Sonos® Controller 100 With the Sonos® Controller in hand, you'll have instant access to your entire digital music collection, Internet radio and select music services from almost anywhere—inside or out. That's because the Sonos Controller uses SonosNet™, our secure, wireless mesh network that extends the range of your Controller throughout your entire home. Which means you don't have to run to your PC every time you want to pick a new tune or raise the volume. You can use up to 32 Controllers for all your ZonePlayers—like one for every room, floor or music lover in your house. When it comes to scrolling through music libraries, browsing titles, viewing album art, queuing up tracks, choosing zones, and more, the large, full-color LCD screen and scroll wheel make it a real cinch. To get started, just pick a room, pick a song and hit play. If you ship FedEx Ground on this product, please ignore shipping cost that appears at checkout. Controller Features Feature Description/Benefit Wireless, handheld control Integrated, multi-room control Lets you control what music is playing in every room in your house, from anywhere in your house. Control of your music is not tied to the room where you're listening. SonosNet™ A secure AES encrypted, peer-to-peer wireless mesh network that extends the range of the Controller to any room in your house, even outside. Avoids sources of wireless interference by communicating with the closest ZonePlayer, rather than through one distant control point.
