Sonos lets portable Play speakers act as rear surrounds for home theater
Sonos announced a new feature allowing its portable Play speakers to function as rear surround channels in home theater systems.
New flexibility for existing setups
Users can now pick up a portable speaker from another room and use it independently without breaking the system. The device automatically rejoins the main group once it returns to its original position. This update extends the versatility of the Sonos27 operating system to home theater applications.
Beam Ultra launch details
The company introduced the Beam Ultra soundbar alongside this new capability earlier this year. The feature gives owners more control over speaker placement for movies and TV viewing. This approach avoids committing a pair of speakers to permanent surround duties permanently.
