What's new at Totally Wired?

The SONOS SUBWOOFER is here.

This new subwoofer brings the Sonos wireless system up to a whole new level - the improvement in sound quality is quite remarkable - equal or better than traditional systems - but with far easier installation, set up and control.

If you'd had any doubts as to either the sound quality or stability of wireless systems, Sonos is going to show you how its done. In the 3 short years since we started with Sonos, the company has both grown and advanced hugely. If there is one word that describes Sonos best we think it's smart. There's real intelligence behind everything they do, but they never loose sight of the fact that they need to be delivering a concept that is both simple enough for everyone to enjoy, but sophisticated enough to appeal to the most demanding listeners and users.

The new Sonos subwoofer will fit in just about any new or existing Sonos system - you can use it with either single or paired Play 3 or Play 5 speakers and with any system using the Control amp (formerly known as the ZP120). In combination with any of these the Subwoofer can be used in both music and movie based systems - Sonos is at home in almost any situation.

Its an absolute breeze to set up - the Sonos software guides you through a simple but very effective routine that means you'll be up and running in minutes with the sound being perfectly matched to any room, any placement and speakers. The Sonos sub is one of the few that actually looks as good as it sounds and visa versa - the unique shape with two opposing drivers delivers deep powerful bass from a compact and slim enclosure. In stock now in beautiful high gloss black for NZ$1595. Learn more about both the Subwoofer and the complete Sonos system here.

It is only bettered in analogue performance by Cambridges own flagship model - the 751BD, and its a fact that in many systems the 651s performance is identical.
