Sonos Era 300 and Sonos Era 100, the industry leader’s next iteration of smart speakers, were unveiled, ushering in a new phase in sound and design innovation. The Era 300 is a bold, innovative new speaker designed to give the finest out loud spatial audio experience with Dolby Atmos, while the Era 100 is a remastering of the best-selling Sonos One. The Era family, tuned by award-winning musicians and technologists, enables new levels of immersive listening with extended connectivity and Trueplay technology. The Era 300 and Era 100 are also the first speakers to be constructed in accordance with Sonos’ new ethical design standards, which include long-term serviceability, energy-efficient technologies, and the use of post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials.
Both Era 300 (RM2,799) and Era 100 (RM1,599) will be available globally on 28 March 2023. Pre-orders are available at tcacoustic.asia on 7 March, 10.00pm and the Sonos Concept Store at The Starhill from 8 March onwards.
Dolby Atmos provides an unrivalled panoramic audio experience on the Era 300.
The Era 300 features six powerful speakers that guide sound left, right, forward, and upward, providing a groundbreaking audio performance with Dolby Atmos that puts users at the centre of their films and music.
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.
Era 100
Era 100, which is only slightly bigger than its forerunner Sonos One, has all-new hardware and software, as well as next-generation acoustics and design that offer precise stereo sound and powerful 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.
Quality, ethical design that considers everyone
Building on Sonos’ timeless acoustic-driven design aesthetic, the Era 100 and Era 300 are responsive to environmental challenges — and better for everyone who interacts with our designs, with a bold new UI and innovations that will help them last longer, use less energy, and use recycled materials in each product.
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.
