you to expand your Home Sound System when you’re ready.

 

Superior sound

Enjoy surprisingly rich, room-filling sound from a smart speaker.

 

Seamless design

Seamless all-black or all-white color, smooth matte finish, durable metal grille for an appearance that fits in any home.

Complete privacy

An illuminated LED indicator light ensures you always know when your speaker’s microphone is active. Or turned off. Sonos One is designed with extra security — the hard-wire LED connection ensures no one is listening when you want privacy.

 

Custom Microphone Array

Sonos One is built with a custom 6-microphone array to hear you from anywhere in the room, no matter how loud the music is playing. With smart voice capture and noise cancellation, the Sonos One ensures you’re heard.

 

Responsive Audio Chime

Alexa provides an audio chime to let you know Sonos One has heard you and is
working on a response.

 

Proven design

Built on the mini-but-mighty blueprints of PLAY:1, Sonos One is backed by a
pair of Class-D amplifiers and custom-built drivers, meticulously tuned to the
speaker’s unique acoustic architecture.

 

Touch controls

Tap to turn up the volume. Swipe to skip a track. Mute the microphone for privacy. Sonos One’s touch controls are always a tap away.

 

Fits almost anywhere

Mount Sonos One to the wall, ceiling or a speaker stand. Its small size also makes it perfect for bookshelves, counters and snug spaces.

 

Humidity resistant

Designed to be moisture resistant, Sonos One streams your favorite songs in music starved places like bathrooms and outdoor patios. All you need is Wi-Fi
and a power source.

 

Trueplay speaker tuning

Trueplay fine-tunes Sonos One to ensure you get the very best sound in any room, no matter where you put it.

 

Modular

Pair two Sonos Ones together in the same room for instant stereo sound; add a Sub for deep bass. Or pair with your TV’s Playbar or Playbase for epic home theater surround sound.

 

Add to your Sonos Home Sound System

Sonos One wirelessly syncs with your entire Sonos Home Sound System.
Fill separate rooms with different songs. Or group them together to hear the
same song throughout the house.

 

Better over time

Since Sonos is continually updating with new features, services, and skills, your
music and voice options will both keep getting better over time.

Wake Up the Silent Home with SONOS

Somewhere between music fitting into our pockets, screens taking over and home audio getting either too complicated or sounding too crappy, we stopped listening to music out loud at home.

We’ve become tethered to our screens. Isolated by earbuds. The tap-tap of emails and social media are now the soundtrack to our evenings.

This is The Silent Home.

What is SONOS?

Sonos blends spectacular fidelity with genuine convenience to bring back the shared, seductive joy of listening out loud, to the right song at just the right instant, in that one place that matters most.

The Silent Home wakes up.

Life reappears.

Music to One’s Ears

Posted on by Chris LaSanta
Starpower Music To One'S Ears

If you read my some of my past blogs, then you probably saw the one about SONOS, the really cool system that allows you to listen to music from several different sources in any room of the house.  Well I’m excited to talk about something very similar EXCEPT with this system you don’t have to have a box sitting somewhere in your house. Box or no box, the SONOS is absolutely cool and an amazing device to have, but with all of the products on the market today, it doesn’t stop and end there.

For those of you who didn’t have a chance to read the SONOS blog, let me back up a step and introduce multi-room audio. Multi-room audio is the ability to listen to music via almost unlimited sources (CD, IPOD, SIRIUS, Pandora etc.) in any room of your house.  You can also listen from a different source in each room. Mom can rock out to the oldies in the gym, Dad can clean the pool to Merle in the back yard, and brother and sister can study while jamming to the latest and greatest in their I-libraries in their bedrooms.

One system that I find very intriguing is the Russound System. This system is fantastic because it is built into the walls of a new home, or can still be built into the walls of an existing home. This system does not take up any room on your desk or dresser, and all you ever see is the panel on the wall of each room you want it in. This multi-room audio is top notch because it can also serve as an intercom system.  Talk about serious automation.

Of course, Starpower Home Entertainment always has several brands to choose from, so if your sold on the idea of a multi-room audio system but want to examine your options, then stop by your nearest Starpower today and start talking about your first step towards wireless audio to suit everyone’s style.
