Sonos announced the PLAYBAR yesterday, a new sound bar system designed for use with your TV and home theatre setup. The Sonos PLAYBAR totes a unique nine-speaker design that delivers HiFi audio in a sleek and compact package. The PLAYBAR is flexible and can either rest above/below the TV or be wall mounted. The PLAYBAR is also smart, it can wirelessly connect to any existing SonosNet system (or connect using a wired Ethernet port) so that you can stream music from the web or any of your favourite music services (such as Rdio, Songza, iTunes library, and more). Finally, it’s also expandable should you need an even more immersive audio experience, add the Sonos SUB or a pair of Sonos PLAY:3 speakers to build a full 5.1 surround system.

If you own a Sonos wireless music streaming system and wish you could use your iPhone for more than just a controller (cool as that is), head to the iTunes store and download the latest Sonos Controller app. You'll gain the ability to play music directly from your iOS device —no iTunes library on a computer required!

Sonos wireless streaming speakers are all-in-one HiFi systems that are easily expandable. Use one as a standalone music player, add a wireless subwoofer, or have music playing in every room of your home —and control it all with your iPhone, iPad or Android device.
