Sonos has revealed its first product specifically engineered for professional installation, announcing the PoE-powered Era 100 Pro speaker.
A single cable that delivers both power and data to the Era 100 Pro which is optimised for PoE+ but can also be used with standard PoE.
Introduced alongside Era 100 Pro, zones offers an easier and more customisable way to orchestrate and control larger scale installations. Users can bond speakers together into a predictable, unified entity, providing a more permanent bonding experience that stays consistent throughout use.
The Era 100 Pro Surface Mount boasts 30-degree pan and tilt ranges and 360-degree rotation, enabling installation in any orientation. Its indexed ball joint allows installers to achieve repeatable angles with precision. Able to affix to virtually any surface, the mount can also accommodate hidden or exposed cabling, and has a locking base plate for theft deterrence.
Era 100 Pro has a built-in threaded insert and optional eyebolt that provides a secondary safety attachment point should building codes require it, helping the speaker withstand seismic events and avoid accidental damage. The hook receptacle increases stability when paired with the Surface Mount in non-portrait orientations.
With two 16mm silk angled high-frequency drivers and a 90.8 x 111.9 mm carbon filled-polypropylene low-frequency driver, the speaker delivers rich sound across a wide 240-degree horizontal dispersion, giving broad coverage from a compact profile.
