Sonos Introduces the 'Move' Battery-powered Speaker
Sonos takes its first step out of the home with Sonos Move, a battery-powered smart speaker for sound indoors, outdoors, and on the go.
A full part of the Sonos system on WiFi with the added range of Bluetooth, Move is a powerful speaker that resets the bar for portable speakers. Preorder today with global availability starting 24 September for €399.
Move supports more than a hundred streaming services, multiple voice assistants, AirPlay2, and more. Available globally this September, Move is one of three new products from Sonos launching this autumn, joined by Sonos Port and Sonos One SL.
Suited for indoor listening and powerful sound on the go, Move is featuring powerful wireless range. When away from home, Move is Sonos’s first product with Bluetooth audio streaming, making it simple to play audio directly from a phone or tablet to Move.
To ensure an even better listening experience in all the places where Move could go, both indoors and outdoors, Sonos built on it’s Trueplay tuning technology with the introduction of automatic Trueplay where the speaker tunes itself to balance the sound for the environment.
Move features an oval shadow-black design. Its premium design pulls no punches outdoors where Move’s tough, durable exterior will withstand falls, bumps, rain and moisture, dust and dirt, UV and extreme temperatures, and features a rating of IP56.
Built to play all day, Move’s battery allows for up to ten hours of continuous play time on a single charge. At home, Move slides on and off the included indoor charging base to connect every time. Suspend mode, enabled automatically when not in use or by tapping the power button, reserves the battery for up to five days.
As the first company to support both leading voice assistants, like other voice-enabled Sonos devices, the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa are built right in, so you can play music, check the news, control smart home devices, ask questions, and much more completely hands-free when on WiFi. As part of Sonos’s platform that prioritises choice, connect to more than 100 streaming services—music, audiobooks, podcasts, and more—and control via the Sonos App, with AirPlay 2, or direct from music service apps.
Move is available globally on sonos.com and through partner retailers starting 24 September for €399.
Sonos One SL
One SL delivers room-filling sound like Sonos One, without built-in microphones. A smart speaker without integrated voice assistants, One SL is a full member of the Sonos sound system to listen to more than 100 streaming services controlled with the Sonos App, Apple AirPlay2, music service apps, and more. One SL replaces Play:1 and is available globally starting 12 September 12 for €199.
One SL features two Class-D amplifiers, as well as the original Sonos Trueplay tuning technology that optimises the sound for any room. You can pair with Sonos One or another One SL in the same room for stereo separation and more detailed sound—or use a pair as rear home cinema surrounds with Playbar, Playbase, or Beam.
Sonos Port
From any source to any speaker, Port brings Sonos streaming to a stereo or receiver. The successor to the original Connect, Port delivers richer sound and extends Sonos’s sound platform to traditional home audio equipment. Port will be available in limited quantities starting 12 September, with broad global availability starting January 2020 for €449.
Designed with the professional installer community in mind, Port features a matte black finish design to fit on a shelf or stacked in an AV rack. Optimised for sound and ease of use, Port includes an updated digital-to-analogue converter and 12V trigger, which automatically turns on an amplifier when signalled from the Sonos app. Easily control content using AirPlay 2, voice control with Alexa or the Google Assistant when wirelessly connected with smart devices, and integrate with the smart home.
You can stream music, podcasts, audiobooks, and internet radio on amplified audio equipment. And with a line-in option, easily stream vinyl, CDs, and stored audio files to other Sonos speakers to enjoy listening in more rooms.
