Santa Barbara, CA-Sonos, Inc., the leading developer of wireless multi-room music systems for the digital home, today announced the award-winning Sonos Digital Music System is now available at ABT Electronics in Chicagoland, ten Ken Cranes in Southern California and six Vanns in Montana.
All retail locations will feature demos showcasing Sonos revolutionary approach to digital music services. By running broadband Internet connections to the Sonos point-of-sale display, music lovers can now experience the power of having direct access to millions of songs and thousands of personalized radio stations via the Rhapsody Online Music Service and Pandora. Sonos connects directly to these services over the Internet, allowing consumers to instantly access songs and stations on the handheld Controller without ever having to turn on the computer.
Each regional retailer will carry the entire Sonos product line, including the new Sonos Bundle 130 (BU130). The BU130, which retails for $999, is the most convenient and cost effective way for new Sonos customers to get started playing digital music in two rooms of their house with control from the palm of their hand.
