Convenient & cost-effective way to get started
In one convenient package, you’ll have everything you need to play and control music in two rooms of your house. In addition to the Sonos Controller, we included both of our ZonePlayers, one amplified and one not, so you can add music to rooms with and without existing audio equipment. And, as an added incentive, we’ve made the price of a bundle almost 20% less than the sum of the individual products.
Best-in-class wireless technology for multi-room music
Sonos brings great-sounding music wirelessly to any room in your house, without a big wiring project. SonosNet 2.0, our latest wireless mesh network technology, provides double the wireless range for whole-house coverage, ensures synchronous music playback, and avoids sources of wireless interference. Which means the music gets to all the right rooms — near or far — at exactly the right time.
Instant access to endless music
Sonos liberates the music on your computer and the Internet so you can play it all, all over the house. From the palm of your hand, you can find and play songs from your personal collection of music stored on your computer, plus thousands of free Internet radio stations. And Sonos works seamlessly with the most popular music services so you can stream millions of songs and stations from the Internet to the rooms of your choice. You can even connect ZonePlayers to your favourite audio source such as an iPod or CD player and listen throughout your house.
 Simple setup
Setting up Sonos is incredibly easy. No technical or wiring expertise required. And no need to break through walls or re-wire your entire house. All you need is a high-speed Internet connection and a router to get started. One ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge in your system must be connected to the router and all the rest will work wirelessly. Add more ZonePlayers and Controllers without adding wires.
 New features and music services with automatic updates
Unlike most other consumer electronic products, the entire Sonos system keeps getting better even after you buy it. With free automatic software updates, you’ll always have the newest features and music services to enjoy. Just register your system and Sonos will automatically notify you when software updates are available. Simply press one button and your system updates itself.

Linn Komponent 104 Speakers

Multiroom audio, Speakers No Comments »

The Linn Komponent 104 Speakers are an elegant and compact speaker design, the perfect match for high-quality systems such as the Linn Classik Music and for use where larger, less stylish designs just wont do. Their cabinets are constructed from solid aluminium, enabling the design to be kept far slimmer than conventional speakers whilst providing superior cabinet strength. This, coupled with the high-grade drivers (derived from Linn’s top-end models) ensures a soundstage that is wide-open across the frequency range.
komponent-104-sil-pair.jpg


The 104s are supplied with adjustable wall brackets for easy mounting or they can be left free-standing on a shelf. In addition, you can select the custom-made, matching aluminium floor stands, which provide a sleek compliment to the design and also boast integrated cable management and a high-mass iron base, for the ultimate in style and stability.

Developed and tested by some of the world’s leading acoustic engineers, Komponent looks great and brings a captivating music and movie experience to your home.

Komponent loudspeakers use extruded aluminium cabinets with advanced damping materials to minimise cabinet vibrations. The single piece structure with no glued joints brings greater rigidity and constructing the Komponent loudspeaker cabinets from aluminium helps to maximise the internal volume of each loudspeaker for the best possible audio performance.

The Komponent 110, 106 and 104 loudspeakers feature Linn’s patented 2K driver array technology which houses both tweeter and super-tweeter in an alloy chassis, isolated from the rest of the cabinet, for an incredibly pure and clean high frequency sound reproduction. The 2K driver array also creates a very wide dispersion of high-frequency signals giving greater flexibility when positioning Komponent loudspeakers in your room.

The Komponent 120, 110, 106 and 104 loudspeakers have also been specifically designed for wall mounting, and at approximately 155mm deep are perfect for mounting alongside a plasma or LCD screen.

The unique design of the Komponent 120 Bass-Reinforcement loudspeaker gives additional flexibility when positioning it within your room. Its attractive, low-profile design means it can be tucked away out of sight or even wall or ceiling mounted, rather than dominating your room.

For a more discrete appearance, Komponent loudspeakers feature invisible ‘Sekrit Fastener’ grilles, held in place by a series of small, powerful magnets below the surface of the loudspeaker cabinet.

The intelligent design of the Komponent loudspeaker system means cables are carefully concealed within the structure of the loudspeaker cabinets, ensuring the system remains as unobtrusive as possible.
