by Leave a Comment

Sonos is focused on driving system sales

Sonos, a company that has recently scaled back its research and development team as part of a companywide austerity program to improve earnings, is resorting to some old “tried and true” methods of launching “new” and “innovative” products…by updating previous models. CEO Tom Conrad called it “…building on what already works.”

As such, it has introduced the “new” Play and Era 100 SL models. Will this strategy attract new users???

Specifically, the company notes that exposed-structure ceilings – once a limited funky or trendy design subset- are now mainstream or the “standard” in retail, hospitality, fitness, and mixed-use commercial spaces.

And that reality calls for some new and thoughtful audio system design considerations.
