Sonos ZP100 - Zone Player - Wireless Music System

Product Information

As we said in our opinion piece, the Sonos backlash simply reveals the cold hard truth of smart tech– it has a shelf life, especially if you want the latest features and updates. Finally, on the off chance you do not wish to stream online music through the Sonos Controller for Android app, they’ve also included your basic two channel RCA input.

It has one pair of stereo power outputs that delivers 55 watts RMS per channel and a line-level mono output for a powered subwoofer.
