US EditionSonos unveils its first new hardware product in over a year
Sonos targets professional installers with an 8-channel amplifier delivering 125W per channel and multi-zone control, marking its hardware return after challenges since 2024.
- Sonos announced the Amp Multi as its first new hardware after over a year, publishing details on its product page and earnings call, with availability `in the coming months`.
- After a troubled run of product and leadership changes, Sonos faced a poorly received 2024 app revamp and layoffs before Tom Conrad, CEO, took over permanently last summer.
- Sonos says the Amp Multi delivers 8 x 125W across four zones, supports three Sonos Architectural speakers per channel, and offers USB‑C and analog RCA inputs plus Apple AirPlay 2 and Spotify Direct Control, omitting Google casting.
- Positioned for installers, Sonos expects the Amp Multi to cost more than $799 and frames it as a professional product, with plans to ramp up hardware in the second half of 2026.
- Given its eight channels and high output, Sonos says the Amp Multi targets professional installers and owners of very large or complicated spaces integrating traditional passive speakers, described as niche amid recent troubles.
