Sonos is the world’s leading sound experience company. As the inventor of multi-room
wireless home audio, is known for delivering an unparalleled sound experience, thoughtful design aesthetic, simplicity of use, and an open platform, and their newest speakers, the Era 300 and Era 100, are stunning developments in their already breathtaking catalogue.
Era 300 is a bold, revolutionary new speaker built to deliver the best experience for out loud spatial audio with Dolby Atmos, while Era 100 is a remastering of the best-selling Sonos One. Tuned by award-winning artists and engineers, the Era family powers new levels of immersive listening with expanded connectivity and Trueplay technology. Era 300 and Era 100 are also the first speakers built to Sonos’ new responsible design standards, which span long-term serviceability, energy-efficient technologies and use of post-consumer recycled materials.
Both Era 300 (R10 999.00) and Era 100 (R6 499.00) will be available globally on March 28, 2023. In support of the exciting new launch, Sonos CEO Patrick Spence says, “In an age of constant background noise, quality listening matters more than ever. Our vision is to make listening an experience that is charged with feeling, and help our customers feel joy and vitality through their favourite music and audio content.”
Here are some features of the Era 300:
- Designed for spatial: Era 300 wraps its beautifully complex acoustic architecture in an elegantly cinched hourglass design, with every angle, proportion and perforation enhancing the direction and dispersion of sound to truly surround you.
- Surreal surround sound: Era 300 is the brand’s first speaker that delivers multi-channel surround sound when used as home theatre rears. Movie fans can pair two speakers with Arc or Beam (Gen 2) to create a supercharged Dolby Atmos experience that draws them deeper into the action.
- Deep music industry collaboration: Sonos worked closely with its community of leading artists and creators – including Sonos Soundboard members – to meticulously fine-tune Era 300 so listeners can enjoy sound straight from the studio that’s true to the artist’s intent.
Here are some features of the Era 100:
Now in stereo: Two angled tweeters send crisp high frequencies left and right for a rich stereo experience, while a larger midwoofer creates stunning bass that’s unexpected from a single compact speaker.- Small but mighty: Packed full of audio and tech enhancements, Era 100’s slim, modern design
makes it a chic accent piece for any bookshelf, kitchen counter, desk or nightstand. - Customise your system: Level-up movie night by adding two Era 100 speakers as rears with your sound-bar to create a surround sound system, or simply pair two together for room-filling stereo sound.
Building on Sonos’s timeless acoustic-driven design aesthetic, Era 100 and Era 300 are responsive to the challenges facing our environment—and better for everyone who interacts with their designs, featuring a bold new UI and innovations that will help them last longer, use less energy and make use of recycled materials in each product. “Our commitment to sustainability is embedded in our design process from the start, with the Era family marking a major step forward in our journey to create products that last beyond expectation, perform more efficiently, and use safer and circular materials.” said Kitty Suidman, Design Director, Product Sustainability.
