The Sonos One is a smart speaker developed by Sonos, announced on October 4, 2017 and scheduled for release on October 24.[2] The speaker contains a six-microphone array, allowing use of the virtual assistant Amazon Alexa.[3] In 2018, the smart speaker will also add support for Google Assistant and Apple's AirPlay 2.[4]

Design

Hardware

The Sonos One features two Class-D amplifiers, a subwoofer, a tweeter, and six far-field microphones.[5] It also has an AC and Ethernet port on the back of the speaker and is capable of 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi connection. It runs on a 64-bit motherboard.

Software

The Sonos Controller app mainly controls and sets up the speaker, but can also connect other music services like Amazon Music, Pandora Radio, and iHeart Radio through voice interaction.[6] As with its predecessor, the speaker can link with SonosNet, a mesh network to play media for one, some or all speakers regardless of location. The speaker communicates with the companion app and music streaming services through Wi-Fi.
