New Amp Multi for Professional Installations

Sonos announced its first product since late 2024 – the Amp Multi, a high‑power amplifier aimed at commercial and professional environments. The device expands Sonos’ portfolio beyond home audio, offering multi‑room scalability and integration with existing Sonos ecosystems.

App Issues Resolved and Leadership Change

After a disastrous app upgrade in early 2025 that left many users frustrated, Sonos insiders tell Bloomberg that the problems have been “resolved.” The turnaround coincides with a leadership shift: former CEO Patrick Spence was replaced by Tom Conrad in January 2025. Conrad publicly acknowledged the missteps, promising a return to the innovation that defined Sonos.

Future Hardware Roadmap

Bloomberg reports that Sonos plans to “ramp up” hardware launches in the second half of 2026. With the fiscal year ending in September, the company’s calendar could see multiple new speakers, soundbars, and possibly a refreshed app ecosystem.

  • Additional Amp variants for different power needs
  • New Dolby Atmos soundbars slated for early 2026
  • Wireless speakers targeting both consumer and professional markets

What This Means for Sonos Users

For longtime fans, the Amp Multi signals that Sonos is back on track and that the app controversy is behind them. The upcoming hardware slate suggests a renewed focus on both consumer and professional audio, aiming to reclaim leadership in the music‑intelligence race.
