Houses can be quite big these days. Even small houses are often built in such a way that you cannot hear music playing a couple of rooms away. One solution is to use a number of small, cheap portable stereos, but the sound quality suffers significantly. Sonos players – being essentially an advanced speaker with a wireless card – solve that problem. The advantage of these devises does not stop there, though. If you wanted to listen to the same music in every room, you would ordinarily have to buy several copies of the same CD or suffer the radio. With a Sonos, you can have the same or different music playing wherever you like and control each speaker independently from the free app for your smart phone. Sonos players use wireless technology to receive audio data, either from the internet or your own personal music library, enabling you to pick almost any song in the world to play at any time. The biggest plus, however, is the quality. A cheap stereo will usually be bad at just about everything it does. The CD player is of very low quality, the radio will have very poor reception, the tape deck – if it is old enough to have one - is entirely redundant, and the speakers are so low quality that a song you’ve loved for years will be barely recognisable, particularly at full volume. The Sonos system uses digital amplification and numerous speakers to produce sharp, room-filling sound. The sound systems sold by Sonos Australia provide a remarkably good audio quality for the size of box they arrive in. Comparable in size to a portable stereo, they produce a sound equivalent to an expensive HiFi. The Sonos PLAY:5 is approximately equivalent in size to an old ghetto-blaster or boom box. The PLAY:3 is similar in size to a small portable stereo. Particularly with the little CD-playing portables, the sound quality seriously suffers because the output quality has been sacrificed for size. The PLAY:3, by comparison, uses three digitally amplified speakers. It boasts a tweeter for the high notes, a subwoofer for the low notes and a mid-range for everything in between. This means that, no matter the extent of the vocal range of the singer nor the wandering skill of the guitarist, the sound will never pixelate. With wireless technology being used for the music input in Sonos Australia's systems, virtually the entire unit can be set aside for top quality speakers instead of bolting them on as an afterthought. It brings the focus of a music player back to where it should be: the music and the excellent audio quality at which it is transmitted, not the convenience of mobility. It is better to enjoy the music with an immobile device than to listen to barely discernible white noise.
