Sonos has a new flagship wireless speaker, the PLAY:5 which, in addition to horizontal orientation as a standalone speaker, two SONOS PLAY:5s paired together vertically can deliver top-of-the-line stereo sound with a focused and intense sweet spot. Paired horizontally, they create a larger stereo image for an immersive, room-filling listening experience. The new speaker costs CAD $549 each.
Sonos also released new a speaker-tuning app called Trueplay which allows existing Sonos users to tune their Sonos speakers to optimize the sound no matter where the speaker is placed.
“Trueplay is a revolutionary system that gives music lovers confidence that they’re hearing what their favorite artists labored to produce, independent of the room’s acoustics and speaker location,” said CEO John MacFarlane. “Finally there’s a simple, reliable process that delivers studio-quality listening experiences in each room of the home.”
