Vann's Carries Sonos' New ZonePlayer S5 Wireless Music System

Vann's Carries Sonos' New ZonePlayer S5 Wireless Music System

MISSOULA, Mont., Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Music lovers, take note - Sonos' ZonePlayer S5 will serve up your favorite tunes from your favorite sources wirelessly throughout your home, and you can control it with an iPhone or iPod Touch. Vann's and Vanns.com carry the new all-in-one wireless music system. Visit http://www.vanns.com/sonos-s5 for more information.

The unit itself is a combination music server and iPod dock with a five-driver speaker system that packs a big sound. Sonos uniquely designed the S5 with an all-digital sound architecture. Two tweeters, two mid-range drivers, and a built-in single subwoofer are each individually powered by a dedicated digital amplifier.

The aspect music lovers will enjoy the most, however, is instant access to a myriad of music sources. The internet-connected S5 can access over 25,000 Internet radio stations, shows and podcasts - all free of charge and pre-loaded on Sonos. For those who prefer music services, Sonos works seamlessly with the most popular ones to provide computer-free access to Last.fm, Napster, Rhapsody, Pandora, SIRIUS Internet Radio, and Deezer. The S5 also gives you instant access to any iTunes library stored on any computer or Network Attached storage, such as an Apple Time Capsule. With the analog audio input, users can connect to an external audio source (such as iPod, CD player, TV, DVD, VCR, or radio) and play music or audio on all ZonePlayers in the system.

Controlling the S5 is as simple as using the iPhone or iPod Touch. With the free Sonos Controller for iPhone app (available on the iTunes App Store), you can search for songs and stations, choose the music and control the volume in as many rooms as you like. And because the iPhone is controlling the music and not the source of it, when a text or call comes in, the music doesn't stop. That also means you can keep the iPhone in your pocket, not in a dock. The S5 also includes free Sonos Controller software for Mac or PC.

Sonos specializes in developing expandable audio systems with components that integrate easily into the existing setup. The S5 simply plugs in where you want music. It can be connected directly to a network hub to access and relay Internet as well as locally stored music content. For wireless operation, one ZonePlayer or Sonos ZoneBridge (sold separately) must be connected to the router. The additional S5 will synchronize wirelessly with the existing Sonos device to deliver music wherever the unit is placed.
