Features:

Wireless, multi-room control from the palm of your hand

• Integrated, multi-room control: Control what music is playing in every room in your house, from anywhere in your house. Sonos Controllers aren’t tied to a specific ZonePlayer, so you can use any Controller to control the music and the volume in all your rooms. Everything about the CONTROL – from the touch screen display to the dedicated buttons – is carefully designed to make finding and playing your music a snap.
  
• Multi-room playback options: Wirelessly play the same song in every room of the house – perfectly synchronized. Or, mix it up and play different songs in different rooms.
  
• See what’s playing anywhere in your house: The Now Playing screen gives you a detailed view of what’s playing, complete with full-color album art, elapsed time of a song and more. Press the Zones button to see an overview of what’s playing in each room of the house. Group your zones together or play different songs in different rooms – without interrupting music playback.
  
• Volume control — for every room: Change the volume in one room or many rooms, all from the same screen. If music is playing in multiple rooms, just slide your finger across the screen to set the perfect level in every single room.
  
• SonosNet wireless mesh network: Enjoy the best wireless performance of any networked music product on the market, thanks to SonosNet, our secure AES encrypted wireless mesh network. SonosNet extends the range of the CONTROL and avoids sources of wireless interference by communicating with the closest ZonePlayer, rather than through one distant access point like most other wireless solutions. The Sonos Control also has multiple antennas to provide great wireless performance.
  

• Get in touch with your music: Scroll through your music library and radio stations with a flick of your finger. View album art while browsing. Play, pause, skip or rewind with a simple touch. All thanks to the high-quality, fast-responding, capacitive glass touch screen.
  
• Search: Instantly find an artist, song, radio station, or radio show by typing on the on-screen keyboard. Matches appear as you type, so you can start playing your music super fast.
  
• Power scroll: Browse through long lists in your music library alphabetically so you can quickly find your favorites.
  
• Display of album art: View full-screen and thumbnail views of album art, smooth animations and rich graphics with the vibrant, 3.5” full-color VGA display (640x480 pixels).
  
• Single library view: Regardless of where your music is stored, Sonos presents a single view of your entire library (all artists, albums, composers, genres, etc). Browse by Artist, Album, Genre, Track Name, Composer, or Playlist.
  
• Queue-based music playback: You can queue-up music to play next while listening to what’s playing now – then hand the Controller to someone else to pick the next song.
  

• Pre-loaded Internet radio stations — free of charge: Sonos includes more than 100,000 radio stations, shows, and podcasts – all for free. And you can tune in without turning on your computer. Browse for stations or type in specific call letters or a radio host you love.
• Get endless music from the most popular online music services: Sonos works seamlessly with Deezer, iheartradio, Last.fm, Napster®, Pandora®, Rdio®, Rhapsody®, SiriusXM™ Internet Radio, Spotify®, Wolfgang’s Vault®, and downloads from any service offering DRM-free tracks. (Service availability varies by region.)
  
• Enjoy computer-free music playback: Get instant access to millions of songs and thousands of radio stations — without ripping, downloading or turning on a computer. Sonos connects directly to these services over the Internet and then streams the music to the rooms of your choice.
  
• Liberate the music on your computer and enjoy it in every room: Sonos can play music stored on up to 16 PCs, Macs or NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices on your home network, supporting the most popular audio formats, from iTunes® to MP3.
• Stream music from an iPhone®, iPad™ or iPod touch®: Simply connect an Apple AirPort Express® to any ZonePlayer via line-in and experience true multi-room AirPlay.
• Listen to music that’s stored on an iPod or iPhone: Dock, charge and wirelessly play the music from an iPod or iPhone with the Sonos Wireless Dock.
• Play music and audio from a CD or MP3 player, TV and more throughout the home: Analog audio inputs let you connect to an external audio source (such as a CD or MP3 player, TV, DVD, VCR, or radio) and play that music or audio on all ZonePlayers in the system.
• Learn about the music that’s playing and discover more music: With select music services (Rhapsody and Last.fm), you can get even more detailed music information, like artist bios, album reviews, upcoming concerts, and similar artists. Just touch the Info View button (i) in the Now Playing screen and discover more music you’re sure to love.

• Long battery life: The high-capacity battery eliminates the need to constantly recharge your Sonos Control — perfect for parties.
