Sonos Play:1

Beskrivelse

The Sonos Play:1 is a compact wireless smart speaker designed for multi-room audio, released by Sonos on October 14, 2013. It’s the smallest and most affordable entry in the Sonos Play line, delivering high-fidelity sound for its size. Here’s a breakdown of its key features in bullet points:

• Audio Components: Features two Class-D digital amplifiers, a 3.5-inch mid-woofer for deep bass and mid-range frequencies, and a tweeter for crisp highs. Frequency response reaches down to 88 Hz, impressive for its size.
• Sound Quality: Delivers rich, clear sound with minimal distortion at high volumes, thanks to Sonos-designed hardware and software. Trueplay tuning adjusts sound based on room acoustics.
• Connectivity: Streams music over Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n, 2.4 GHz) via SonosNet, a mesh network for seamless multi-room playback. Includes an Ethernet port for wired connection. No Bluetooth or battery; requires AC power (120/240V, 50-60 Hz).
• Multi-Room Features: Play different songs in each room or the same song in sync across multiple Sonos speakers. Supports over 100,000 internet radio stations, streaming services (e.g., Spotify, Pandora), and personal music libraries (up to 16 devices like PCs, Macs, or NAS).
• Design: Compact at 4.69 x 6.36 x 4.69 inches (WxHxD) and 4.08 lbs, with a humidity-resistant build for use in bathrooms. Available in black or white with a metal grille. Top panel has play/pause and volume controls; a screw mount allows wall or stand mounting.
• Control: Managed via the Sonos app (iOS, Android, Mac, PC) for setup, music selection, and room control. Supports stereo pairing with another Play:1 for wider sound or as rear speakers in a 5.1 home theater setup with a Playbar and Sub.
• Additional Features: No built-in voice control (unlike the Sonos One), but compatible with Alexa devices for voice commands. Supports crossfade, shuffle, and repeat modes, and playlists from services like iTunes and MusicMatch.

The Play:1 is praised for its robust build, ease of setup, and sound quality, though it lacks portability, Bluetooth, and wired audio inputs. It’s ideal for starting or expanding a Sonos multi-room system.
