‘trueplay is a revolutionary system that gives music lovers confidence that they’re hearing what their favorite artists labored to produce, independent of the room’s acoustics and speaker location,’ describes CEO john macfarlane. ‘finally there’s a simple, reliable process that delivers studio-quality listening experiences in each room of the home.’

using the SONOS app, the microphone on an iPhone or iPad, and a special tone emitted by the speaker, the system analyzes how sound reflects off walls, furnishings, glass and other surfaces in any given room.
their flagship speaker, the ‘play:5’ is built with six synchronized, custom-designed drivers. the speaker’s three mid-woofers create mid and deep lows, meanwhile the three tweeters deliver clear highs at any volume. the sound system itself can be orientated in three ways. this flexibility enables sound for any placement, in any room.
