For restaurant or retail store owners, it’s clear that a great customer experience goes beyond just

the food or merchandise. The atmosphere plays a crucial role, and the right soundtrack can keep
customers coming back for more. However, the day-to-day demands of running a business can
make it difficult to focus on selecting the right sound system for the space.

Business owners should be able to enjoy excellent sound, robust control, and a hassle-free setup
that doesn’t distract from serving customers. That’s why Sonos is introducing the Era 100 Pro, a
speaker specifically designed for professional installation in commercial spaces. The Era 100 Pro
reimagines the iconic Sonos speaker with features like Power over Ethernet (optimized for
PoE+), a pro-grade mount, and the ability to create custom audio zones throughout the space.
Additionally, music schedules, volume levels, and playlists featuring only commercially licensed
content during business hours will need to be pre-set. Sonos Pro addresses this by offering a
subscription that provides more control over the sound system with remote monitoring and
management. It also offers ad-free, commercially licensed music that perfectly suits the
atmosphere.

Now, let’s break down the hardware and software, and explore how they work together to deliver
a unique combination of content, control, and professional-grade audio for businesses.
