Press Release
New Sonos Bundle 130 Allows Music Lovers to Wirelessly Play and Control Music in Two Rooms of the HouseHILVERSUM, THE NETHERLANDS – May 25, 2007 – Sonos Europe BV, a subsidiary of Sonos, Inc., the leading developer of wireless multi-room music systems for the digital home, today introduced a new Sonos Bundle attractively priced at £699. The Sonos Bundle 130 (BU130) is a direct response to European customer requests for a new introductory bundle. The BU130 includes three of Sonos' key products—one Sonos ZonePlayer 80 (ZP80), one Sonos ZonePlayer 100 (ZP100) and one Sonos Controller 100 (CR100)—enabling customers to wirelessly stream music to two rooms and control all that music from anywhere. The Sonos BU130 is sold at qualified Sonos dealers or directly from Sonos at www.uk.sonos.com.
In a recent Sonos survey, new customers said they strongly preferred a mixed ZonePlayer bundle as the ideal way to get started with Sonos. Now, in one package, a new customer will find a ZP80 which can be connected to an existing stereo or home theater receiver to instantly make it part of a digital music system; a ZP100 which can be connected to speakers and placed in any room; and a CR100 providing wireless multi-room control of all your music from any room in the house.
"Sonos strives to make it easy for consumers to purchase, set up and enjoy music all over the house with our wireless digital music system," said John MacFarlane, CEO of Sonos. "This new bundle is the best value for a music lover to enjoy music in two rooms and control it all from the palm of their hand."
The BU130 is the most cost effective in Sonos history. The new bundle pricing represents a 20% discount off of the sum of the individual components.
Also as part of today's announcement, Sonos has adjusted the European pricing across the entire Sonos Digital Music System product line to make the system more accessible to a wider audience. The new pricing for the Sonos Digital Music System is as follows:
• Sonos Bundle 130 - £699
• Sonos ZonePlayer 80 - £249
• Sonos ZonePlayer 100 - £349
• Sonos Controller 100 - £279

• Sonos Loudspeaker 100 - £129
* All pricing includes VAT.
All previous Sonos bundles, the ZP100 Bundle (BU101) and the ZP80 Bundle (BU80) will be discontinued.
In keeping with Sonos' tradition of continually improving the home music experience, the company also announced today the release of Sonos 2.2 software to all Sonos customers. The one-button software upgrade includes better music services support, more alarm clock choices, improved Internet radio reliability with automatic connection restart, FLAC album art support, and more.
