We have been waiting for what seems a lifetime for a new piece of hardware from Sonos, but now the wait is finally over. Sonos is launching the ZP120 and the Z90, they are also being released as a bundle, the BU150 bundle will also come with the same original controller.

To look at the ZP120 and Z90, they are no different to other Sonos models, but it is the support for SonosNet 2.0 that improves these over other models. This system uses MIMO; this doubles the wireless distance between nodes.

For those with a keen eye, they will notice that the ZP120 has gone on a diet and shed a few pounds over its predecessor. Although it is lighter, the ZP120 portable home audio system still pushes out 55 watts of sounds.

Sonos are also launching a newer version of their desktop software, version 2.6. This new software will index more music than before, 65,000 tracks in total. The new software also gives new and existing users $200 of free music.
