Sonos Era 100 Pro Multiroom Wireless Speaker (pairs)

Product Description

Bring professional-grade Sonos audio to commercial and residential installations with the Sonos Era 100 Pro, a premium multiroom wireless speaker engineered for flexible, scalable and professionally installed sound systems.

Designed specifically for professional environments, Era 100 Pro combines the acoustic architecture of the Era 100 with Power over Ethernet (PoE+), zone-based control and installation-focused features. A single Ethernet cable can provide both network connectivity and power, simplifying installations where conventional AC power may be difficult or undesirable. Sonos recommends PoE+ for maximum performance, while standard PoE is also supported.

Inside, three Class-D digital amplifiers drive one carbon-filled polypropylene low-frequency driver and two silk dome high-frequency drivers. The speaker produces a frequency response of 45 Hz–20 kHz ±3 dB and a nominal coverage angle of 240° horizontal × 140° vertical, making it particularly effective for distributed audio applications where broad and consistent coverage is important.

Era 100 Pro automatically adapts its DSP according to whether it is installed in portrait, landscape or ceiling orientation. Trueplay then further optimises the sound for the speaker's location. This makes the speaker suitable for restaurants, hotels, retail stores, hospitality spaces, offices, wellness environments and premium residential installations.

The speaker supports Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2 and Spotify Direct Control, while Sonos' zone functionality allows installers and businesses to create independently controlled audio areas across larger spaces.

Key Benefits

Simplified PoE+ Installation

Era 100 Pro can receive both power and network connectivity through a single Ethernet cable, helping reduce the complexity of professional installations. Sonos recommends PoE+ for maximum performance.

Flexible Zone Control

Create different audio zones and control music independently across restaurants, retail environments, hospitality spaces, offices and other multi-area installations.

Wide Sound Coverage

The 240° horizontal × 140° vertical nominal coverage pattern is designed to distribute sound broadly across the listening area rather than concentrating it in a narrow sweet spot.

Professional Acoustic Performance

Three Class-D amplifiers precisely drive the speaker's dedicated low- and high-frequency drivers for balanced and detailed audio reproduction.

Orientation-Aware DSP

Era 100 Pro automatically selects an optimised DSP configuration depending on whether it is mounted in portrait, landscape or ceiling orientation.

Trueplay Optimisation

Trueplay measures the acoustic characteristics of the environment and fine-tunes the speaker for its specific installation location.

Flexible Network Options

While Era 100 Pro is designed around professional wired networking and PoE, it can also connect to compatible Wi-Fi 6 networks where a wired data connection is not practical.

Built for Professional Spaces

Its mounting compatibility, cable-management options, zone control and PoE architecture make Era 100 Pro particularly suited to commercial and professionally installed audio systems.

Technical Specifications

Sonos specifies Era 100 Pro as optimized for PoE+ while remaining compatible with standard PoE. Using standard PoE can result in limited output at higher volume levels.
