NEW RELEASE: Sonos announces the Play:5 Wireless system

The new-and-improved Sonos Play:5 is a Play:5 in name only - it's been completely re-engineered by Sonos that no part has been left the same. It may have that similar lozenge look that the original Play:5 had, but its edges are rounder and the flat foot that was apparent on the original has completely disappeared, making way for very small legs.

Underneath the grill, things have dramatically changed, too. Instead of two mid-woofers, there's now three 10cm drivers powering the mid range. These are backed by two 20mm tweeters situated on the left and right of the device (in cones) and one 22mm tweeter in the middle. This is by far the most powerful speaker Sonos has created - it built these components by taking a look at what was in the Play:1 and upgrading the drivers accordingly.

The new Trueplay tuning/calibration software that allows Sonos product owners to use the Sonos app and the microphone in their iPhone or iPad to tailor the speaker's output to suit their room environment. Trueplay will initially be available for the Play:1, Play:3, and Play:5speakers and iOS controllers but will expand to other Sonos products at a later date.
