Sonos has introduced the second generation of its smallest portable speaker, the Sonos Roam 2 with several significant enhancements in design and functionality.

A key upgrade in the Roam 2 is the streamlined Bluetooth pairing process. Unlike the original model, which required initial setup on a home Wi-Fi network using the Sonos app, the Roam 2 allows direct Bluetooth pairing straight out of the box. This change enables users to start listening to their music immediately, eliminating additional steps. A new dedicated Bluetooth pairing button on the back of the speaker replaces the previous multi-functional power button, making the process more intuitive and user-friendly.

In terms of design, the Roam 2 retains its compact form factor but features aesthetic improvements. The Sonos logo is now monochromatic, blending seamlessly with the speaker’s color for a more understated look. It is available in five colors: Olive, Sunset, Wave, Black, and White, offering more variety compared to the original Roam, which had only two color options.

The Roam 2 continues to offer an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, ensuring it can withstand harsh environments. Its construction includes shock-absorbent materials, providing added durability for outdoor use. Despite its rugged build, the speaker maintains a sleek and modern appearance suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings.

Sonos has optimized the battery life of the Roam 2, providing up to 10 hours of continuous playback on a single charge, consistent with the original model. This makes it a reliable companion for extended listening sessions, whether at home or on the go.

The internal driver layout remains the same, featuring one tweeter and one midwoofer, delivering the high-quality sound Sonos is known for. The speaker supports Trueplay, which automatically adjusts the audio to suit the surrounding environment, ensuring optimal sound performance. Additionally, the Roam 2 includes the Sound Swap feature, allowing users to seamlessly transfer audio between any Sonos speakers within their system.

Key Features:

·         Simplified Bluetooth Pairing: Pair directly with a Bluetooth device without initial Wi-Fi setup.

·         Dedicated Bluetooth Button: New button on the back of the speaker for easy Bluetooth pairing.

·         Monochromatic Sonos Logo: Subtle design with the logo matching the device’s color.

·         Compact and Portable Design: Maintains a sleek form factor, ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

·         Extended Battery Life: Up to 10 hours of continuous playback on a single charge.

·         IP67 Rating: Dustproof and fully waterproof, capable of withstanding harsh environments.

·         Shock-Absorbent Materials: Built to be durable and resistant to drops and impacts.

·         Trueplay Tuning: Automatically adjusts audio settings to suit the surrounding environment for optimal sound quality.

·         Sound Swap Feature: Allows seamless transfer of audio between any Sonos speakers.

·         Available Colours: Comes in five colors—Olive, Sunset, Wave, Black, and White.

The latest update for the Smart Visu Server in version 1.2.1800 brings improvements and additions that increase performance and user-friendliness. One of the most important innovations is the introduction of the completely revised commissioning interface SV-Control. The interface has been visually aligned with the SV-Home user interface to ensure a consistent and seamless user experience.

Faster Commissioning

Numerous improvements have been implemented in SV-Control to make working with the JUNG Smart Visu Server more efficient. These include faster storage times, which increase both productivity and freedom from errors. The introduction of a search and filter function enables system integrators to find what they are looking for quickly and easily. In addition, the display has been optimised for mobile devices so that the content is easy to read even on small screens.

New Functions

In addition to the improvements, the update brings numerous new functions to SV-Control that simplify the commissioning of the KNX visualisation. Another addition is the quick assignment of functions. With the “Member Off” function, integrators can quickly see, for example, in which timer a function is integrated. This facilitates configuration and administration. Particularly interesting for end customers is the feature of also displaying texts from SONOS on the KNX room controller LS TOUCH. Users can now see song titles and artists on the control point and scroll through their playlists.

Another important feature of the update is the implementation of KNX Secure in the Smart Visu Server. This means that the system now communicates in encrypted form to ensure the security of the data and the integrity of the system.

Overall, the update to version 1.2.1800 of the Smart Visu Server offers a wide range of improvements and new functions that increase the user-friendliness and performance of the system. With the new SV Control user interface and the numerous optimisations, users can work faster and more efficiently, while the security features ensure that their data is protected. Following the technical redesign, the update now also takes the Smart Visu Server software to a new level and offers an even better smart home experience.

Sonos, the US-based audio device manufacturer, has announced the launch of its Sonos Era 300 and Sonos Era 100 smart speakers in India. The Era 300 is described as a revolutionary speaker designed to provide an exceptional spatial audio experience with Dolby Atmos, while the Era 100 is an update based on the popular Sonos One.

The Sonos Era 300 is priced at Rs 54,999, and the Sonos Era 100 is available at Rs 29,999. Both speakers will be available for purchase from October 20, with pre-orders commencing on October 15 through the Sonos online store.

Sonos Era 300 Highlights:

  • The Era 300 is equipped with six audio drivers powered by Dolby Atmos, delivering immersive sound in all directions, including left, right, forward, and upward.
  • It features an hourglass design with meticulous attention to detail to maximize the dispersion of surround sound.
  • Notably, the Era 300 is Sonos’s first speaker capable of providing multi-channel surround sound when used as home theater rear speakers. Pairing two Era 300 speakers with Sonos Arc or Sonos Beam (Gen 2) enhances the Dolby Atmos experience.

Sonos Era 100 Highlights:

  • Slightly larger than its predecessor, Sonos One, the Era 100 incorporates new hardware and software, offering detailed stereo sound and deep bass.
  • It includes two angled tweeters and a large mid-woofer.
  • The Era 100 combines audio and tech enhancements with a modern design, making it an attractive accent piece.
  • Similar to the Era 300, pairing two Era 100 speakers as rear speakers with your soundbar allows you to create a surround sound system or simply enjoy room-filling stereo sound.

Both the Sonos Era 100 and Era 300 feature a user-friendly interface with a capacitive volume slider for easy control. They also support various control options, including Sonos Voice Control, the Sonos app, Apple AirPlay 2, and Bluetooth.

Sonos continues to innovate and expand its product lineup, providing consumers in India with a range of high-quality smart speaker options for an immersive audio experience.

Bang & Olufsen Unveils Beolab 8: A Compact, Premium Bluetooth Speaker Set. https://www.smarthomeworld.in/bang-olufsen-unveils-beolab-8-a-compact-premium-bluetooth-speaker-set/ Wed, 18 Oct 2023 08:20:48 +0000 https://www.smarthomeworld.in/?p=9064 Bang & Olufsen, the iconic purveyor of premium audio and design, has introduced the Beolab 8, a compact Bluetooth speaker set that combines the best of their renowned Beolab series in a more diminutive form.

Bang & Olufsen, the iconic purveyor of premium audio and design, has introduced the Beolab 8, a compact Bluetooth speaker set that combines the best of their renowned Beolab series in a more diminutive form. This elegantly crafted audio offering is designed for versatile use, whether as a standalone piece or as a stereo pair.

While the compact nature of the Beolab 8 might not be immediately evident from the close-up images, its size is a feature rather than a limitation. Bang & Olufsen emphasizes its adaptability – it can be wall-mounted, placed on the floor, hung from the ceiling, or simply positioned on any flat surface, allowing users to integrate it seamlessly into various living spaces.

In many ways, the Beolab 8 could be seen as Bang & Olufsen’s take on Sonos, sharing some attributes beyond its compact footprint. These features include environmental sound mapping to optimize performance based on the room’s size and contents and a user-friendly touch interface (though, like Sonos, many users may opt for mobile app control).

The Beolab 8 is offered with Bang & Olufsen’s signature wooden lamellas or a fabric front wrapped around a sleek halved-pill aluminum body, embodying a blend of classic and modern design elements.

Beyond its aesthetics, the Beolab 8 impresses with a three-driver setup, featuring a 16mm tweeter, a 3” midrange, and a 5.25” woofer that delivers remarkable audio quality, particularly when used as a stereo pair. Like its taller counterpart, the Beolab 28, the Beolab 8 allows users to adjust the audio beam width, providing both intimate and room-filling sound experiences.

Bang & Olufsen’s commitment to sustainability shines through in the Beolab 8, designed as an upgradeable and repairable modular platform. This means that both exterior parts and internal components can be easily upgraded, ensuring longevity and adaptability as new technologies emerge.

For those who desire a truly immersive audio experience, pairing two Beolab 8 units in stereo mode, configured with an Apple iPhone, unlocks the “Fluid Sweet Spot” feature. This innovative technology utilizes motion tracking spatial audio, dynamically adjusting sound based on the listener’s position within the room, akin to Apple’s AirPods Max headphone’s spatial audio effect, without the need for headphones.

Each Beolab 8 is meticulously crafted in Bang & Olufsen’s renowned Factory 5 facility in Struer, Denmark, maintaining the same uncompromising level of craftsmanship seen in their larger counterparts.

The Bang & Olufsen Beolab 8 is now available for pre-orders and will hit the shelves starting October 30th, offered in a range of finishes, including Natural Aluminum, Gold Tone, Black Anthracite, and with a Grey Melange.

Leading control and automation manufacturer, RTI, today announced a new driver for the RTI control platform that seamlessly integrates with Sonos sound systems. Verified by the Works with Sonos program, the new driver enables added control and automation of Sonos products within an RTI smart home or smart business system.

“We are thrilled to launch the new Sonos-verified driver, which has been one of the top requests from our dealer base,” said RTI product director Neal Ellsworth. “The resulting integration enables integrators to build a music system fully tailored to their clients’ needs and managed from the same intuitive interface from which they manage their lighting, shades, climate, security and other automations.”

The real magic is the powerful events-based automation within the driver that enables integrators to automate client systems based on feedback from the Sonos system. For example, a favorite playlist can trigger a particular lighting scene. Conversely, a ring of the doorbell can dip the volume or pause the audio. “This richness of integration elevates any system,” continued Ellsworth. “It’s easy and intuitive for users, and seamless for integrators as well.”

The new integration starts with an auto-generated page in the RTI remote, touch panel or mobile device for each Sonos player added to the system. Control options include:

  • Simplified room grouping.
  • Volume control of individual and grouped Sonos players.
  • Full transport controls, including feedback metadata for cover art, artist/track/album details, and elapsed time.
  • Ability to route an externally connected AV source from one player to any other player.
  • Added home theater control with supported Sonos players including Night Sound and Speech Enhancement.

The new driver is available to authorized RTI dealers at the RTI driver store and directly within the RTI Integration Designer 11 control application programming software.

Sonos debuted Sonos Era 300 and Sonos Era 100, the industry leader’s next generation of smart speakers ushering in a whole new chapter in sound and design innovation. 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 (PCR) materials. Both Era 300 (£449) and Era 100 (£249) will be available globally on 28 March 2023.

“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”, said Patrick Spence, CEO of Sonos. “The Era family is the next generation of smart speakers, epitomising our commitment to sound innovation, responsible design and a deep connection to the creator community.”

Era 300: an unmatched spatial audio experience with Dolby Atmos for listeners and creators alike
Unprecedented for a single compact speaker, Era 300 boasts six powerful drivers that direct sound left, right, forward and upward, delivering a breakthrough audio performance featuring Dolby Atmos that places listeners at the very heart of their films and music.

“Dolby Atmos created a new way for music and audio entertainment to be experienced. Sounds and music come alive with unparalleled clarity and depth,” said Kevin Yeaman, President and CEO of Dolby Laboratories. “Era 300’s sound innovation with Dolby Atmos creates a completely immersive music experience.”

  • 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 cinema 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.

“Just like the shift from mono to stereo, spatial audio is the next evolution in listening—creating a sound experience that wraps you in music”, said Giles Martin, VP, Sound Experience at Sonos. “As both creators and major streaming platforms embrace spatial audio for music, the time is right to create an out loud listening experience that delivers against the promise of this thrilling and creative format”.

Sonos Era 300 will be available globally 28 March 2023 for £449.

Era 100: reinventing a category-leading icon

Only slightly larger than its predecessor Sonos One, Era 100 features all-new hardware and software, with next-gen acoustics and design that deliver detailed stereo sound and deep bass.

  • 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 soundbar to create a surround sound system, or simply pair two together for room-filling stereo sound.

Premium, responsible design that keeps everyone in mind

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 our 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.

“We bring the same forward-thinking mindset to responsible design as we do to creating powerful new listening experiences,” said Kitty Suidman, Design Director, Product Sustainability. “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”.

  • More sustainable sound: Era 100 and Era 300 are made with post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic and packaged in 100% sustainably sourced paper, while also engineered to reduce power consumption with under two watts idle power consumption and a new advanced sleep function.
  • Built to last: Designed to live in your home for years, both speakers are built for serviceability by reducing the use of adhesives and transitioning to screws for easy disassembly and repair.
  • Bold, new UI: Era 100 and Era 300 feature an intuitive new user interface, including a new capacitive volume slider for simple control that complements quick and private control of your music with Sonos Voice Control, the Sonos app, Apple AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth®.
  • Upgraded connectivity: Stream all the audio you care about using WiFi or Bluetooth, and directly connect other audio devices such as a turntable using an auxiliary cable and the Sonos Line-In Adapter.
  • Expanding Trueplay to more listeners: Using the microphone array in Era 100 and Era 300, Trueplay optimises the sound for the unique acoustics of your space with just a tap in the Sonos app. Available to both Android and iOS users.
