Reading: Zero. Preface I. Appearance Two. Configuration articles Three. Operation IV. Sound quality V. Skills Six. Summary Zero. Preface First of all, thank Aunt Zhang for giving me this valuable evaluation quota! When I first recalled playing the Dangerous cassette of Michael Jackson with the Sony E818 when I was in elementary school, I was shocked by the knock on the door of “Black or Whiteâ€. I mistakenly thought that someone was slamming the door. At that time, I realized that Stereo, then the headset is mainly used are well-known MX500, PX100, K420, Koss PP stream, although there is a Shure E3c but still feel a little white water. The source of the sound source is that the hard drive is better, of course, compared to the Zune 30G and iPod Classic, I still prefer Zen Micro's sound, and I have a little bit of a taste for everyone. As for the speaker's favorite Rambler's E3100 during college, the best-known speaker is the Geneva Model S. This time, he has the opportunity to experience the SONY PLAY:1, the industry's leading wireless HiFi audio manufacturer. Or is it not yet officially released in China? Actually, I didn't have much deep understanding of music. I heard it mixed. What pop, rap, rock, jazz, electronics, and even instrumental music all listened to. When I was in college, I still blindly listened to determine the sampling rate of the audio file. Is it 96, 128 or 192 kbps? To tell the truth, I can hear 192 kbps on the device I was on hand, and I can't hear the difference. Perhaps it is real fungus, perhaps limited by equipment. Since I haven't heard many speakers yet, let alone high-end boxes, I can only compare the Geneva voice at hand with SONOS, but it's just that these two are considered to be one price point. Look at the head. The following text starts~ I. Appearance Not long after the list of public betas was announced, they saw the news of the shipment. Then two days later, they received a big box that seemed to carry a lot of heat. Aunt Zhang’s box and “shouting†tape attracted many colleagues Two PLAY:1 packaging is very hard The PLAY:1 received this time is black, Bridge is white, put together there is a feeling of Oreo This review provides two PLAY:1 and a Bridge Bridge, one by one to see it ~ 1. PLAY:1 The size of the box can refer to Uncle Toriyama, who is 15cm in height on the left. The box is printed with black and white two-color squares. Since the PLAY:1 is black, a check mark is placed in the middle of the black square. After opening the box, the first to see is the booklet in the upper left corner of the cover, suddenly found SONOS LOGO from the cover is up and down, that is, after rotating 180 ° is still SONOS, ha ha, good wit Design ~ The three booklets are quick start guides, notes, product promotions, and good print quality The box is small, but it has a lot of weight. The outside is tightly wrapped with non-woven fabrics to prevent bumps during transportation. There are power cords and cable cords for the accessories. The cords are designed with anti-wrapped noodle strings. The color is also consistent with the color of the box. Power cord here is a very intimate design , see the picture there are two with the binding line yet? The effect of the following picture will appear after removing the tagged one Did you find anything? Both sides of the power cord are only spread out on each side, which is suitable for the situation where the speaker is closer to the plug. This is the first time I saw the power cord with this kind of tying design. Speaker is wrapped in metal mesh cover, workmanship is very texture At the top there is indicator light, play/pause key and volume key. After the key is pressed, the status will be updated on the client. There are speaker fixing holes and cable jacks on the back. Of course, there is no problem if you do not plug the cable with a wireless connection. There are four raised pads on the bottom, and the soft material of the pads will not scratch the table or be scratched. L-type interface plug in the power cord is still very beautiful ~ The front of the box is the appearance of the Bridge, and the basic functions of the Bridge are introduced on the back. It can be seen from the figure that there are no PLAY:1, Soundbar, and Subwoofer that are not yet officially listed in the country. After opening the box, it is still the user's manual that comes first. The bridge body is on the bottom and the power supply is on the right. Accessories are still the power + noodles line, but the color is white, and the color of the body The body is very simple, there is only a separate button On the back is the cable outlet and power port There are cooling holes at the bottom periphery Use the iPhone 4S to compare the size of the bridge, which is similar to a TV box, and the weight is very light And the effect of PLAY:1 is this, Oreo's rhythm ~ II. Configuration SONOS supports Mac, Windows, Android, iOS system, connection can use the network cable can also use WiFi wireless connection, taking into account the WiFi's bandwidth can support high-quality audio transmission, and more convenient, so I started the initial configuration in the mobile phone, The general configuration of the computer side is also the same. The specific steps to display the GIF image to save the layout ~ (in order to facilitate you to find the correct order in the motion of this infinite loop, I added a START picture on the front of the first picture) The whole setup method is very simple, as long as you follow the prompt step by step, finally the software will prompt to register the account and update the system, wait a while to complete the settings, add a PLAY:1 after adding a second will be added to the current Establish a good SONOS system. The configuration of Bridge is just as simple, but it must be connected by a network cable. Although the PLAY:1 can be directly connected with the wireless route in the home, it can also be connected through the Bridge's wireless hub function, but the two are slightly different in the connection effect. The picture above shows the device management interface of the Pole Routing. Two SonosZPs refer to the PLAY:1 speaker and the SonosZB refers to the Bridge Bridge. From the above figure, it can be seen that the Bridge is always connected by a wired connection, and the PLAY:1 is a wireless connection when not connected to the Bridge, and is automatically displayed as a wired connection when the Bridge intervenes, so that although it cannot be operated It is determined whether to connect through the Bridge, but the connection status of the speaker can still be discerned on the management interface of the router. Another point is that the Bridge has a very high priority. When the PLAY:1 uses the wireless router to play songs on the direct connection, it will power the Bridge. Soon the Bridge will take control away. Playback of the PLAY:1 will be paused. The router management interface will find that the speakers are connected to the Bridge. Similarly, if the bridge is powered off while the Bridge is playing, the playback of the PLAY:1 will be paused, and the connection will soon be transferred from the Bridge to the wireless router. Therefore, Bridge's high-priority connection design actually gives the highest priority to the SONOS system built by Bridge. This makes it easy to optimize network connections. When there are multiple SONOS devices in the home, they are quickly connected together to form a solid network. Playback environment. Three. Operation SONOS supports manipulation on mobile phones, tablets, and computers. The functions of the console are the same, but the interface takes into account different screen adaptations and operating habits. In fact, the most comfortable or mobile phone ~ As shown in the figure above, the Android mobile phone comes with a radio function by default. It can broadcast many built-in broadcast live programs. The following can add third-party music services (such as QQ music) on the page as long as they are authorized on the page. Of course, you can also play local audio files. The first picture is a menu interface, which can play content and modify settings. The second picture is a built-in radio station. There are CRI and HitFM. What do you say about the fans of Flying Fish Show? The third picture is the QQ Music Billboard list, which will pull the cover and list from the Internet. I found that the QQ music's cover picture is much clearer than the shrimp music. The fourth picture is the EQ setting, which can be set individually for each speaker. The mobile phone still looks limited, let's take a look at the computer: The computer can add a local music library or specify a network address. Once set, it will automatically scan all music files in the directory and create an index in the client. The interface under the Mac is divided into five parts, the top is the control bar; on the left is the device list for accessing the SONOS system, the location where the device is located (which needs to be set by itself) and the playback track are shown on the left; the upper part is the currently playing surface. Information; the bottom is the playlist; the right side is the music library, including radio, local music library and online music services. Take QQ Music as an example, SONOS' QQ Music online music service can search for singers, songs, and view rankings just like QQ music clients. The online service of Shrimp Music can click on the artist's name to view the introduction and the user experience is very good. In the lower right corner of the client (it seems to be blocked by a watermark...) You can set the sleep time and alarm clock. The setting of the alarm clock is very rich. You can specify which room you want to play in, as well as the playback period, volume, and playback content. For example, I like the morning 8 Point in the bedroom to play an easy FM show flying fish alarm clock ~ Two boxes can be placed one on the living room and one on the bedroom. If you want better listening, you can put two in the same room, and you can quickly combine two PLAY:1 Stereo pair. On the right-click menu of the Mac version client can also view the currently playing track information, but found a translation is not a good place The accurate translation of the function indicated by the red arrow should be the next one. This translates into the "next step". Of course, translating the previous song into the "previous" is acceptable. In addition to the features mentioned above, there are two places that are impressive: 1) Whether you are operating on a mobile phone, tablet or computer client, or pressing the PLAY:1 physical button, all APPs will instantly update the status of the volume and playback progress. The more convenient point on the phone is that the task bar can be displayed. The current track can also directly control the playback. Whether it's a cell phone, a tablet, or a computer that you can handle, it's easy to control. 2) Another fun thing is that I close the client after adding the playlist on the computer. The speakers can still continue to play. When the initial configuration is requested, the update system should indicate that there is a microsystem in the speaker. IV. Sound quality After talking about the sound quality of the operation, the Model S, which is used to make a comparison, is the same as the listening distance. There are more tracks to compare during this period. Here are some of the more familiar ones and I think they are more representative: Eagles Hotel California The hotel in California is a frequent visitor to the test. My focus is on two things. One is the sound of sand hammers, and the other is the opening applause and cheers. In these two places PLAY: 1 single box performance is not as good as Model S, the sound is not a sense of space, after all, Model S has two units of performance is certainly better. However, you can already feel the outstanding low frequency performance of PLAY:1 here. After the stereo pairs are formed, the sound field of the PLAY:1 is really out of the picture, and it is even better than the Model S. The details are in place, especially the low frequency performance is more powerful. On the contrary, the lack of low frequency of Model S is more obvious. Tsai Chin's Ferry, Forgotten Time Sister Tsai's voice was full of enthusiasm. Before she listened to the performance of Model S, she was still very satisfied. Here, I chose to forget the time and ferry to listen to mid-range and low-frequency. PLAY: 1 single box is still not comparable to the Model S, so simply listen directly behind the double box Bale ... Aunt Cai's vibraphone is performed by the double PLAY: 1 is very good, forgotten time background drum sound looks like there is a legendary Out of the box. Model S's performance is not bad, slightly less. The ferry begins again to show PLAY: 1 outstanding low frequency. Faye Wong From Faye Wong's bite can be heard PLAY: 1 of the resolving power is good, but compared with the Model S taste is still not the same, can not tell in the end is where different, perhaps the Model S more clear it. This song I prefer the style of Model S. Yan Xuemin's "Drum Poetry" This track is selected more in order to enjoy the PLAY: 1 low-frequency ~ PLAY: 1 low-frequency volume is very full, every drum beat the drum head moment and the details of the drum skin vibration can feel, in the fast At the end of the day, there was a period of drumming away. I heard a V-shaped look. I didn't know whether or not I was actually playing. After nearly 10 minutes of music, there was still a feeling of unpredictability. The Model S is considered to be defeated here. The bass is not just not enough sense, even mixed, can not tell the details of the drums before and after, are mixed together. In fact, when I heard SONOS PLAY: 1 for the first time, I was shocked by its low-frequency performance. I couldn't imagine that this sound came from such a small box, and the sound volume was not turned on when I was listening normally. After over 50%, once trying to pull the volume up to 100%, I couldn't hear the sound of breaking and mixing, and once again lamented the enormous energy contained in this small figure. V. Skills Imagine if there will be such a scenario, only provide power, no network, no router. So can SONOS be used at this time? It seems that this situation is rarely seen suddenly, but in fact there are still some, such as the company's annual party in a conference venue, or in an empty room to practice dancing, or dance to the square dance of Grandpa and Aunt... These are all There is an environment with no power but no music, in which case PLAY:1 can also play local music as usual. Here's how to say: This task requires only two smart phones. First, set up a wireless hotspot with the mobile phone 1, then use the mobile phone 2 to connect to this hot spot, and configure it on the APP in the same way as configuring the SONOS for the first time. The steps are exactly the same. The following figure is a screenshot of the wireless hotspot management interface of mobile phone 1: Two of the devices that begin with b8:e9 are two PLAY:1. This address is also written at the bottom of the speaker, and the f8:01 is the phone 2, so the phone's hot spot is connected to two speakers and the phone 2 Among them, the mobile phone 2 is used as a music playback control, and the local music saved in the mobile phone 2 can be directly played. Of course, if you have a portable router with a built-in battery, you can do the above tasks, but it's easier to find two phones on a party. Six. Summary The feelings of the public testing experience down the SONOS PLAY: 1 in the overall design and workmanship are doing very well, especially the double binding line design is very convenient and user-friendly. The compact size and sleek look are also easily integrated into the home environment , whether on the desk or the TV cabinet. The ease of operation of the client also left a deep impression. Many online music services also avoid the complexity of installing multiple playback software, and calling and searching are very convenient and quick. From a cost-effective point of view, individuals feel higher than the Geneva Model S. Since PLAY:1 is not available in the country, it is based on US pricing. The price of a PLAY:1 is 199 US dollars, and the price of Model S is 299 US dollars. Although the sound quality of a single box is not as good as the Model S, but the double box The combination is much stronger, so the price comparison is 398:299, and the extra $99 is in exchange for a convenient wireless connection and a more casual collocation mode with better listening performance. I think it costs more money. Of course, Model S's recent discount is more brutal, and that's another thing... It's excellent to say that it's PLAY: 1 to listen to pop. Although PLAY: 1 single box price is 199 US dollars in the United States, you can buy a good bookshelf speakers in the country, but the wireless connection is really really easy! I used to go out and wear the Zune 30G+Koss PP or K420, but later I replaced the Palm Pixi Plus+Jabra Halo or Moto S9. To be honest, the sound quality is still good, but the outdoors is not a good listening sound. Environment, so the bluetooth player + Bluetooth stereo headset with me is enough, and the pick and place and operation is also more convenient. Back to the speaker, the wireless connection will not make the home environment cluttered, and it can be easily moved. If the power cord can be saved, it would be better, but if it is passive, then the power is not enough, or to a wireless Power supply is also good ~ Of course PLAY:1 The biggest drawback or regret is that you can only listen to music or radio, and you can't use it when watching a movie, nor can you use an external audio source. This limits it to pure music playback, but it cannot provide complete entertainment. enjoy. This can not be achieved on the higher end PLAY:3, only the highest end PLAY:5. However, SONOS official recommended to build 5.1 theater system The theater system includes a SoundBar all-in-one player, a Subwoofer subwoofer, and two Play:1s, of which Subwoofer is 0.1 in 5.1. The Soundbar has three groups of nine phonetic units that are 3 in 5.1, and two Play:1 are The remaining 2 in 5.1. Together with Bridge, it forms a complete audition enjoyment system. As for the price, it's worth more than 10,000... I hope Soundbar can give a discount to Christmas at Christmas. I really want to use SONOS to watch movies. Play, that bass must have a sense of it ~ Air fryer,High Quality Air fryer,Air fryer Details, CN Ningbo ATAP Electric Appliance Co.,Ltd , https://www.atap-airfryer.com
