| Now you can have instant access to your entire digital music collection from anywhere in your home, inside or out. |
The Sonos Controller uses SonosNet, a secure wireless mesh network that extends the range of your Controller throughout your entire home. Which means you don't have to run to your PC every time you want to turn on, change or turn off your music. Control everything from the volume to music selection in any room from anywhere.
When it comes to scrolling through music libraries, searching for songs, viewing album art, choosing zones, and more, the large,full-color LCD screen and scroll wheel make it a real cinch. To get started, just pick a room, pick a song and hit play.
