Sonos BU130 Wireless multi-room music system
The new Sonos Bundle 130 allows music lovers to wirelessly play and control music in two rooms of the house. The music can come from your computer (PC or MAC) or from a network drive containing your MP3 and other audio files.
This bundle is comprised of three high quality components; the Sonos ZonePlayer 80 (ZP80), Sonos ZonePlayer 100 (ZP100) and the Sonos Controller 100 (CR100). The ZP80 can be connected to to an existing stereo or home theatre receiver to make it part of your digital music system. The ZP100 has a built-in amplifier and so can be connected directly to speakers and placed in any room; and the wireless CR100 controller allows you to control your music from any room in the house.
