Sonos
Sonos is a popular consumer sound system and Soundtrack’s best-known hardware partner. It is generally used in small businesses such as shops, offices and cafés that want a wire-free aesthetic.
Connecting Soundtrack to Sonos is super easy via the Sonos app. However, since it is a consumer system, you need to ensure your Wi-Fi network is stable enough to handle business use without interruptions.
