Sonos Debuts New Sonos Amp To Power Any Speaker

Santa Barbara-based Sonos--the Central Coast's newest IPO darling--said on Wednesday that it has launched a new product called Sonos Amp, and also said it plans to work closer with third parties to integrate into its technology. The new Sonos Amp is a home audio amplifier, tied into the very well connected Sonos streaming ecosystem, but which powers traditional, wired speakers. Sonos said it also plans to support televisions, turntables, compact disc players, and other audio players with the new device. Sonos said that it is looking to open up its platform to connect to voice assistants, security systems, and other smart home technology, with a new set of application programming interfaces (APIs) which it calls its "Control APIs".
